The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has refuted claims suggesting the introduction of a one percent cybersecurity levy on all banking transactions, dismissing them as baseless.
A report by Ghana Chronicles which has been circulated on social media alleges that the Central Bank intends to implement a one percent cybersecurity levy on banking transactions to counter rising cybersecurity risks both domestically and globally.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the BoG categorically denied these reports, labeling them as untrue.
Additionally, the Central Bank urged the public to disregard such unfounded claims.
