The President of Traders Advocacy Group, Ghana, TAGG, David Amoateng has urged authorities to engage more with the trading community on new policy measures introduced in the 2023 Budget Statement.
This, according to him, will enable all stakeholders to share ideas and jaw-jaw for solutions, rather than imposing the proposed measures on traders.
His comments come on the back of the Ghana Revenue Authority, GRA’s implementation of the complete reversal of the benchmark value.
The move he said will have untoward hardship on consumers, hence the need for sample marketing of prices before purchasing.
In an interview, Mr. Amoateng said “this will save shoppers some money as TAGG has advised its members to reduce prices of their wares following the appreciation of the Cedi”.
