  • 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.
