Mahama Invites Czech Firms to Invest in $10bn Rail, Infrastructure Projects in Ghana
President John Mahama has called on Czech businesses to invest in tram and light rail systems for Accra and Kumasi as part of Ghana’s $10 billion “Big Push” infrastructure agenda.
Speaking at the Czech-Ghana Business Cooperation Seminar in Accra on April 9, 2025, Mahama said the rail projects would ease urban congestion and boost trade, especially under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
He highlighted Czech expertise in transport, digital tech, health, and manufacturing as valuable to Ghana’s development goals, including value-added industries like food processing and pharmaceuticals.
Mahama also welcomed Czech involvement in health, sanitation, real estate, and tourism, noting reforms to improve Ghana’s business climate. A Ghana-Czech Trade Forum is planned in Prague later this year, with a new trade cooperation MoU expected to be finalized soon.
“This visit marks a new chapter, let’s build strong commercial ties for mutual prosperity,” he said.
