The aim of this research was to establish the nexus between liquidity and the viability of quoted non-financial establishments in Ghana. Panel data deduced from the published annual reports of 15 entities for the period 2008 to 2017 was employed for the study. Preliminarily, cross-sectional reliance, unit root, serial correlation, heteroscedasticity, co-integration, and causality tests were respectively performed. Our findings established that there exists no cross-sectional reliance, and input variables are stationary and co-integrated with no presence of heteroscedasticity and serial correlation. Estimates from the random effects generalized least squares (GLS) regression showed that liquidity has significant adverse effect on the firms’ Return on Equity (ROE) but had insignificantly positive effect on ROE when surrogated by the cash flow ratio. Finally, test based on causalities uncovered that, with the exception of Current Ratio and ROE that are flanked by bidirectional liaison, no other causal affiliation was evidenced amid other variables. Policy recommendations are further discussed.
