The Ghanaian Government Statistician, Dr. Alhasan Iddrisu, has announced that the country’s inflation rate for the month of September dropped to 9.4 per cent, down from 11.5% in August, reflecting the lowest inflation level recorded in four years.
Dr. Iddrisu told journalists on Friday in Accra that the figure marked the ninth consecutive month of decline and signaled sustained economic stability and improved price conditions.
He said that the month-on-month inflation rate stood at 0.9 per cent, indicating a moderate rise in the general price level between August and September.
Iddrisu attributed the continued fall in inflation to a more stable macroeconomic environment, easing food prices, and improved exchange rate conditions.
“The September inflation figure is not just a statistic, it represents a real and meaningful shift in our economy.
“We are experiencing a disinflation process where inflation remains positive, but the rate at which prices increase is slowing down steadily,” he said.
According to him, the Consumer Price Index rose to 258 in September 2025 from 235.8 a year earlier.
“This means that, on average, prices in September 2025 were 9.4 per cent higher than in the same period last year,” he added.
He explained that food inflation was a significant contributor to the decline, which fell to 11 per cent in September from 14.8 per cent in August.
