The National Tripartite Committee (NTC) has announced a 10% increase in Ghana’s National Daily Minimum Wage (NDMW) for 2025, raising it from the 2024 rate to GHS19.97.
The decision was reached during a meeting held on Thursday, February 20, 2025, in Accra.
The NTC explained that in determining the new wage, it considered economic challenges, cost of living, business sustainability, and the goal of higher employment levels.
The committee emphasized that the new wage will take effect on March 1, 2025, and urged all establishments, institutions, and organizations to comply with the new rate.
