GInflation rises to 5.0% in August 2026
The latest data point to a changing inflation landscape in Ghana, with domestic costs, housing, transport and other services emerging as major sources of price pressure, while inflation for imported items remains relatively low.
Outlook Overall, the August inflation data show that Ghana’s disinflation gains are facing renewed pressure, mainly from domestic costs rather than imported price shocks.
The combination of a higher year-on-year inflation rate and a decline in the monthly price level suggests that the latest inflation increase should be assessed alongside underlying movements in individual goods and services.
