Abstract:
Farmers in Ghana plays a key role in increasing food supplies and a sector that contributes major to the country’s gross domestic, yet they tend to have little or no access to formal credit finance. The study seeks to examine financial barriers that limit farmer’s access to formal finance. The study utilized multiple regression model to validate the relationship between formal finance and financial barriers.The empirical results shows that statistically barrier factors positively affect farmer's access to formal finance (FF). It effects on formal finance is significant. Therefore, Ministry of Food and Agricultural and Ghana Cocoa board, stakeholders and other nonprofit organizations in Ghana, should discover and liaise with formal financial institutions to mount good packages to support famers in rural communities in Ghana irrespective of these barriers.

Abstract:
PurposeThis paper aims to examine how unlisted companies in Ghana finance their growth and to what extent do they rely on internal finance relative to external sources of finance. Additionally, the paper seeks to investigate the determinants of the capital structure of unlisted companies in Ghana.Design/methodology/approachThe paper uses the Singh‐Hamid methodology as well as panel data techniques to evaluate the financing decisions of unlisted companies in Ghana.FindingsThe analysis shows that unlisted firms in Ghana finance most of their growth from external debt and they are also characterized by shorter debt maturity. The results also show that the dominant factors affecting the debt equity ratios of unlisted firms in Ghana are size, firm growth, tangibility, profit margin, and financial development.Research limitations/implicationsOverall, the evidence in this paper suggests that standard models of corporate finance can be applicable to unlisted companies in Ghana.Practical implicationsInformative when planning for future development of the small business sector of the Ghanaian economy.Originality/valueProvides empirical evidence on how unlisted companies in Ghana finance their growth and what determines their capital structure.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of customer banking right awareness regarding banking products and services in Ghana. A survey of 569 bank customers was conducted in Metropolitan Assemblies in Ghana, using a structured questionnaire with Likert-type questions. Customers were conveniently intercepted as they walked out of universal banks. Ordered probit estimation technique was used to test the research hypotheses. The study revealed that whilst bank variables (duration and number of visits) improve customers’ knowledge on bank products and services, demographic factors (age, marriage, income) enhance the level of awareness customers have with regards to bank products and services. The study also revealed that education reduces it in Ghana. Sources of information such as banking exhibitions and fairs, family and mass media improve customer banking right awareness, however, bank staff negatively affect awareness level. The study advises banks to pay particular attention to sources of information, especially bank staff, bank brochures, mass media, exhibitions and fairs. Also, age and income segment of customers should be considered when attempting to improve customer banking right awareness for satisfactory service delivery.

Abstract:
Mortgage finance is one source of capital that cannot be ruled out when it comes to housing finance. It has globally aided many countries in terms of housing finance. A country’s housing finance system can work effectively if there is/are mortgage repayment plan(s) that would ensure flexibility in repayment of mortgage loans and encourage supply and demand for mortgage products. The study sought to find out the types and nature of mortgage repayment plans in Ghana. All the financial institutions which were into mortgage banking constituted the sample. The result shows that fixed rate method is the commonest method used in Ghana and other repayment plans have evolved from the fixed rate repayment plan. Exchange rate fluctuations, high interest rates and high house prices result in higher initial monthly mortgage repayment using the fixed rate repayment plan. It is recommended that mortgage lending institutions should reduce their interest rate for low middle income earners in Ghana to qualify for mortgage.

Abstract:
This study compares the use of external debt finance by male-and female-owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana to determine whether female-owned firms are less likely to use debt as a source of financing their operations. The results indicate that the capital structure of SMEs is influenced by the legal form, location, size, age and profitability of the firm and the educational background and gender of the entrepreneur. They also suggest that female-owned SMEs are significantly less likely to employ debt finance. The findings seem to support the notion that there is adverse discrimination in the lending process, placing women at a disadvantage. Females may not be able to penetrate informal networks as well as males, which clearly could affect their ability to gain access to useful information and sources of capital. Also, female-owned firms tend to be small sole-proprietorship businesses; thus, they may lack the necessary collateral to qualify them for debt finance. There is generally high conformity in the results of this study with similar studies in other parts of the world. Recommendations are given to help promote female-owned SMEs in Ghana.

