The Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) says its members will still go ahead and close shops in the Greater Accra Region beginning Wednesday, to protest the current economic challenges.
This is despite an engagement with members of the Council of State on Tuesday, to convince the group to rescind its decision.
GUTA says the protest has been necessitated by the high cost of doing business in recent times, insisting that the continuous plummeting of the local currency on the exchange market and the high inflation rate have exacerbated their plight.
