President John Dramani Mahama recently shared insights on Ghana’s economic strength, citing World Bank data that showcases its remarkable resilience. During the Ghana-Czech Business Cooperation Seminar on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, he emphasized the effectiveness of Ghana’s economic policies.
According to President Mahama, these strategies are steering the nation towards a prosperous future, making Ghana an attractive partner for Czech businesses eager to tap into Africa’s thriving market of 1.3 billion consumers.
As of 2023, trade between Ghana and the Czech Republic saw Ghana exporting goods worth about US$1.12 million to the Czech Republic, while imports totaled US$20.82 million.
President Mahama explained that, “The World Bank projects Ghana’s GDP growth rate to be 4.2% for 2025, underscoring our economic policies’ success. Coupled with our strategic location as West Africa’s gateway and home to the AfCFTA Secretariat, Ghana is perfectly positioned as a partner for Czech enterprises keen on accessing Africa’s expansive market.”
This strategic direction aligns with the African Continental Free Trade Area’s (AfCFTA) goals of creating a unified market for goods, services, and people across the continent.
President Mahama also expressed Ghana’s readiness to collaborate with Czech experts in sectors such as machinery, automotive components, and advanced agro-processing technologies. He noted that these partnerships would enhance the value-added to Ghana’s agricultural outputs and develop integrated supply chains benefiting both nations.
