The June rise was led by non-food inflation at 6.3%, which accounted for 68.5% of the headline figure, driven by transport, housing, rent and education. Food inflation was lower at 3.9%. Locally produced items rose faster (6.7%) than imported ones (2.3%), so the pressure is largely domestic and service-driven. A weaker cedi exchange rate and higher fuel prices also feed the cost of living. Regionally, North East recorded the highest rate at 10.2% and Bono East the lowest at -4.4% (Source: GSS, via Modern Ghana).
