The year-on-year Inflation for August 2025 slowed down to 11.5% from the 12.1% recorded in July 2025.
This is the eighth consecutive decline this year and the lowest in four years. The figure is also below the end of year target of 11.9 percent set by the government for 2025.
According to the data by the Ghana Statistical Service, the decline was influenced by a significant slowdown in the general price levels of foodstuffs and other items.
The Government Statistician, Dr. Alhassan Iddrisu, noted that the development shows that the pressures driving inflation over the past months are declining.
On a month-on-month basis, the general price level fell by 1.3% between July and August 2025, indicating some relief for households.
Food inflation declined to 14.8% in August 2025 from 15.1 percent in July, which means the rate of increase fell by 2.5 percent in one month.
Also, Nonfood inflation fell to 8.7 percent in August 2025 from 9.5 percent in July 2025.
Inflation for locally produced items was 12.2 percent in August from 12.9 percent in July 2025.
Also, imported items recorded 9.5 percent for August in inflation from 10.0 percent in July 2025.
