The year-on-year rate of inflation slowed for the fourth consecutive month to 9.8% in November compared with 10.1% the previous month, the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) has said.
Professor Samuel Annim, the Government Statistician, who announced the rate, said the drop was the fourth consecutive monthly fall post-COVID-19.
The month-on-month inflation was 0.3%, Prof Annim said.
The food inflation rate stood at 11.7% and non-food inflation was 8.3%. Inflation in locally produced items stood at 11.5% and imported items at 5.6%.
Prof. Annim said stark variation continued to exist across regions, and source and type of items.
At the regional level, the overall year-on-year inflation ranged from 3.4% in the Upper West and Volta Regions to 15.2% in Greater Accra.
Prof. Annim said Greater Accra was the only region which recorded a food inflation rate of 13.7%.
