Inflation ends the month of February at 15.7%

Headline inflation ended the month of February at 15.7 percentage points.

The increase in inflation rate from the recorded 13.9 percentage points in January 2022, is attributed to the jump in food prices.

The year-on-year inflation rate of 15.7 percent according to the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is the highest since 2016.

The month-on-month inflation between January 2022 and February 2022 was 2.4%.

The recorded increment in the prices of food for last month confirms reports that food prices will continue to soar on the back of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

According to the GSS, drivers for the surge in inflation were Housing, Water, Electricity and Gas (25.4%); Transport (18.3%) as well as Food and Non-alcoholic beverages (17.4%).
