The Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama, has engaged Ghanaian content creators on X (formerly Twitter) following concerns over access to earnings from digital platforms.
The meeting, held at Bank Square, comes after the Bank issued a statement on April 20, 2026, clarifying that such earnings are classified as service export proceeds under Ghana’s foreign exchange regulations.
Addressing the creators, Dr. Asiama assured them that the Bank values their work, “just like the export of cocoa.” He emphasized the Bank’s readiness to assist with any challenges related to receiving payouts.
“If you have any issues with your payouts, we are ready to help. We are making ourselves accessible so that we resolve all the issues that you have,” he stated.
The Governor also encouraged the creators to form a formal association to streamline communication and ensure quicker resolution of concerns.
“We are interested in what you are doing and will do everything to facilitate your work,” he added.
Under current regulations, digital earnings can be received through Foreign Exchange Accounts or Ghana Cedi accounts, provided all transactions comply with regulatory requirements.
