Ghana Producer Inflation at 3-Month Low of 8.9%
Producer Prices in Ghana increased 8.9 percent year-on-year in October 2019, easing from a downwardly revised 9.1 percent surge in the previous month. It was the lowest producer inflation since July, as cost slowed for manufacturing (3.1 percent vs 4.1 percent in September), mainly due to lower prices of coke, refined petroleum products (-5.7 percent vs -2.7 percent) and mining & quarrying (34.4 percent vs 37.1 percent), namely non-ferrous metal ores (35.9 percent vs 38.8 percent). However, inflation sharpened for utilities amid the recent hikes in tariffs (12.6 percent vs 6.8 percent), namely electricity (12.7 percent vs 6.7 percent) and water supply (10.4 percent vs 8 percent). On a monthly basis, producer prices inched up 1.4 percent, after a 0.5 percent decrease in the previous month.
