The Producer Price Inflation (PPI) declined to 1.4% in October 2025, down from 3.2% in September 2025.
This represents a 1.8 percentage point decrease.
According to data from the Ghana Statistical Service, Mining and Quarrying, the largest sector with a weight of 43.7%, recorded a 4.3 percentage point decrease in producer inflation.
This was from 5.0% in September 2025 to 0.7% in October 2025.
Similarly, Manufacturing, which makes up 35% of the PPI weights, increased from 1.7% in September 2025 to 2.5% in October 2025, but was much lower than the 22.7% recorded a year ago.

The producer inflation in the Transport and Storage subsector continued to fall, declining from -8.2% in September to -8.8% in October 2025. Thus, producer prices in the sector fell by 8.8% in October.
The GSS advised businesses to cut costs and raise efficiency by streamlining operations, eliminating waste, and pushing productivity so every cedi works harder.
It also recommended to the government to support investment where it moves the needle by directing incentives toward firms that expand capacity, upgrade technology, and create jobs.
It also wants the government to remove structural bottlenecks by fixing energy, transport, and logistics constraints that keep production costs high.
For households and consumers, it advised them to spend with intention by comparing prices, choosing value, and favoring sellers who pass on lower costs.
