Business owners are urging government to reduce taxes and import duties to support local enterprises. Many say high taxes, expensive imports and weak spending made last year difficult.
Some traders described 2025 as challenging, though a few said they managed to survive. Several owners expected improvements after the change of government and a stronger cedi. As the new year begins, most remain cautiously optimistic about better conditions. They believe stable economic policies will help businesses plan and expand.
Traders also want a more stable dollar to control prices and inflation. They say closer government–private sector cooperation is key to long-term growth.
