Ghana’s consumer price inflation edged higher to 5.20% year-over-year in September 2026, up from 5.00% in August 2026, according to CPI data updated on 7 October 2026. The move marks a modest acceleration in price growth after a month of relative stability at the lower 5% level.
Both the current and previous readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring how prices in each month changed relative to the same month a year earlier. While the uptick is small, it indicates a slight increase in inflationary pressure as the third quarter closes, which policymakers and markets will monitor for signs of a more sustained trend.
