Provisional data on Ghana’s Producer Price Inflation (PPI), released by the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), shows a drop from 27.6 percent in February to 24.4 percent in March 2025.
The decline marks a 3.2 percentage point reduction, with a marginal month-on-month change of 0.6 percent between February and March.
According to the GSS, the latest figures reveal variations across sectors. The mining and quarrying sector recorded the highest inflation rate at 35.4 percent. Although this was the highest among all sectors, it still represented a sharp decline from the 43.7 percent registered in February this year.
The provisional data also indicated that the manufacturing sector followed with a rate of 22.8 percent, an increase from 20.8 percent in the previous month.
At the other end of the spectrum, the Information and Communication sector maintained the lowest inflation rate at 4.1 percent, a marginal drop from 4.2 percent in February.
Other sectors also recorded moderate changes, with construction falling to 15.4 percent from 15.8 percent, and accommodation and food services easing to 7.2 percent from 7.8 percent.
