Title A name given to the resource The Impact of Interest Rate Risk on the Profitability of Banks in Ghana Case Study of CAL Bank Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Abdoulaye Diallo Description An account of the resource This study aimed to examine the impact of interest rate risk on the profitability of Banks in Ghana. The specific objectives of this were to assess the interest rate risk management practices of CAL Bank, to examine the relationship between the interest rate and the profitability and to examine the factors that influence the interest rate of CAL Bank. This study used the quantitative method and forty-eight (48) responses out of fifty-five (55) were collected from the primary data which was the questionnaire and another data were collected from the secondary data which was the annual report of CAL Bank from 2013-2017. Microsoft Excel 2016 and Statistical Practice for Social and Science (SPSS) V.23 were used to analyse the findings. The results revealed that CAL Bank had an interest rate risk management system which was set by the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) and used by the Risk Manager to monitor and controls the risk related to their interest rate in their day-to-day operations. Moreover, there was a positive relationship between the interest rate and the profitability and finally, the results concluded that the interest rate of other banks was the key factor that influenced CAL Bank’s interest rate. The study recommended that the (ALCO) and the Risk Managers should meet monthly instead of annually, since the interest rate risk management system is monitored and controlled by the risk manager in their day-to day operations and the profit made by the bank was related to its interest rate. Finally, the study outlined a topic for further researches which was based on “the examination of the credit risk management on the profitability of CAL Bank” in order to make more profit by minimizing the risk involved and to reduce the non-performing loans.

Title A name given to the resource Determinants of Profitability of Listed Manufacturing Firms in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Abdul – Malik Abubakari Description An account of the resource Due to the direct impact of manufacturing firms’ performance to economic stability, there is the need for special attention to examine factors that affect the manufacturing firms’ profitability (Akbas & Karadinan 2012). According to Opondo (2004), most studies has examined the determinants of profitability of firms considering variables such as capital structure, cash liquidity, firm size, and financial leverage in other countries but however, much has not been done in the Ghanaian context. This study assesses the determinant of financial performance of listed manufacturing firms in Ghana. The study used quantitative research approach and explanatory research design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select eight manufacturing companies out of the total population of thirteen listed manufacturing firms. The study used only secondary source of data (audited financial statements) for five year period, from 2011 to 2015. Also, correlation analysis was used to assess the collinearity between the dependent variables thus Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Asset (ROA) and the independent variables such as financial leverage, cash liquidity, firm size, inflation and exchange rate, while the regression analysis indicates the effect of the independent variables on the dependent variables. The result highlighted a negative significant relationship between financial leverage and ROE and ROA. Also, cash liquidity recorded established a positive insignificant relationship of ROE and ROA. Firm size establishes a positive significant relationship of ROE and ROA, inflation establish a significant negative relationship of ROE and ROA and also, exchange rate volatility establish a significant negative relationship of ROE and ROA.

Title A name given to the resource Effects of Digital Banking Services on Customer Satisfaction-Case Study Ecobank Ghana Limited. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Afua Akomah Bamfo Description An account of the resource Customer satisfaction has become the cornerstone of all banking services. The adoption of technology, technological enhancements and inclusion, facilitation of customer experiences and satisfaction through the provision of digital banking services is seen as one of the key strategies to provide bespoke services to customers. The aim of this research was to assess the effects of digital/electronic banking services and products on customer satisfaction in Ghana using Ecobank Ghana Limited as a case study. Quantitative data was collected through a survey from a sample of 200 respondents and analyzed quantitatively. Findings indicated that digital banking products/services are internet banking, mobile banking and ATM products and services. Respondents indicated that they most often use a combination of traditional and digital banking although the findings also indicated that the use of electronic banking services are on the high. ATM (β = 0.310) systems were found to be a very good predictor of customer satisfaction, which was statistically significant (p=.000). This indicates that any increase in ATM products and services there is a 31% increase in customer satisfaction. Internet banking reveled the highest correlation with customer service followed by security which had coefficients of 0.799 and 0.713 respectively. Also, mobile banking revealed the strongest relationship with security at 0.668 whiles ATM Debit/Credit cards had the correlation with customer service 0.697. these indicate positive effects of electronic banking products and services on customer satisfaction. The findings of the study make it clear that that digital banking leads to customer satisfaction. This is quiet outstanding as the digital industry seems to still be in its growth stage. The findings basically provide evidence that with continuous growth and investments banks can have more satisfied customers and also, banks can reduce operational costs through automation of tasks as indicated by some earlier researchers. Future research could adopt a more qualitative or mixed methods approach to gain in- depth understanding of the issues raised as well as to further clarify some of the situations observed within the study.

