President John Dramani Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has said that data from the World Bank shows Ghana’s economy has demonstrated remarkable resilience.
According to him, this indicates that the government’s economic policies are a step in the right direction.
Speaking at the Ghana-Czech Business Cooperation Seminar on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, Mahama stated that this upward trajectory positions Ghana as an ideal partner for Czech businesses seeking access to the vast and rapidly growing African market of 1.3 billion consumers.
As of 2023, Ghana exported items worth approximately US$1.12 million to the Czech Republic while exports from the Czech Republic to Ghana were pegged at US$20.82 million.
President Mahama said; “World Bank data indicates that Ghana’s economy has demonstrated remarkable resilience with a GDP growth rate projected at 4.2% for 2025 — a testament to the soundness of our economic policies. This positive trajectory coupled with our strategic position as the gateway to West Africa and our pivotal role as host of the AfCFTA Secretariat positions Ghana as an ideal partner for Czech businesses seeking access to the vast and rapidly growing African market of 1.3 billion consumers.
“This forward-looking policy aligns with the transformative objectives of the AfCFTA which aims to create a single, integrated market for goods, services and people across our diverse continent.”
Mahama further stated that Ghana is ready to collaborate with Czech expertise in machinery, automotive components and advanced agro-processing technologies.
He added that this partnership would help Ghana add substantial value to its abundant agricultural produce and create integrated supply chains that benefit both economies.
