  • Analysis of Financial Performance and Liquidity Trends of Banks in Ghana
    Open Journal of Economics and Commerce Volume 2, Issue 3, 2019, PP 11-19 ISSN:2638-549X Analysis of Financial Performance and Liquidity Trends of Banks in Ghana Michael Ayikwei Quarshie1*, Reginald Djimatey2 Department of Entrepreneurship and Business Sciences, University of Energy and Natural Resources, Sunyani, Brongahafo Region, Ghana *Corresponding Author: Michael Ayikwei Quarshie, Department of Entrepreneurship and Business Sciences, University of Energy and Natural Resources, Sunyani, Brongahafo Region, Ghana, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to analyse financial performance and liquidity trendsof some selected banks in Ghana. A review of literature on financial performance and liquidity concerns was done due to the current challenges confronting these banks. The study then examined 180 corporate annual reports of these banks in Ghana during the periods 2006-2015. The trend analysis revealed that the banks were liquid throughout the study period except that these banks were less liquid at certain periods, particularly, in 2013 and 2014 which recorded average liquidity of 1.54 and 1.41 respectively. The banks financial performance during the periods was quite intermittent. The year 2006 recorded the lowest performance for these banks, representing 6.74% and 0.83% for ROE and ROA respectively whilst 2014 was highest point, registering a return on equity of 24.23% and a return on assets of 4.57%. The study recommends that efficient and effective liquidity management should be adopted by bank managers to ensure that banks operate profitably and do not become insolvent. Since, it has been established empirically that high levels of liquidity will guarantee better financial performance.

  • Banks' SORT CODES
    BANK OF GHANA ___ ________ _____________ _________________ ______________________ ______________________________ _____________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ Banks’ Sort Codes _____________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________ __________________________ ______________________ _______________ _________ ______ ___ AUGUST 2017 1. Introduction To facilitate the efficient clearing and settlement of interbank paper payment instruments throughout the country, cheques and other paper payment instruments were standardized to make them amenable to automated processing. The standardization included dividing the country into 11 clearing zones, with each zone having its clearing house; assigning a 6-digit unique sort code to each bank branch; and MICR-encoding paper payment instruments presented to the clearing house. A 6-digit unique sort code is also printed on all paper payment instruments. 2. Components of the sort code The sort code was developed to facilitate the clearing and settlement of interbank payment instructions according to the clearing zone within which the paying bank is located, as the case may be. The 6-digit sort codes are allocated based on pre-defined criteria to identify the bank, the clearing zone in which a bank branch is located and the branch number of the bank. Consider the sort code 01-02-03 - The first two digits (01) represent the bank’s code - The second two digits(02) represent the code of the clearing zone within which the branch of the bank is located - The last two digits (03) represent the branch’s code. On January 16, 2010 electronic clearing of cheques was introduced under the Cheque Codeline Clearing (CCC) with truncation system with nationwide coverage. All the clearing houses were collapsed and a new national clearing house was established.
