The Government Statistician at the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), Dr Alhassan Iddrisu, has disclosed that Ghana’s headline inflation for August 2025 fell to 11.5%, down from 12.1% in July 2025.
According to him, this marks the eighth straight month of decline and pushes inflation below the government’s year-end target of 11.9%, a signal of improving price stability. This, according to Dr Alhassan Iddrisu is the lowest level since late 2021.
Data from the GSS monthly report showed consumer prices slipped by 1.3%, offering relief to households facing prolonged cost-of-living pressures.
Dr Iddrisu, presenting the figures on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, explained that food inflation eased to 14.8% from 15.1% in July, driven by a 2.5% fall in food prices.
Non-food inflation, he noted, moderated to 8.7%, while goods inflation dipped to 13.9%.
Imported inflation fell more sharply than locally driven price pressures, supported by a stronger Cedi and softer global commodity costs.
However, regional disparities remain wide, with transport costs and supply bottlenecks keeping prices elevated in some areas.
