Corporate Bond Financing and Financial Resilience in the U.S. FMCG Sector (2020–2024): Navigating Macroeconomic Volatility.

This paper, Determinants of Corporate Bond Performance: Ghana in Comparative Perspective, explores the macroeconomic and structural factors influencing corporate bond market outcomes in Ghana, contextualized against global trends. Covering the period from 2020 to 2024, the study integrates insights from U.S. bond market behavior during the COVID-19 shock and recovery, examining the interplay between GDP growth, inflation, monetary policy, and corporate debt issuance. The work further highlights lessons for emerging economies and provides data-driven guidance for policymakers, investors, and financial analysts interested in market resilience and risk navigation. Figures and tables based on official sources such as the BEA, BLS, S&P Global, and RBC Wealth Management support the empirical discussion.
