Banks Of Ghana
A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits from the public and creates a demand deposit while simultaneously making loans. Lending activities can be directly performed by the bank or indirectly through capital markets. Because banks play an important role in financial stability and the economy of a country, most jurisdictions exercise a high degree of regulation over banks. Most countries have institutionalized a system known as fractional reserve banking, under which banks hold liquid assets equal to only a portion of their current liabilities. In addition to other regulations intended to ensure liquidity, banks are generally subject to minimum capital requirements based on an international set of capital standards, the Basel Accords. Banking in its modern sense evolved in the fourteenth century in the prosperous cities of Renaissance Italy but in many ways functioned as a continuation of ideas and concepts of credit and lending that had their roots in the an ...

Airport City
An airport city is the “inside the fence” airport area of a large airport, including the airport (terminals, apron, and runways) and on-airport businesses such as air cargo, logistics, offices, retail, and hotels. The airport city is at the core of the Aerotropolis, a new urban form evolving around many major airports. The concepts of airport cities and Aerotropolises are promoted in the works of John D. Kasarda, a professor and a CEO of a consulting company associated with these concepts. General description The airport city model is based on the idea that an airport can target non-Aeronautics, aeronautical services such as offices, hotels, Convention center, convention centers, and entertainment to generate new sources of income. Airports are now routinely targeting non-aeronautical revenue streams amounting to 40–60% of their total revenues.
