Ghana’s Producer Price Inflation (PPI) dropped sharply to 1.4% in October 2025, down from 3.2% in September. This marks a 1.8 percentage point decline.
Fresh data from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) show that the fall was largely driven by a significant slowdown in the Mining and Quarrying sector, the heaviest component of the index with a weight of 43.7%.
The Manufacturing sector, which accounts for 35% of the PPI basket, recorded a modest increase from 1.7% to 2.5% though still well below the 22.7% rate seen during the same period last year.
The Transport and Storage subsector continued to post deep negative inflation, falling further from -8.2% to -8.8%, indicating a notable drop in producer prices for October.
Producer inflation in the sector slid from 5.0% in September to just 0.7% in October, representing a 4.3 percentage point drop.
