\"Inflation <\/a>Inflation drops marginally to 13.7% in June 2025<\/p>\n

A Deloitte West Africa Inflation Update has projected that Ghana is likely to end 2025 with single-digit inflation.<\/p>\n

This is below the <\/a>Bank of Ghana<\/a>\u2019s earlier projection of 12% made in March this year. According to Deloitte, current disinflationary trends are likely to provide the Central Bank with enough room to adjust interest rates favourably.<\/p>\n

It is expected that the <\/a>Bank of Ghana<\/a> will begin easing interest rates at its next Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, scheduled to conclude on July 30, 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn ease in interest rates will encourage more lending to the real sector and support further output and overall economic growth,\u201d the Deloitte said.<\/p>\n

The firm also projected that ongoing fiscal consolidation measures and policy adjustments by the government could help sustain the decline in inflation for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

However, Deloitte cautioned that upside risks remain, including ongoing global shocks and local tariff adjustments, such as the 2.45% increase in electricity tariffs and the GH\u00a21.00 fuel levy, which could pose threats to inflation stability.<\/p>\n

The report further stated that the continued decline in inflation has widened the positive real rate of return on investment to 14.3%, up from 6.2% in June 2024, using the monetary policy rate as a benchmark.<\/p>\n

Ghana\u2019s inflation rate for June 2025 fell to 13.7%, down from 18.4% in the previous month, driven by lower food prices, reduced transport costs, and the appreciation of the cedi.<\/p>\n
