The time has come for Ghana to establish a Pricing Regulatory Commission or Authority, a body dedicated solely to monitoring, evaluating, and setting fair price thresholds for essential goods and services. This institution will be different from, and operate independently of, existing consumer protection structures. It will serve as a stabilising force in the economy and help restore confidence in market fairness.
