Ghana’s inflation rate fell sharply to 18.4% year-on-year in May 2025.
This is down from the 21.2% recorded in April and marks the lowest rate since February 2022.
It also extends the country’s disinflation trend into its fifth consecutive month as the rate nearly halves from its 2022 peaks
The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) attributes the significant decline to reductions in transport fares and a marked slowdown in non-food inflation, signaling a sustained easing in the pace at which consumer prices are rising.
