Ghana's annual consumer inflation has slowed for a third straight month to 22.4% in March from 23.1% the previous month.
According to the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), the decline is attributed to easing food price pressures.
The Government Statistician, Samuel Kobina Annim, described the development as a drop in inflationary pressures, particularly in food prices.
"The rate of 22.4% is the lowest in the last four months," he told a press conference.
"In the month of March 2025, we recorded a much sharper decline in food inflation and a marginal decline in non-food inflation."
Overall, the food inflation rate for March 2025 was estimated at 26.5%, down from 28.1% in February 2025.
Non-food inflation rate also continued to decline, but marginally this time, from 18.8% in February to 18.7%.
However, Inflation for locally produced items reduced to 24.0% from 25.1%.
In contrast, the inflation rate for imported items increased to 18.7% in March 2025 from 18.5% in February 2025.
