Accra, Ghana Statistical Service today announced that year-on-year Inflation for June 2025 has dropped significantly to 13.7 per cent from the 18.4 per cent posted in May 2025.
According to the service, this is the sixth consecutive decline in inflation for this year and the lowest since December 2021.
The figures released by the service saw a decline, which was influenced by a significant slowdown in the general price levels of foodstuffs and items.
The Government Statistician, Dr. Alhassan Iddrisu, explained that the development shows that the pressures driving inflation over the past months are declining.
For the first time in a while, the general price levels from May to June this year dropped, recording a deflation of 1.2 per cent.
According to the Ghana Statistical Service, the move could mean that Ghanaians paid less for goods and services for the month of June 2025 compared to May 2025.
Dr. Iddrisu said, “The downward inflationary trend over the last 6 months provides some consistency and assurance of a real, sustained shift in prices.”
The Upper West region recorded the highest regional inflation of 32.3% largely caused by food inflation and utilities, while the Bono region recorded the lowest of 8.4%.
Dr. Iddrisu further called for the use of granular data to ascertain the disparity in regional inflation to achieve reduced inflation in the regions.
Food inflation dropped by 6.5 percentage points to 16.3% down from 22.8% in May, while non-food inflation dropped by 3 percentage points to 11.4%.
