Inflation, the main indicator of movements in the prices of goods and services slowed down again in the month of September.
It recorded 9.38 percent down from the August figure of 9.44.
The trend means that even though prices of goods and services generally went up in September, the rate of increase was less than that of August.
This is the 15th consecutive drop in inflation since June last year.
Chief Government Statistician, Dr. Grace Bediako who announced the latest drop in Accra Wednesday.
She attributed the decline to a reduction in the prices of foodstuffs or the food component of the inflation index.
