Ghana’s inflation rate fell for an eighth straight month to the lowest level in almost four years, supporting the argument for another rate cut.

Annual inflation slowed to 11.5% in August from 12.1% the previous month, Government Statistician Alhassan Iddrisu told reporters in the capital, Accra, on Wednesday. Prices fell 1.3% in the month, he said.
