Parliament has passed the Creative Arts Industry bill on Thursday, 17 December 2020.
The bill, which incorporates the creative arts fund, is expected to ensure the economic viability of the creative arts sector within Ghana's economy.
The bill will also become the first legislative framework to guide the creative industry.
Speaking after the passage of the bill, the Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Babara Oteng Gyasi expressed confidence that President Akufo-Addo will assent to the bill in the coming days.
She also outlined opportunities the law will present to industry players in terms of employment and income.
