Economic policies have drawn criticism from the African Democratic Congress. A statement from the party's National Publicity Secretary highlights a discrepancy between claimed economic recovery and the actual experiences of businesses. The departure of a global ride-hailing company is cited as evidence of challenges in the business environment.

This development is seen as part of a larger trend, with several multinational firms shutting down or scaling back operations. The party is questioning the significance of a small improvement in GDP growth, arguing it has not had a noticeable impact.

Further details on the party's statement and criticism are available from the source.
