Ghana’s consumer price inflation picked up in June 2026, rising to 5.30% year-over-year from 3.70% in May 2026, according to data updated on 1 July 2026. The acceleration marks a reversal from the previous month’s slower price growth and indicates renewed upward pressure on the cost of living.
The figures are calculated on a year-over-year basis, meaning June’s 5.30% reading reflects the change in prices compared with June a year earlier, while May’s 3.70% compared prices with May of the previous year. The move suggests that, after a period of easing inflation, price increases have become more pronounced, an important signal for policymakers, businesses and investors monitoring Ghana’s economic trajectory.
