Investment holders protest to demand payment of locked-up funds

Members of the Locked-up Investment Holders Forum (LIHF), on Wednesday, March 27, embarked on a protest against the Bank of Ghana (BoG) over their locked-up funds.

The protest started near the NDK Finance office close to the Accra Sports Stadium but had to halt at the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum due to the central bank’s premises being a security zone.

Dr. Adu Anane Antwi, the group’s convener, urged the central bank to take over the distressed financial institutions and pay customers their locked-up investments.

“We have proposed two methods or approaches, either you give the institutions money or give them support to cover about 20 percent of locked-up funds. We are prepared to convert the rest into bonds or equity in these organizations,” Dr Antwi said.

Meanwhile, some selected members of the group will later meet with the central bank and the Finance Ministry to reiterate the content of their petition submitted last year November.

The group began engaging with the central bank a year ago to help them redeem their investments from the Financial Houses and Savings and Loans companies.

The protest is expected to continue every two weeks until their demands are met.

南韓影集《魷魚遊戲》爆紅。(法新社) 2021/10/10 00:31〔編譯管淑平/綜合報導〕南韓影集《魷魚遊戲》在全球竄紅,提升南韓的文化輸出實力。「自由亞洲電台」8日指出,不斷強調文化自信的中國,卻少有走向世界的文化作品,中韓文化輸出的差距在中國微博引起討論,有網友認為,一個主要因素是意識形態標籤阻礙發展。自由亞洲電台引述南韓建國大學文化內容產業系的中國籍教授李冬蓓的看法,雖然《魷魚遊戲》劇情非常南韓化、反映南韓的社會秩序,但是卻十分具有普遍性,同樣的情況,在全世界任何國家、地區都可能發生,「可以令人感同身受」是這部戲劇最大的特徵,很容易引發共鳴,因此跨國文化壁壘較低。 報導說,中國不斷強調文化自信,但是近幾十年卻少有走向世界的文化作品,這種中韓文化輸出的差距,在微博上引起討論,有網友認為,中國這種文化輸出窘境的一個重要原因,在於中國娛樂圈缺乏創新人才,也有人認為,中國文化的意識形態標籤,是阻礙發展的主要因素。李冬蓓也指出,中國的故事大部分是在相同社會體制下、接受過相同教育、同樣背景下生活過的人才能力,「文化壁壘其實是比較高的。」報導指出,從獲得美國奧斯卡多項大獎的南韓電影《寄生上流》、偶像團體「防彈少年團」(BTS)、BLACKPINK,到《魷魚遊戲》,「韓流」文化似乎已經衝出亞洲、走向世界,成為繼日本動漫遊戲之後,又一個亞洲文化輸出典範,甚至有分析認為,南韓娛樂製作公司「具備足以支配全球娛樂產業的好萊塢式生產能力。」 不用抽 不用搶 現在用APP看新聞 保證天天中獎  點我下載APP  按我看活動辦法
