The study concludes that managing liquidity risk is beneficial to the financial performance of insurance companies in Ghana. The study recommends policymakers and regulators must initiate, design and model regulations such that they help tame risk to improve the performance of insurers in Ghana given that the present state of required capital. 2025-01-20T12:39:40Z 2025-01-20T12:39:40Z 2020 Thesis https://ir.knust.edu.gh/handle/123456789/16078 en application/pdf knust |
