Title A name given to the resource An Econometric View on the Effect of Bank of Ghana’s Policy Rate on Financial Risks and Performance of Listed Banks on the Ghana Stock Exchange. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kojo Gyasi Dadsi Description An account of the resource The study used the Ordinary Least Square Method (OLS) and Pearson Correlation to determine the relationship between the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) and banks financial performance in Ghana. The study also used same method to establish the effect of the MPR on financial risk and some key macroeconomic indicators. The samples banks constituted banks listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) with data extracted from the Bank of Ghana’s website, Ghana Statistical Services (GSS) and annual reports of the banks from the period 2005 – 2016. The findings revealed that MPR has a significant negative influence on ROE, ROA, BATO, DY and NPM which signifies that high policy rate distorts the performance of banks in Ghana hence the need to keep the rate down. MPR was also found to have a strong correlation and significant relationship with credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. MPR was found to have a negative relationship with GDP Growth. Though this relationship was not significant, the correlation results revealed a moderately strong relation of -0.5. In conclusion, the negative influence of MPR on banks performance and its high effect on financial risk is can be considered as one of the major components affecting the overall performance of the economy. As banks play an important role in economic growth, it is recommended that the BoG must be more strategic and circumspective in taking their numerous monetary decisions.

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 The Role of Alternative Funding Sources in Health Care Financing: A Case Study of Ghana’s National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Golda Shamiria Meir Asmah Description An account of the resource Health care Financing has become a major concern for many countries because it ensures that the health care needs of all citizens of a country are catered for during times of ill health. Since the inception of the NHIS, there has been a progressive widening of its funding gap mainly due to inadequate funding sources, which is threatening the sustainability of the scheme. This motivated the study to be conducted to establish the role of Alternative Funding sources in Health Care Financing, using Ghana’s NHIS as a case study. A mixture of qualitative and quantitative approaches was adopted to address the research objectives. Both primary and secondary data were used for data collection. Purposive and convenience sampling techniques were used for the study to administer questionnaires to a sample of eighty (80) staff of the operations division of the NHIA out of a population of hundred (100) staff. Regression and correlation analysis were performed based on secondary data from NHIS. The results of the study revealed various sustainable alternative funding sources that could bridge the funding gap and enhance the health system of Ghana. The study also found that, a positive relationship exists between the membership subscription and income growth. It recorded a regression coefficient of 0.97 and a sig. value of 0.001. Further, measures to control the rising expenditure were found. Notwithstanding, some challenges could be faced in the long term as a result of the measures. From the study, it is recommended that government with the aid of parliament, Labor Union heads and stakeholders modify the health financing system of Ghana. Also, NHIA’s Management should review income from premium payment upwards and revise the exemption list of the scheme. Also a gradual implementation of co-payment forms should be introduced by management of NHIS to reduce the funding gap.

Title A name given to the resource An assessment of the effect of liquidity risk, credit risk and capital risk on the financial performance of five selected banks in Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Nana Amma S.S. Marfo Description An account of the resource This study is conducted to assess the effect of financial risk on profitability of five commercial banks listed at the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). Profitability was proxied by ROA and served as the dependent variable in the research model. Capital risks proxied by total capital to risk weighted assets, Liquidity risk measured by current ratio, and Credit risk proxied by nonperforming loan to total loans were adopted as indicators of financial risk. They also served as the independent variables in the study while bank size which is a control variable was measured using natural log of total assets (Ln Assets). Secondary data obtained from the financial statements and annual reports of the chosen banks were the predominant source of data for the analysis. The data covered a five year period (2012-2016). Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis were respectively performed on the obtained data. The Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) software was used for the data analysis. The study found from the correlation analysis that a negative but statistically significant linear association exists between profitability and bank size (r=-.014, p=0.024); profitability and capital risk (r=-0.038, p=0.011); and profitability and credit risk (r=-0.124, p=0.013). The relationship between liquidity risk and profitability was positive and statistically significant as shown by an r and p values of 0.037 and 0.021 respectively. This implies that the banks were able to manage this risk in such a way that it tends out to positively affect their profitability. The correlation results were further supported by the regression coefficient results which recorded a negative relationship between profitability and capital risk, credit risk and bank size. The relationship between profitability and liquidity risk is however positive. The result further revealed a significant effect of all the independent variables on profitability.

Title A name given to the resource Assessment of the Effect of Corporate Social Responsibility on Financial Perfomance of the Mining Firms in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lilian Donkor Mfum Description An account of the resource The recent years have witnessed an increasing scholarly focus on the phenomenon of Corporate Social Responsibility. The pressure from civil societies, governments, and the rise of corporate citizenship have compelled firms to engage in CSR. Previous research demonstrates mixed findings in terms of the association between CSR and firm performance. This study builds on existing research by examining the effect of CSR on financial performance in the context of mining companies in Ghana. The study also explored the nature of CSR activities of firms and the relative effect of various types of CSR on firm performance. The study adopted a quantitative research approach. Both primary and secondary data in the study was collected using questionnaires and also from annual reports of studied companies respectively. Respondents in the study were selected using a purposive sampling strategy. The secondary data collected was a panel data that span the period of 2015-2019. Employing mean scores as data analytical technique, the study finds that the CSR activities of mining companies largely comprise conformity to production’s quality and assurance, steps to deal with all manner of judgments,staff involvement in prominent matters, geared towards employees health and safety, donation to humanitarian activities, and active involvement in projects that benefit local communities. Moreover, using regression as data analytical technique, the results of the study reveals that CSR is related to firms profitability in a positive way after controlling for firm size and growth rates. Findings of the study further point to a greater impact of external CSR on company profitability relative to the effect of internal CSR. From a policy perspective, the study recommends among others that mining firms should prioritize CSR and also focus more on external CSR including donations to charity and policies that enhance welfare of the communities they operate. The study culminates by suggesting future research paths.
