Bu Araştırma Raporu, 1990-2016 yılları arasındaki verileri kullanarak bankacılık sektörünün performans ve yeni ekonomi arasındaki ilişkiyi ve yeni ekonominin Gana bankacılık sektörünün başarısına katkısını analiz etmektedir. Çalışma ayrıca, Gana'da bankacılık sektörü ve yeni ekonomi ile ilgili kamuoyunun görüşünü almak için kullanılan bir araştırma çalışması anketini kullanmıştır. Anahtar zaman serileri ve ekonometrik model, Artırılmış Dickey-Fuller ADF testi, Johansen Cointegration testi, Granger nedensellik ve tanımlayıcı istatistikler idi. Elde edilen sonuçlar, uzun vadede bankacılık sektörü performansı ile yeni ekonomi arasındaki pozitif korelasyonun varlığını göstermekte ve ayrıca, bankacılık sektöründe iyi bir performans, ekonomik büyüme ve GSMH arttığını göstermektedir. Ancak, bankacılık sektörü ve yeni ekonomi arasında beklenen nedensel ilişki için nedensellik testi korelasyonu bir nedensel ilişki gösterdi. Araştırma, hükümet politikalarının Gana ve benzeri ülkelerin ekonomik büyümesini geliştirmeyi hedeflediğini, hiperenflasyon ya da yıl enflasyon oranını azaltmayı, para politikası oranını, özel sektör kredilerini bankalar ve bankalar dışı finans kuruluşlarına artırmayı hedeflediğini ve nihayet yabancı doğrudan yatırımı teşvik etmeyi önermektedir. Sonuç olarak, yeni ekonomi Gana'da mevcut bankacılık sektöründe neler olduğunu göstermiş ve önde gelen avantajlar sağlamıştır. Bankalar giderek en son teknoloji-Cure bankacılığı ile kendilerini donatmışlardır.

Abstract

Ghana’s banking sector is a critical component of its economy. However, there growing trend of banking sector blues which caught the attention of the public recently. It is largely due to the woefully performance of the economy over the last years. In view of this, the research paper analyzed the relationship between the banking sector’s performance and new economy and the contribution of the new economy to the success of Ghana’s banking industry using time series data spanning from 1990 to 2016. The key time series model adopted to achieve the set objectives were the Augmented Dickey-Fuller ADF Test, Johansen Cointegration Test, Granger Causality and Descriptive Statistics. The results shows presence of positive correlation between the banking sector’s performance and the new economy in the long run. The results also indicated that, a good performance in banking industry bolsters economic growth and GDP at large. However, causality test for the anticipated causal relationship between the banking sector and new economy proved to be correlated, thus, a causal relationship. The research recommends that, government policies aim at improving the banking industry should target reducing hyperinflation, stabilizing the monetary policy rate and increasing private sector credits to banks and non-banks financial institutions and finally encourage foreign direct investment. In conclusion, the new economy has leapfrogged the activities of banking industries in Ghana. Banks have gradually equipped themselves with high tech tools and state –of-art technologies except the rural banks.
