Year-on-year inflation eased marginally to 3.2 percent in March 2026, down from 3.3 percent in February, marking the 15th consecutive decline and the lowest level since the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was rebased in 2021.
Data from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) show the CPI rose to 264.8 in March 2026 from 256.5 in March 2025, indicating that prices were on average 3.2 percent higher compared to the same period last year.
On a month-on-month basis, inflation slowed sharply to 0.1 percent from 0.8 percent, reflecting easing short-term price pressures.
Compiled from a basket of 307 items across 57 markets and 8,337 outlets nationwide, the CPI data point to a sustained disinflation trend, with inflation down by 19.2 percentage points from 22.4 percent recorded in March 2025.
