Inflation dips marginally to 23.2% in February

Headline inflation dipped by 0.3% to 23.2% at end-February 2024.

Inflation for January 2024 stood at 23.5%.

Announcing the inflation rate for February during a press briefing on Wednesday, Government Statistician Prof. Samuel Kobina Anim provided a breakdown of the figures, explaining that the 23.2 percent indicates an increase in the prices of goods and services.

“The February rate of inflation fell to 23.2 percent. This year-on-year inflation signifies that over a one-year period, prices of goods and services have gone up by 23.2 percent.

“This figure is a reversal of the marginal increase we recorded in the month of January 2024, when the slowdown that we have successfully recorded for the last seven months saw a marginal increase to 23.5 percent. In reverse, we have turned around this increase for January 2024 to a reverse of 23.2 percent.”

Food inflation slowed to 27% from 27.1% in January, while non-food price growth was 20% compared with 20.5%.

Month on month, food inflation stood at 2.0% from 1.6% in January 2024 while non-food inflation for February was 1.30% from 2.4%.
