Ghana’s inflation rate for August 2025 has decreased from 12.1% in July to 11.5%, as reported by the Ghana Statistical Service. This decline marks the eighth consecutive month of decrease.
The August inflation rate is the lowest in almost four years. On a month-on-month basis, overall prices dropped by 1.3%, providing households with some relief from prolonged cost-of-living pressures.
According to Dr. Alhassan Iddrisu, Government Statistician, food inflation slowed to 14.8% in August from 15.1% in July, with food prices decreasing by 2.5% within the month.
Non-food inflation also moderated to 8.7%, compared to 9.5% in July, with prices falling slightly by 0.1%.
Inflation for goods declined to 13.9% from 14.2% in July, with overall prices of goods falling by 1.6%.
Imported inflation decreased at a faster rate than local inflation, supported by a stronger Cedi and lower global cost pressures. Despite the national decline, regional inflation rates varied significantly due to differences in supply, transportation costs, and local economic dynamics.