Abstract:
Social capital and access to finance have been identified as key resources that influence the growth of small firms however, these variables have rarely been studied. This paper, therefore, examines the relationship between social capital and firm growth with access to finance as a moderating role. 250 small firms in the Kumasi Metropolis in Ghana were used for the study. Structural Equation Modelling using Partial Least Square (PLS) was used to analyze the data collected using area sampling. The results indicated that social capital does not directly influence firm growth. In addition, access to finance does not moderate the relationship between social capital and firm growth. However, a positive relationship was found between social capital and access to finance. Access to finance and firm growth, though significant, had a negative relationship. It is recommended that since social capital influences the capability to access finance, entrepreneurs should be encouraged to build more relationships within their networks. Moreover, government agencies and financial institutions should devise strategies that will reduce the interest rates so that though these small firms in Ghana can access finance, the high interest rates will not erode the gains they may achieve in the long run.

Abstract:
Analysts have foiled that concentration of portfolio weights affects portfolio risk. This is a unique feature in small markets whore they tend to be concentrated in few stocks and the Charm Sunk Exchange (GSE ) falls in that category. As a result portfolios based on the Ghana All Share index are highly concentrated. The risk in a portfolio is mainly attributed to Covariance and weighting structure. Enough cannot be done about the covariance structure but the weighting structure can be controlled since it depends mainly on investment choices. The weighting structure determines the degree of concentration of a portfolio. The term concentration refers to the extent to which portfolio weights skew away from equally weighted distribution of portfolio weights. As at September 2009, the Ghana All Share index has about five (5) of the total of thirty-five (3.5) in the index accounting for about 82.25% of the index weight. Concentration can be measured using the Herfindahl-Hirsclanan index (HHI) or Richard Roll measure (RRC). Diversification is (nmfirned with generation of returns from different sources. The iraditional method of measuring diversification has fallen short of vital, is usually expected hence the introduction of the new measure, portfolio diversification index or PDT.

Abstract:
This dissertation makes use of theoretical frameworks drawn from development theory, ecofeminism, climate science, environmental and distributive justice, and human rights to provide gender analysis of climate policy, including climate finance.The problem addressed is that climate impacts are exacerbating food insecurity that is women's responsibility in the global South. First, I use literature in climate science to detail the impacts of climate change on agriculture in Africa and show how this exacerbates women's poverty that is driven already by persistent socioeconomic inequalities and gender bias. I conclude that women as food producers are especially vulnerable to climate impacts on food security. Next, I assess international climate policy through gender analysis of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) against other United Nations (UN) gender policies, followed by gender assessment of Ghanaian climate policy. I conclude that both international and Ghanaian policy fail adequately to address gender and women's needs, despite making advances on gender-inclusion and gender-sensitivity since the turn of the century. I then present a case study in climate finance by evaluating the capacity of an Adaptation Fund Project (AFP) in northeast Ghana to meet women farmers' needs. I gather data from Project implementers and intended beneficiaries, i.e. women in village communities, using interviews and focus group discussions. I conclude that the Project is not successful in engaging women and identify reasons for this failure, including slow distribution of funds to implementers, petty corruption, and community gender biases. In the final chapter, I summarize my findings and make recommendations for policy interventions better to meet women's climate adaptation needs in order to maintain food security and avert the humanitarian crises in hunger that are already well underway in Africa.

