Has Ghana’s inflation miracle reached its limit as imported pressures quietly return?

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

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.
