Inflation Drops to 21.2% in April, Reaching Lowest Point in Eight Months

The rate of inflation declined to 21.2% in April, 2025 – its lowest level in eight months as a stronger cedi has helped curb import-related price pressures.

The latest figure marks a slight improvement from the 22.4% recorded in March and reflects the fifth consecutive month of disinflation in 2025.

This means consumer prices fell by 0.8% month-on-month during the period under review

Both food and non-food inflation moderated during the period, contributing to the downward trend.

Food inflation slowed to 25.0% in April from 26.5% in March, while non-food inflation decelerated to 17.9% from 18.7%.