Title A name given to the resource The Impact of Mobile Money Services on the Activities of SMES in Ghana (A Case of the La- Nkwantanang Madina Municipality) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Akua Adjeiwah Boakye Description An account of the resource The influx of mobile money has improved financial inclusion significantly in Ghana. With the simplicity of the technology, more people, especially illiterate and uneducated, are comfortable with its use than banks. Among the users of the Mobile Money Technology are owners of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs). This study was specifically conducted to assess the impact mobile money services have had on the activities of SMEs in Ghana using the La-Nkwantanang Madina Municipality, a large business hub in Ghana, as a case study. For this study, the primary data collection tool used was the structured questionnaire. A case study research design was adopted since it would be of better assistance in involving nearly all the key stakeholders in order to ascertain how impactful Mobile Money is on the business dealings of SMEs in the municipality. The findings indicate that there was 92% usage of the service among the respondents interviewed, a strong indication of the high penetration level of the technology in Ghana, with MTN Mobile Money being the leading service provider. The study concludes that, the convenience of the service, its usefulness and the transaction costs associated with its use have all in some way had a positive impact on the growth of SMEs with respect to their sales and customer base even though most of these SMEs have not paid particular attention to the impact of mobile money services on their business. The study therefore recommends that further research should be conducted to determine the specific impact the service has on SMEs in Ghana.

Title A name given to the resource Analysis of the Performance of Foreign Banks and Domestic Banks in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alethea Reynolds Description An account of the resource The main aim of this project is to evaluate and compare the financial performance of both foreign banks and domestic banks in Ghana. It does this by using the financial statements of twenty-two (22) banks in Ghana for the period (2012-2016), employing the CAMEL analysis. It uses descriptive statistics and t-statistics for the analysis. From the result, foreign banks depend less on debt when funding their operation compared to domestic banks in Ghana. The average equity to asset ratio (capital adequacy) of foreign banks is higher than domestic banks since the bank of Ghana sets high capital requirements for foreign banks than domestic banks. In terms of asset quality, the study found that domestic banks are able to recover most of their loan portfolios than foreign banks. The study found that on the average, foreign banks have higher non-performing loans than domestic banks. The results indicate that foreign banks incur more costs or pay their managers more than domestic banks. In general, foreign banks are more liquid than domestic banks. To conclude, the study found no significant difference between the average performance (profitability) of foreign banks and the average performance (profitability) domestic banks. The study recommends that domestic banks should employ effective policies that impacts positively on the overall capital adequacy ratios, asset quality, management efficiency, profitability and liquidity risk. Management of banks must review their statement and analyze periodically their performance to know the extent to which debt components are being used to finance operations compared to equity; hence managers should know how and to what extent debt and credit risk influence their performance.

Title A name given to the resource Evaluating the Impact of Venture Capital Fund on The Performance of Manufacturing Companies in Ghana; a Case Study of Beneficiaries Firms. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ama Hughes-Lartey Description An account of the resource The study examines the impact of Venture Capital Fund on the Performance of Manufacturing Companies in Ghana, with focus on beneficiary companies of Venture capital. Venture capital is generally considered as one of the business development funding options that allows for some flexibility and longevity of funds and for businesses to realise their full potentials of survival, profitability and growth. The Venture Capital Trust Fund Act, 2004 (Act 680) was established as a trust fund to provide financial resources for the development and promotion of venture capital financing for SME’s in priority sectors of the economy. The study focused on manufacturing companies who have benefited from the Venture Capital Fund, as well as Ghana Venture Capital Trust Fund, these beneficiary companies include J&Q Industries, EKA Processing, Vestor Oil Mills, Natural Scientific and Asarco Foods. In addition, the explanatory survey design will be used. This is due to the fact that the explanatory survey provides accurate portrayal of the characteristics, for instance opinions, abilities, belief and knowledge of a particular organization. This design was purposely chosen to meet the objectives of the study.It was found out that it was not easy to come by a soft loan from a bank to start a business or continue existing ones. It was against this background that this study was necessary to assess the prospects and essence of venture capital finance in Ghana and to develop recommendations on how the prospects could be sustained and improved. The VC firms must also build close links with universities and research institutions to identify opportunities for technology-based new ventures. Universities and research institutions are valuable sources of new technologies that can be used to realize the business opportunities identified in discussions with large corporations and other potential customers.
