The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) has dismissed as false reports suggesting that the price of cement will increase by GH¢6 on Monday, January 19, 2026.
In a public notice, the Authority clarified that neither it nor the Cement Manufacturing Development Committee has issued any directive approving a price increment.
“The notice circulating about a GH¢6 price increment of cement on Monday, 19th January, 2026, is false,” the statement said.
According to the GSA, the Cement Manufacturing Development Committee, which includes the Authority, has not made any decision to adjust cement prices.
The GSA urged the public to exercise caution and avoid acting on unverified information, warning that misinformation could create unnecessary panic in the market.
The Authority advised consumers, businesses and industry stakeholders to rely only on its official communication channels for accurate and timely information.
The statement was signed by the Director-General of the Ghana Standards Authority, Prof. George Agyei.
