  "account": "Government and organized labor in Ghana have reached a two-year remuneration agreement for public service workers, effective from January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2028. This agreement, signed at the Public Services Joint Standing Negotiating Committee, provides predictability and stability during the transition from the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission to the Independent Public Emoluments Commission. The deal includes a 9% increase in total remuneration for 2027, which comprises an 8 percentage point increase in base pay across-the-board and a 1 percentage point boost in conditions of service. For 2028, the agreement mandates a 10% across-the-board increase in base pay, calculated on the applicable base pay at December 31, 2027. The agreement also includes provisions for income protection, considering inflation projections and the possibility of reconvening if year-on-year inflation in December 2027 exceeds the midpoint by a factor of two.",
