Ghana Records Real Progress Against Inflation – Ato Forson
Inflation Falls to 6.3% in November, Lowest Since 2021 Rebase
- Inflation in Ghana fell to 6.3% in November 2025
- Food prices and both local and imported goods recorded notable decreases
- Finance Minister Ato Forson said the decline reflects the impact of government reforms
Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has announced that Ghana is beginning to see “real, measurable progress” in curbing inflation, following a month of widespread price declines across the economy.
Inflation fell to 6.3% in November 2025 — the lowest level since the 2021 rebasing and marking the eleventh consecutive month of decline. Dr. Forson said this reflects the impact of the government’s economic stabilization measures.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, December 4, he highlighted that key reforms are producing consistent results, with food prices showing the most significant improvement. Food inflation dropped sharply from 9.5% in October to 6.6% in November.
“It is not just food,” he noted, pointing to easing pressures in multiple categories. Local inflation slowed from 8.0% to 6.8%, while imported inflation fell even faster, from 7.8% to 5.0%, thanks to a more stable exchange rate and reduced external cost pressures.
Dr. Forson added that the sustained decline in inflation strengthens expectations for a more predictable price environment in 2026, offering relief to households and businesses after years of economic volatility.