Abstract:
This thesis provides a critical evaluation of the inter-relationship between finance and other key factors and SME development. However, the study places much emphasis on issues relating finance and SME development since studies have shown that financial constraint is the major factor affecting SME entrepreneurs in Ghana. Issues of finance and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries have dominated the research agenda at various policy levels. However, very little empirical analysis, that is, hypothesis testing, has been carried out to ascertain the relationship between finance and enterprise performance. Although a few studies have attempted to examine this relationship, there remain large gaps in our knowledge concerning the relationship between finance and SME development. This thesis aims to fill these gaps in our knowledge. The objective of the study is to provide a better understanding of the relationship between finance and other key factors such as exports, education, inter-fiem linkages and small and medium enterprise development in Ghana. It will conduct hypothesis testing on key relationships on the financial structure of small and medium enterprises in Ghana and also ascertain how firms differ in their demand for internal and external sources of finance. The study will also investigate the determinants of growth and SME entrepreneur's access to finance. The analysis is based on firm level data gathered in 1999 from 208 small and medium enterprises located within a 50 Kilometre geographical radius of five principal cities in Ghana. The Study employed a combination of analytical techniques, namely, tile 'Basic Detailed Characteristics' approach and regression analysis (Two Stage Least Squares and Logistic Regression Analysis). This allowed for an exhaustive analysis of the SME sector and its potential for income, employment, and economic growth. The empirical issues revealed by the analysis were: First, results from the regression equation on the determininants of firm growth confirmed the principal hypothesis of the thesis, that is, access to finance exerts a significantly positive effect on growth. This indicates the need to improve the availability of credit to SMEs to enable*the sector realise its potential. Another major finding is, increases in firm size exert a negative and statistically significant effect on growth (when defined as growth in sales). However, when growth is defined as value added, increases in firm size have a positive and statistically significant effect on growth. This has very useful implications for policy, that is, support programmes should be equally targeted towards small and medium enterprises. Another major finding is, exporting firms perform better than non-exporting firms. This re-emphasizes the need for policies to support upgrading of SME products to meet acceptable standards and compete internationally. Higher levels of education of SME entrepreneurs also exert a statistically significant effect on growth. There is therefore the need to educate entrepreneurs especially on production techniques and managerial abilities. The second regression equation investigated the determinants of access to finance and found that frill size exerts a significantly positive effect on access to finance. This implies small firms are often marginalized in the allocation of credit, hence there is the need to target more credit to the small-scale sector. Secondly, older firms tend to have better access to finance than newly established firms. An export equation was also estimated and very interesting findings were revealed. First, foreign owned firms are more likely to export than locally owned enterprises. Educated entrepreneurs are more likely to export than tile less educated ones. Also, males are more likely export than their female counterparts. Finally, medium-sized firms are more likely to export than small-scale enterprises.

Abstract:
Ghanaian microfinance banks (MFB) experience a high collapse rate, with more than 100 MFBs failing between 2015 and 2016. Grounded on Porter's competitive strategy theory, the purpose of this case study was to explore successful strategies used by selected participants to achieve business sustainability. Fourteen participants from 6 successful MFBs in the Greater Accra Region, including managers and MFB owners with more than 5 years of professional and industry experience, participated in semistructured interviews. Observations and company documents served as a secondary source of data collection. Through thematic analysis, 5 themes emerged: cash and liquidity management, capacity building, monitoring, compliance, and corporate governance. MFB owners and leaders will benefit from the findings of the study by gaining insights on how to implement strategies, which lead to business sustainability. Implications for positive social change include the potential for an improved standard of living through the financial resources provided by MFBs to entrepreneurs for business startups, which could lead to reducing unemployment and poverty within the working class population of Ghana.

