ACCRA, March 15 (Reuters) - Ghana's consumer inflation
slowed to 52.8% year on year in February from 53.6% in January,
the statistics service said on Wednesday.
It was the second consecutive month that inflation has
slowed, since reaching a more than two-decade high of 54.1% in
December.
Ghana is facing its worst economic crisis in a
generation and is in the process of restructuring its debt in
order to secure a $3 billion loan from the International
Monetary Fund.
