Vice President, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia met with celebrated actor, Idris Elba and his team, and we had a meaningful dialogue on the dynamic and expanding creative arts economy of Africa.
Focus of discussion was on the financial inclusion of Ghanaian creative arts and devising strategies to integrate them into the worldwide financial ecosystem.
Many African industry players are locked out of the global payments ecosystem and we therefore discussed the proposed implementation of a new system leveraging blockchain technology to assist them and ensure that they get paid for their music and arts no matter where in the world it is used commercially.
Given Ghana’s relatively advanced system of digital payments, the new system is expected to be launched in Ghana later this year.
