Food items are still expensive. Ghanaians still feel the heat and cannot agree with the above decreased inflation figure.<\/p>\n<p>The Ghana Statistical Service reported that as of the end of 2023, inflation in Ghana was 23.2%. This represents a 3.2% decline from the November 2023 rate of 26.4%.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, there are other reasons for Ghana&#8217;s economic difficulties, such as careless spending, corruption, and incompetent leadership. High levels of public debt, which have been made worse by a history of careless spending and inadequate fiscal management, are one of the main issues the nation is currently confronting.<\/p>\n<p>Government statistician Prof. Samuel Kobina Anim not only provides crucial economic data but also highlights the notable decline in inflation rates for both food and non-food goods in December.<\/p>\n<p>According to the statistics service, monthly price rises have slowed down. Specifically, between November and December 2023, prices for goods and services increased by 1.2% less than between October 2023 and November 2023 (1.5% price increase).<\/p>\n<p>Regionally, the Upper East had the lowest percentage of food inflation (18.8%), while the Eastern region had the highest rate (51.3%). With a food inflation index of 22.2%, Greater Accra ranked 14th out of 16 regions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking at the statistical data and the market commodities, the inflation drop has become a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27932,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/infla-drop-500x281-1-1.webp",500,281,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/infla-drop-500x281-1-1-150x150.webp",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/infla-drop-500x281-1-1-300x169.webp",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/infla-drop-500x281-1-1.webp",500,281,false],"large":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/infla-drop-500x281-1-1.webp",500,281,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/infla-drop-500x281-1-1.webp",500,281,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/infla-drop-500x281-1-1.webp",500,281,false],"chromenews-featured":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/infla-drop-500x281-1-1.webp",500,281,false],"chromenews-large":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/infla-drop-500x281-1-1.webp",500,281,false],"chromenews-medium":["https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/infla-drop-500x281-1-1.webp",500,281,false]},"author_info":{"display_name":"nkyeremunews","author_link":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/author\/nkyeremunews\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/category\/government-and-politics\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Government and Politics<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/category\/uncategorised\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Nkyeremu<\/a>","tag_info":"Nkyeremu","comment_count":"0","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/infla-drop-500x281-1-1.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27929"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27929"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27929\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nkyeremunews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
