Dr Bawumia said that the meetings were insightful and fruitful
New Patriotic Party leader Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and his delegation visited Japan to discuss monetary policy, central bank digital currency (CBDC), and payment systems with various institutions. The discussions took place at the Central Bank of Japan, Japan’s Digital Agency, Chiba University, the Ministry of Lands, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security, and UNIDO Japan.
Dr. Bawumia expressed that the meetings were insightful and fruitful, thanking his hosts for their hospitality and the valuable insights shared. Before the meetings, Dr. Bawumia also visited 3R, a cutting-edge environmental technology company. The company has developed advanced technology capable of recycling water and cleaning contaminated soil by removing harmful heavy metals, including mercury.
Dr. Bawumia was inspired by this innovation, especially as Ghana faces the challenge of Galamsey, which has negatively impacted the country's lands and water bodies. He emphasized that innovation like this showcases the potential for sustainable, long-term solutions to restore and protect natural resources, ensuring a safer, cleaner future for generations to come.
Dr. Bawumia expressed his gratitude to the leadership and technical team at 3R for opening their facility and sharing invaluable insights.
