  "summary": "The 2027 Budget for Ghana's 24-hour economy programme does not include several key incentives that were promised in the 283-page policy document released in July 2025. These incentives aimed to attract businesses into the programme by reducing production costs and supporting expansion. Among the missing incentives are corporate income-tax rebates, discounted electricity tariffs for night-time production, and rebates on manufactured exports. The budget instead outlines a narrower set of tax measures for participating enterprises. The policy document sought to make longer operating hours commercially attractive and proposed several incentives to support business growth, including exemptions for businesses in designated agricultural sectors and discounted night-time electricity tariffs.",
