Bawumia meets Idris Elba to discuss future of creative arts economy
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and renowned actor Idris Elba recently convened to explore the future of financial inclusion for Ghanaian creatives.
Their meeting, held at the Jubilee House on February 15, 2024, centered on harnessing the potential of Africa’s dynamic creative arts sector by seamlessly integrating Ghanaian artists into the global financial landscape.
A particularly intriguing aspect of their discussion was the exploration of a novel financial system driven by blockchain technology. This innovative solution aims to empower African artists by simplifying and securing global payments for their creative endeavors, irrespective of their geographical location or chosen platform.
Dr. Bawumia expressed optimism about the potential of this system, underscoring Ghana’s advanced digital payments infrastructure as a significant advantage. He noted that the forthcoming launch of this system later in the year would create opportunities for Ghanaian creatives to thrive on a global scale.
Furthermore, the Vice President commended Idris Elba for his efforts in bridging the gap between African creatives and the global market, recognizing the actor’s role in fostering connectivity and visibility for Ghanaian artists worldwide.
