Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the dollarization of Ghana's finances. The objects of this study are real output, interest rate differentials, real exchange rates, inflation, and financial developments. The research subjects are based on quarterly data from the World Development Index (WDI) and the Bank of Ghana (BOG) for the years 1999-2022. The research method uses the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach for cointegration. This study finds that the driving factors for financial dollarization in Ghana are real output, interest rate differentials, real exchange rates, inflation, and financial developments. While the dollarization of Ghana's finances is constrained by factors such as inflation, exchange rates, and financial growth, the differential in interest rates and actual output increases the demand for foreign currency in Ghana. This study implies that much is expected from the monetary policy authorities, and there is a need for proper coordination of fiscal and monetary policies to curb the issue of dollarization of finance in Ghana.
