  • Ghana inflation rises for the first time in 15 months
  • Imported goods and services costs are now driving pressure

 

ACCRA, GHANA – Ghana’s long-running inflation decline has hit its first visible bump, raising fresh questions about whether one of Africa’s strongest macroeconomic recoveries is beginning to lose momentum.

After fifteen consecutive months of falling inflation, Ghana’s headline inflation rate edged up to 3.4% in April 2026 from 3.2% in March, according to data released Wednesday by Government Statistician Alhassan Iddrisu.