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Microinsurance services have been operating in Ghana for the last decade, but the question whether they have enhanced the welfare of low-income households, mostly in the informal sector, is largely unresearched. In particular the study asks: does microinsurance improve the welfare of households through asset retention, consumption smoothing and inequality reduction? This question has been examined through the use of the 2010 FINSCOPE survey which contains in-depth information on 3 642 households across the rural and urban settings of the country. In order to control for selection bias and endogeneity bias, Heckman sample selection, instrumental variable and treatment effect models were employed for the evaluation. The results of the assessment have been compiled into four empirical essays. The first essay investigates the impact of microinsurance on household asset accumulation. The findings show that microinsurance has a positive welfare impact in terms of household asset accumulation. This suggests that microinsurance prevents asset pawning and liquidation of essential household assets at ‘give away’ prices. By absorbing the risk of low-income households, insurance equips them to cope effectively with risk, empowers them to escape poverty and sustains the welfare gains achieved. The second essay examines the impact of microinsurance on consumption smoothing. It delves into the capacity of microinsurance to enable households to avoid costly risk-coping methods which are detrimental to health and well-being. The results reveal that insured households are less likely to reduce the daily intake of meals, which is an indication that microinsurance is a better option for managing consumption smoothing among low-income households. The third essay investigates the effect of microinsurance on households’ asset inequality. The findings indicate that the asset inequality of insured households is less than that of uninsured households. Insured female-headed households have much lower asset inequality than male-headed households, but uninsured female-headed households are worse off than both uninsured and insured male-headed households. The regional trend reveals that developmental gaps impede the capacity of microinsurance to bridge the asset inequality gap. The fourth essay asks: Does microcredit improve the well-being of low-income households in the absence of microinsurance? The findings show a weak influence of microcredit on household welfare. However households using microcredit in combination with microinsurance derive significant gains in terms of welfare improvement. Microcredit may be good, but its real benefits to the poor is best realised if the poverty trapping risks are covered with microinsurance. To this extent, combining microcredit with microinsurance will empower the poor to make a sustainable exit from poverty. The findings of this thesis have pertinent policy implications for the government, the development community and stakeholders in the insurance industry. Microinsurance is a good instrument for improving the welfare of households and thus this research recommends its integration into the poverty reduction strategy of Ghana and a greater insurance inclusion for the lower end of the market.

Anim-Odame, Wilfred Kwabena. "Residential real estate investment in emerging economies : the case of Ghana." Thesis, City University London, 2008. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/8601/.

Full text
Abstract:
Although it remains small compared with advanced economies, in Ghana there is a growing residential stock which constitutes the basis of an emergent real estate investment market. Much of the recently constructed stock is income-producing rented accommodation, and falls in the formal sector of the market - where sale and leasing transactions are systematically documented in the records of the Ghana Land Valuation Board. The research presented in this thesis makes several contributions to knowledge and understanding of residential real estate markets in Ghana. First, and most fundamentally, it demonstrates that it is feasible to construct technically robust indicators of residential market performance from the records held by state agencies, through the construction of hedonic models which suggest processes of price determination are consistent with those found in other countries. Time series produced from these models, running from 1992 to 2007, document for the first time trends in capital values, rental values and investment returns for a substantial part of the Ghanaian residential market. This thesis also explores practical applications of the newly created residential performance indices. The current research examines the differentials in price determination and performance across the main submarkets of the Accra-Tema conurbation, the dynamics of change in market prices over time against economic and financial indicators, and the returns achieved on residential investment compared with Ghanaian equities and Treasury Bills. The results demonstrate that the residential market has seen strong rental and capital appreciation over the past fifteen years, yielding investment returns ahead of the high rate of general inflation. Compared with other Ghanaian asset classes, residential real estate shows both a rate of return and a level of risk which sit between those on fixed income and equities investments, in line with fundamental theory and experience in other countries. As in other countries, residential real estate returns show low correlations with those on equity and fixed income investments, suggesting a strong case for real estate in a multi-asset portfolio. Beyond the Ghanaian market, this thesis suggests the process of constructing residential indices from records held by state land registration and taxation authority may be replicable in other African countries where there are similar systems of land administration and management, provided that the task of data assembly and validation is feasible.

