Recommendations
On recommendations, the GSS urged households and consumers to practice intentional spending by comparing prices, prioritising value, and choosing suppliers who offer transparent and competitive pricing.
It also called on them to leverage information by staying updated on inflation trends and making smarter purchasing decisions that protect their budget.
For businesses, the GSS advise them to reduce operational costs and enhance efficiency by streamlining processes, eliminating waste, and strengthening productivity to ensure optimal use of resources.
It also wants them to channel cost savings into strategic growth by reinvesting in upgrading tools, workforce skills, and strengthening supply chains to enhance long-term growth and competitive advantage.
It, however, urged the government to prioritise investments with high impact by targeting incentives to firms that expand production capacity, adopt advanced technologies, and create new jobs.
