Ghana’s inflation rate fell sharply to 13.7% in June 2025, down from 18.4% in May, marking the lowest rate recorded since 2021, according to the latest figures released by the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS).
The significant drop of nearly five percentage points reflects a marked slowdown in the rate at which consumer prices are increasing, offering potential relief to households and businesses that have struggled with persistent cost-of-living pressures over the past few years.
The data, announced on Wednesday, signals a positive shift in the country’s macroeconomic environment and could influence future decisions on interest rates and fiscal policy. It also suggests that recent monetary tightening measures and government interventions to stabilize food prices, fuel costs, and the exchange rate may be beginning to yield results.
While the GSS has not yet released a full sectoral breakdown, analysts are likely to monitor food inflation, transport costs, and housing metrics closely for further insights.
Economic observers say continued improvement in inflation trends could help restore investor confidence, reduce borrowing costs, and support Ghana’s recovery efforts following years of fiscal pressure and external shocks.
The announcement has been welcomed by sections of the business community and financial analysts, who note that maintaining inflation in the low double digits could ease the financial burden on consumers and potentially boost real incomes.
