Ghana Signs Long-Awaited Post-Brexit Trade Agreement With U.K.

(Bloomberg) --

Ghana and the U.K. have signed an interim trade agreement, one of the last bilateral deals hanging in the balance following Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union.

The agreement restores the duty-free and quota-free access Ghanaian exporters had to the U.K. market before Brexit, according to a joint statement posted on the U.K. government website dated Feb. 4. It also reinstates the preferential tariffs enjoyed by Britain’s exporters to the West African country.
