A World Bank Mission visited Ghana early in 2012 to assess the legal and practical feasibility of participation in PPPs at the sub-national level of the Government and the possibility that private commercial banks can provide non-sovereign financing to such PPPs. This report will present a summary of the available information on local governments and financial markets in Ghana, and identify potential infrastructure investments that could later be supported directly or indirectly by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) sub-national window, such as with bank guarantees, non sovereign loans, equity or other means. This report also discusses the legal framework for financial operations of SOEs.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO FINANCIAL SERVICESACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGADVISORY SERVICESAFFORDABILITYAPPROVAL PROCESSARBITRATIONARREARSAUDITSBANK ACCOUNTSBANK GUARANTEESBANK LENDERSBANKING INSTITUTIONSBANKING SECTORBANKING SERVICESBANKING SYSTEMBIDBIDSBONDSBORROWINGBORROWING CAPACITYBUDGETINGBUSINESS OPPORTUNITIESCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL ADEQUACYCAPITAL MARKETSCAPITAL REQUIREMENTCASH FLOWCOLLATERALCOMMERCIAL LAWCOMMERCIAL LOANSCONSULTING SERVICESCORPORATE INVESTMENTCREDIT BUREAUSCREDIT ENHANCEMENTCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT RATINGSCREDIT RISKCREDITORCREDITOR RIGHTSCREDITWORTHINESSDEBTDEBT INVESTMENTSDEBTORSDECENTRALIZATIONDEMAND FOR CREDITDEPOSITDEPOSIT MOBILIZATIONDEPOSITSDEVELOPMENT BANKDEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONDEVOLUTIONDISBURSEMENTDISBURSEMENTSDOMESTIC ARREARSDOMESTIC DEBTDUE DILIGENCEECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHEMPLOYMENTENTREPRENEUREQUITY PARTICIPATIONESCROWEXCHANGE RATEEXPENDITUREEXPLOITATIONEXPORT GROWTHFINANCIAL ANALYSISFINANCIAL ASSISTANCEFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL OBLIGATIONSFINANCIAL REFORMSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SERVICESFINANCIAL STABILITYFINANCIAL STRUCTUREFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFISCAL POLICYFIXED ANNUITIESFIXED RATEFOREIGN BANKFOREIGN BANKSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTORSFOREIGN LOANFOREIGN LOANSGOVERNMENT BONDSGOVERNMENT DEBTGOVERNMENT POLICYGOVERNMENT REVENUESHOUSINGHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESIMMOVABLE PROPERTYIMPLICIT GOVERNMENT GUARANTEESINFLATIONINFLATION RATESINFRASTRUCTURE FINANCEINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTSINSTALLMENTSINSTRUMENTINTEREST INCOMEINTEREST RATEINTEREST RATESINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINTERNATIONAL MARKETSINVENTORYINVESTMENT BANKINGINVESTMENT FINANCEINVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIESINVESTMENT PLANINVESTMENT POLICYINVESTMENT PROJECTSINVESTMENT PROPOSALSISSUANCELACK OF CREDITLAND DEVELOPMENTLEGAL AUTHORITYLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL OBLIGATIONLEGISLATIONLINES OF CREDITLOANLOAN AGREEMENTSLOAN PORTFOLIOLOAN REPAYMENTLOCAL CURRENCYLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL LENDERLOCAL MARKETMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMANDATESMARKET SHAREMDASMETROPOLITAN AREASMICROFINANCEMIGRATIONMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMORTGAGEMORTGAGE LOANSMORTGAGE MARKETMORTGAGESNATIONAL INVESTMENTNATIONAL SECURITYNON PERFORMING LOANSOPERATIONAL COSTSOPERATIONAL REVENUESOVERDRAFTOVERDRAFT FACILITIESOVERDRAFTSPARTIAL GUARANTEESPAYMENT SYSTEMSPENSIONPENSION FUNDPORTFOLIOPOTENTIAL INVESTORSPRIVATE BANKINGPRIVATE BANKSPRIVATE COMMERCIAL BANKSPRIVATE INVESTORPRIVATE INVESTORSPRIVATE LENDINGPRIVATE PARTIESPRIVATE PARTYPRIVATIZATIONPRODUCTIVITYPUBLIC ASSETSPUBLIC DEBTPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC SERVICE PROVISIONPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSREAL ESTATEREGISTRATION SYSTEMSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREMITTANCESREPAYMENTRESERVERESERVE REQUIREMENTSRETAIL BANKINGREVOLVING FUNDRISK MANAGEMENTRISK PROFILERISK SHARINGRISK TAKINGSETTLEMENTSETTLEMENT STRUCTURESSHAREHOLDERSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYSOCIAL SERVICESSOVEREIGN DEBTSOVEREIGN GUARANTEESOVEREIGN GUARANTEESSOVEREIGN LENDINGSOVEREIGN LIABILITIESSTATE PROPERTYSUB-NATIONAL ENTITIESSUBSIDIARIESSUBSIDIARYTAXTAX COLLECTIONTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRANSACTIONTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURETREASURYTRUST FUNDTRUSTEEURBANIZATIONUSER CHARGESReportWorld Bank10.1596/26865
