Prices will not come down, but your take-home pay will reduce. You must strategize to ensure you do not feel the hardship even more if the COLA stops coming after December 2023 Public sector workers and Ghanaian workers, in general, must begin to strategize and embrace themselves for more hardship from Jan. 2023. For now, public sector workers are enjoying a 15% COLA hence they may not really feel the real impact and heat of the upward increasing cost of living resulting from the upward prices of general goods and services. No matter the amount that your 15% COLA means in money terms, it has certainly given you some additional income to spend. Although the 15% COLA was taxed, it has improved the financial position of workers, no matter the value in real money terms which was added to their normal income. Per the agreement reached between organized labour and the government, the 15% COLA will end in December 2022.

Once the rate goes up, it hardly comes down the following year. Organized labour may have to start thinking all over again ahead of the expiration of the 15% COLA. One move will be to call on the government to extend the COLA for at least another 6 months and increase wages and salaries as well.
