Debt Boosts Commercial Banks Performance in Ghana, Study Finds.
The study looked at how the way banks use money (capital structure) affects their performance in Ghana. They used data from listed banks between 2010-2015 and found that using more debt can help banks do better. Specifically, having more total debt is good for performance, while having more short-term debt or long-term debt is not as helpful. So, having a lot of debt can actually improve how well commercial banks do in Ghana.
