Ghana’s Whole Economy Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) fell below the neutral 50 threshold in June 2026, signaling a renewed contraction in private sector activity. The index dropped to 47.70% from 50.00% in May 2026, according to data updated on 6 July 2026.
On a month-over-month basis, the June reading marks a reversal from the flat conditions seen in May, when the PMI held exactly at 50.00%, indicating neither expansion nor contraction. The latest decline suggests that overall business conditions weakened in June compared with the previous month.
The PMI is a closely watched gauge of economic momentum, with readings above 50 pointing to expansion and those below 50 indicating contraction. June’s 47.70% print therefore points to softening activity across Ghana’s whole economy after a brief stabilization in May.
