Ghana’s inflation quickened in September to the fastest pace this year as the cedi remained at a record low, boosting the cost of imports, and the government removed subsidies on gasoline.
The inflation rate rose to 11.9 percent from 11.5 percent in August, Baah Wadieh, a statistician at the Ghana Statistical Service, told reporters in the capital, Accra today. The statistics office began using a 2012 base for inflation in January.
