Ghana’s year-on-year Producer Price Inflation (PPI) rose slightly to 3.2% in September 2025, up from 3.0% in August, according to new data from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS).
Despite the marginal increase, this marks a significant drop of 27.3 percentage points compared to the same period last year.
On a monthly basis, producer prices climbed by 0.9%, indicating that producers earned slightly more for their goods and services in September than they did in August.
The Mining and Quarrying sector, which holds the largest share in the PPI index at 43.7%, recorded a modest rise in inflation from 4.9% to 5.0%. The Manufacturing sector, contributing 35% to the index, also saw a slight increase from 1.6% to 1.7%.
However, the Transport and Storage sector continued its downward trend, with inflation falling by 8.2%, deeper than the 8.0% decline recorded the previous month.
The GSS is urging businesses to minimize waste, boost efficiency, and invest in technology and workforce development to remain competitive. It also called on government to implement tax reliefs, resolve energy and transport challenges, and strengthen local supply chains to reduce production costs.
For consumers, the Service advised intentional spending, encouraging Ghanaians to compare prices, shop wisely, and support businesses that reflect cost savings in their pricing.
