Samuel Annim, the government statistician at the GSS, said during a regular monthly briefing that inflation for food and non-alcoholic beverages declined further to 49.4 percent from 51.9 percent in August, while non-food inflation declined by 1.6 percentage points to 29.3 percent.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, inflation for locally produced and imported items stood at 37.3 percent and 39.9 percent, respectively, the official revealed.<\/p>\n

Despite the decline, Ghana\u2019s inflation rate is still far above the central bank\u2019s medium-term target band of six percent to 10 percent.<\/p>\n

In recent years, the West African country has been plagued by an economic crisis exacerbated by high inflation. Therefore, Ghana commenced an implementation of economic reforms in May, backed by a loan of 3 billion U.S. dollars from the International Monetary Fund, seeking to revive its economy.<\/p>\n
