Inflation outlook to remain negative, says economic analysts

Economic analysts with SIC Limited, are projecting a negative outlook for the country’s headline inflation given its upward trajectory.

According to Godwin Odoom and Obed Sackey, Ghana’s inflation rate is expected to continue to rise in the coming months given the anticipated spikes in the prices of crude oil on the back of the Russia-Ukraine war.

The ongoing war, they further assert, will have adverse impact on the growth of the Ghanaian economy.

“Our outlook for inflation remains negative. We expect Russia-Ukraine conflict to have adverse effect  on both economic growth as well as inflation. The  spike in oil prices as the conflict continue to soar is  expected to drive overall inflation higher in coming  months,” they stated.

Adding that, the projected further rise in inflation rate will be worsened by the depreciation of the cedi against its anchor currency, the US dollar and the British pounds

“We also expect the inflation rate to rise for imported goods and local goods to edge higher in March as the Ghana Cedi is projected to depreciate further against the US Dollar and British Pounds,” they added.
