President John Dramani Mahama has extended a warm invitation for Czech businesses to bring their expertise in machinery, automotive components, and advanced agro-processing technologies to Ghana.
“We readily welcome Czech expertise in machinery, automotive components, and advanced agro-processing technologies to help Ghana add substantial value to our abundant agricultural produce and create integrated supply chains that benefit both our economies,” Mahama stated.
By leveraging Czech innovations, Ghana seeks to add greater value to its abundant agricultural produce, create integrated supply chains, and ultimately unlock new opportunities for economic growth that will benefit both nations.
Turning his attention to Ghana’s rapidly expanding digital sector, President Mahama highlighted the country’s ongoing digital transformation.
“The repeal of the 1% e-levy on electronic transactions, alongside broader tax reforms, promises further growth and inclusion in digital financial services,” Mahama emphasized.
The recent changes are set to stimulate further growth in the sector, encouraging more people to embrace digital financial services and boosting overall financial inclusion.
He also pointed out that Czech companies, known for their cutting-edge fintech solutions, robust cybersecurity frameworks, and expertise in digital infrastructure development, could play a crucial role in Ghana’s digital evolution.
“Czech companies’ expertise in fintech, cybersecurity, and digital infrastructure development will be invaluable in accelerating this transformation,” Mahama said. “These advancements will not only bridge the digital divide but also support the creation of a more inclusive financial ecosystem, benefiting Ghana and the wider African market.”
Through these partnerships, both Ghana and the Czech Republic stand to benefit from a robust and diversified economic relationship that strengthens agriculture, digital services, and the broader trade environment in Africa.
