Joshua Titus-Kwaku is a PhD student in Development Studies at the University of Ghana's Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER). His research interests focus on the intersections of financial development, international trade, green finance, and broader economic development, with a particular focus on Sub-Saharan Africa.
Before joining ISSER, Joshua earned an MPhil in Finance from the University of Ghana Business School. During his time at the Business School, he served as a Teaching Assistant, where he developed a passion for mentoring students and facilitating learning in finance-related courses.
Joshua’s doctoral research examines the nexus between green finance and sovereign debt sustainability in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on how climate-aligned financial instruments can support fiscal resilience and sustainable development in the region.
Beyond academics, Joshua enjoys driving and exploring new places, a hobby that reflects his curiosity and appreciation for discovery. He is committed to a career in academia and hopes to contribute to policy-relevant research that bridges the gap between financial theory and real-world development outcomes.