Abstract:
Firms playa pivotal role in every economy. Therefore their financial standing should be of great concern to policy-makers, as this may directly affect the overall performance of the economy. Corporate finance literature however suggests that market imperfections resulting from conflicts of interest and informational asymmetries, between different economic agents, limit firms in their ability to finance investment projects. Yet, the extent to which firms are limited depends greatly on their size, ownership, exporting status, risk level and even location. In fact, many studies believe that unless by some policy directives pertaining to a particular country, foreign, exporting, large, less risky and firms in developed regions will under normal circumstances be less financially constrained than their counterparts, domestic, non-exporting, small, more risky and firms in undeveloped regions respectively. For domestic firms, some evidence exists that their financial constraints can be alleviated by the entrance of foreign firms. In this thesis, we try and incorporate as many of these determinants as possible bearing in mind data availability. As a result, in the first part of this study, we address the issue of financial constraints of foreign and domestic firms as well as crowding out effects of domestic firms in Ghana. To the best of our knowledge, no study has attempted to address this particular issue on Ghana. We then move a step higher in the second part of our study by considering this same topic in China but then looking at it using firms with different degrees of foreign ownership. Not only do we do this, but we also carry out regional analysis in this respect. All these are made possible by the quality of dataset that we use in our analyses. Again, to the best of our knowledge, no study has addressed this issue on China in this manner. In the last part of our study, we take a different tum altogether and examine mainly the sensitivities of both long-term debt and short-term debt to cash flow and collateral respectively for globally-engaged firms (foreign-owned and exporting firms) as well as firms in the coastal and non-coastal regions of China. We find very interesting results from these analyses. With regards to evidence on firm financial constraints in Ghana, we find that domestic firms are more financially constrained than foreign firms and that foreign firms' presence has no impact on domestic firms in Ghana. For the results on China, while we find no difference between the financial constraints of purely domestic firms and joint ventures, we find that wholly-foreign owned firms are less financially constrained than purely domestic firms. We however find that the presence of foreign firms help alleviate purely domestic firms from their financial constraints. For the regional analysis, estimates based on this suggest firms in the coastal region are less financially constrained than firms in the non-coastal region. Regarding the sensitivities of both short-term debt and long-term debt to cash flow and collateral, whilst we find that highly globally engaged firms have a higher sensitivity of long-term debt to cash flow than non-globally engaged firms, we find that globally engaged firms' short-term debt have a lower sensitivity to collateral than non-globally engaged firms. As for the regional analysis, our result show that both the short-term debt and long-term debts of firms in the coastal region have a higher sensitivity to collateral and cash flow respectively than the sensitivities of short-term debt and long-term debt to cash flow and collateral of firms in the non-coastal region.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to study customer order flow and its impact on a small open emerging economy in Sub-Saharan Africa. Customer order flow, as a key concept in the microstructure approach to exchange rate, deals with signed transaction volumes between market-makers and their customers. The study specifically attempts to explore what the data tells us about the role of customer order flow in the market for local currency (Ghanaian CEDI) using the standard analytical framework of FX microstructure literature. The study also examines short-run exchange rate dynamics in an emerging market based on the recent microstructure framework of foreign exchange markets where the main explanatory variable is the order flow. First, the study modifies the model to take account of a unique feature of the majority of emerging markets, namely the existence of a parallel market for FX. Secondly, it uses a unique proprietary database covering almost the complete Ghanaian market, and for a long time span compared to previous studies, which uses data for a single market-maker and for a short period of time. The study confirms contemporaneous relationship (between flows and exchange rate) suggested by previous literature (Evans and Lyons 2002a) but we also observe a lagged interaction between order flow and exchange rates. These lagged effects are due to the delays in the price transmission which are associated with inefficiencies. Additionally, the study confirms the connection between the price impact of the order flow and the degree of liquidity in the FX market. Furthermore, our findings corroborate the fact that in Ghana, banks provide liquidity to their customers in the short-run whiles the central bank acts a liquidity provider in the long-run. Finally, our results confirm that there exists a strong relationship between order flow, commodity prices and macroeconomic fundamentals in an emerging economy.

Abstract:
Public expenditure control is vital in countries because it is a key instrument for ensuring effective government strategic planning and policy priorities. In many countries, public expenditure control has been inadequately implemented because of weak accounting systems, a weak cash management system and a weak flow of information, among others, despite public finance management reforms implemented in developing countries. Public expenditure management has been a concern in Ghana's public service because of weak budget formulation, weak monitoring and evaluation, and an ineffective flow of information between the ministry of finance (MOF) and the key public institutions. The Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) has been introduced in Ghana's public service but it has been faced with challenges after the initial stage of implementation of the reforms. This study sought to examine why public finance management reforms appears to have failed to control public expenditure in Ghana, by investigating the ministry of finance's (MOF) role in implementing the MTEF. The study employs a qualitative method using interviews with officials from the MOF to examine the role of the MOF in implementing the MTEF. The key themes that the researcher sought to test through the research as potential factors behind poor expenditure control included the coordination amongst other government institutions, weak planning and forecasting, monitoring and evaluation capacity, information management systems and cash management systems, the political environment and the commitment control. The findings revealed that, despite the importance of political environment and the commitment control, planning and forecasting, the monitoring and evaluation capacity, information management system and the cash management and the coordination management government institutions in implementing the MTEF by the MOF, the new public management framework is not well implemented as it should be. The findings also revealed that in implementing the MTEF by the MOF, coordination among other government institutions such as the MOF and the NDPC has been improved and overcoming the shortcoming of implementing the public finance management reform in Ghana.

