The Ghana Statistical Service has reported a decline in the country’s inflation rate to 6.3 per cent in November 2025, down from 8 per cent in October.
Government Statistician Dr Alhassan Iddrisu attributed the decline primarily to a fall in food inflation, which has been a major contributor to overall inflation in recent months. Food inflation eased to 6.6 per cent in November, compared to 9.5 per cent in October.
Food inflation fell sharply to 6.6%, down from 9.5% in October. Non-food inflation also dropped to 6.1% from 6.9%, while inflation in the services sector eased to 3.8% from 4.6%. Regionally, the North East Region recorded the highest inflation rate at 12.3%, whereas the Savannah Region posted the lowest at -0.02%.
Inflation for locally produced items decreased from 8.0% in October to 6.8% in November 2025. Inflation for goods also slowed, declining to 7.3% from 9.3%.
Businesses have been encouraged to capitalise on the lower inflation environment by investing in efficiency, strengthening local supply chains, reducing waste, and passing cost savings on to consumers where possible.
Dr Iddrisu also urged the government to maintain fiscal discipline to sustain economic stability and ensure continued progress in controlling inflation.
