Inflation for the month of April 2025 slowed marginally to 21.2 percent from 22.4 percent in March.
The drop was influenced by decline in food and non-food inflation compared to the same period for last year.
Speaking at News Conference in Accra today, new Government statistician Dr. Alhassan Iddrisu noted that this is the fifth consecutive decline since December 2024.
He announced that inflation for locally produced items dropped from 24.0 percent in March to 22.7 percent in April 2025.
Recommendations
Mr. Iddrisu advised that there is the need to sustain, macro-economic stability and pursue measures to reinforce the downward inflation trend.
“Government must also work hard to sustain social intervention programmes such as the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP), Capitation Grant , School Feeding and other programmes that can protect the real income of the poor”, he said.
He added that government must fast track the implementation of Agriculture for Transformation programme to reduce food inflation.
