Ghana's annual consumer inflation slowed for the sixth consecutive month in June, dropping to 13.7 per cent, its lowest level since December 2021. Government Statistician Alhassan Iddrisu said the sustained decline signals easing inflationary pressures, attributing the trend to ongoing fiscal and monetary measures. Food inflation fell sharply to 16.3 per cent from 22.8 per cent in May, offering relief to households. The central bank maintained its key interest rate at 28 per cent in May, with its next policy decision expected later this month. Ghana is gradually recovering from its worst economic crisis in decades, with the government targeting 11.9 per cent inflation by year-end. Attribution: Reuters Subediting: M. S. Salama
