Determinants of Corporate Bond Performance: Ghana in Comparative Perspective.

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article explores the factors influencing corporate bond performance in Ghana, benchmarking against peer emerging markets and advanced economies. Combining macroeconomic data, market indicators, and qualitative assessments from 2020 to 2024, the study identifies key drivers such as interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, governance structures, and investor confidence. Ghana's recent debt restructuring provides a real-world context to assess how macro and institutional fragility impact market outcomes. With comparative analysis and policy recommendations, this paper offers a timely and actionable guide for financial policymakers, investors, and scholars interested in strengthening emerging corporate bond markets. Colorful figures and charts enhance accessibility and interpretation.
