President John Dramani Mahama announced a US$10 billion New Economy Programme that will begin next year. The program involves investing US$2 billion annually for four years into productive economic sectors. This investment will be split, with half supporting agriculture and agro-processing, and the remainder supporting industry and market infrastructure. Construction of a new free zones enclave for the program began at Afienya in the Greater Accra Region.
