Ghana's inflation rises in June as high fuel prices persist

Ghana's inflation increased to 5.3% in June 2026, doubling from 3.7% in May, driven primarily by high fuel prices linked to ongoing tensions with Iran. The rise in inflation affects transport costs, rental prices, and educational expenses. While this marks a significant increase compared to May, it remains well below the 13.7% inflation rate observed in June 2025. Ghana's economy has shown signs of recovery since joining an IMF program in 2023, following a debt default in 2022. Recent economic challenges included the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. In April 2026, Ghana returned to the local bond market by issuing a 7-year cedi-denominated treasury bond to support the 2026 budget, marking the first such issuance since the 2022 debt default.
