Ghana Inflation Rate : Definition
Ghana's inflation rate shows the percentage increase in the Ghana Cedi price level for goods and services. It is calculated using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) compiled by the Ghana Statistical Service. The CPI tracks price changes in a representative basket of goods and services with significant weights for food, housing, transport and utilities. The annual inflation rate reflects the CPI's year-on-year percentage change.