Abstract:
In Ghana the stop-start dynamics of Basel implementation reflects party politics. Moves to implement Basel and other international standards have coincided with periods when the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been in office. The NPP has a vision for positioning Ghana as a financial services hub for West Africa and strong ideological and material connections to international finance. In 2017 the NPP government embarked on a radical reform of the banking sector, implementing major elements of Basel II and III and catapulting Ghana to among the most ambitious implementers of Basel standards among our case study countries. In contrast, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) focused on directing finance to the productive sectors of the economy and supporting indigenous banks, and the implementation of international standards was not a policy priority during their periods in office.

Abstract:
Abstract The study sought to assess Investment in Ghana Upstream Sector, looking at the risk involved in the loss of Investment and the returns from the investment. The specific objectives were: to establish the level of investment in the oil and gas projects that are producing in commercial volumes in the Upstream sector of Ghana, to assess the revenues realized by Ghana and the IOCs from the sale of oil and gas since the start of commercial production in the year 2010. The researchers noticed that investors in the upstream sector face risk such as: price volatility risk, political risk, investment risk, and many other risks that affect the upstream operations. For the purposes of this study, risk is limited to investment risk. Thus, the researchers are looking at the level of investment in the upstream sector and whether the investment has any relation with the returns or revenues. A purposeful sampling technique was used to select the three commercial producing fields in Ghana for the Study. These are the Jubilee field, the TEN field, and the SGN field. Secondary data including oil and gas production volumes was taken from the annual reports of PIAC. Other secondary data was taken from Petroleum Commission, and Ministry of Finance. The results of the study showed that a total of about 8.8 billion US dollars was invested in the Jubilee field. About 4.998 billion US dollars and 5.2 billion US dollars was invested in TEN and SGN fields respectively. This means a total of about 19 billion US dollars was invested in the exploration and development of the three producing fields in Ghana. The results also indicated that despite all the risk in the upstream sector, about 22.69 billion US dollars revenues has been realized by the IOCs from the sale of oil and gas since the commencement of production in the year 2010. The results also showed that Ghana group realized about 4.98 billion US dollars from the revenues of oil and gas over the same period.

Abstract:
Abstract This study aims to contribute to industry discussion on gas utilization opportunities available to Ghana. Specifically, it will analyze Ghana's existing natural gas plans. i.e., the Gas Master Plan analyze possible opportunities and associated challenges and finally propose sources of finance for gas sector projects. In order to discover opportunities of natural gas utilization as well as challenges that come in the course of implementation, data was sourced from secondary sources as well. Benchmarking was also done using the natural gas journeys of three (3) case study countries: Nigeria, China, and the United Kingdom and a comparative analysis compared their natural gas journeys in terms of policy direction, natural gas utilization, infrastructure development and challenges encountered vis a vis the natural gas journey of Ghana. The analysis showed that various opportunities existed for natural gas utilization in the areas of industrial power generation, LNG export, CNG, Fertilizer and bauxite production. Various challenges such as lack of human and technical capacity, sector debt, regulatory issues, pricing issues, security of supply and others plagued most natural gas economies. These findings suggest that an ‘armory’ of opportunities exist for natural gas utilization in Ghana. However, the implementation of these utilization options is contingent on the development of proper policy instruments and extensive investment in infrastructure. The country should also be conscious of bottlenecks that may hinder natural gas utilization efforts.
