The Electronic Transaction Levy is a raging issue in Ghana. Opinions are divided on the matter. The government of Ghana in its 2022 budget proposal announced the introduction of an Electronic Transaction Levy which will be a 1.75 percent charge on all electronic transactions, including Mobile Money (Momo). The levy will be waived for transactions that amount to GH¢100 or less in a day or approximately GH¢3,000 per month. What are the good points, the bad and also what other options could have been considered?  My guests for the conversation were Nana Adwoa Amponsah-Mensah, a Tech Attorney at 8 Geeks at Law and Derek B. Laryea, Digital Financial Services Expert and a Director, ADEF. Enjoy the show.
