Food inflation rate stood at 11.7 per cent and non-food inflation was 8.3 per cent. Inflation in locally produced items stood at 11.5 per cent and imported items at 5.6 per cent.
Prof. Annim said stark variation continued to exist across regions, and source and type of items.

Prof. Annim said Greater Accra was the only region which recorded a food inflation rate of 13.7 per cent.
