Ghana’s year-on-year inflation rate rose to 5.3% in June 2026 from 3.7% in May, with higher non-food prices driving the increase, the Ghana Statistical Service has announced.
Although inflation edged up during the month, the latest figure remains considerably lower than the 13.7% recorded in June 2025, indicating that price levels are still below those seen during the same period last year.
According to data released by the Statistical Service, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased to 270.8 in June from 257.3 a year earlier.
Month-on-month inflation, however, slowed to 0.2% from 1.1% in May, suggesting that the pace of price increases eased despite the rise in annual inflation.
Non-food inflation climbed to 6.3% from 4.1% in May, accounting for 68.5% of headline inflation and remaining the principal driver of overall price growth.
Food inflation also increased, rising to 3.9% from 3.3% in the previous month.
The report showed that inflation for locally produced goods rose to 6.7% from 5.0% in May, contributing 86.6% of headline inflation. Inflation for imported goods also increased to 2.3%, up from 0.9%.
Services inflation stood at 9.4%, easing marginally from 9.9% in May, while goods inflation accelerated to 3.7% from 1.4%.
Regionally, the North East Region recorded the highest inflation rate at 10.2%, while Bono East Region posted the lowest rate of minus 4.4%, reflecting a decline in average prices during the period.
The latest figures indicate that while inflation has risen after months of moderation, overall price pressures remain significantly lower than they were a year ago.
