Ghana's consumer inflation slowed to 45.0% in annual terms
in March from 52.8% in February, the statistics service said on
Wednesday.
It was the third 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.
The central bank last month
surprised analysts
by raising its main interest rate to 29.5%, a sign the
monetary policy committee did not yet see the country's economic
situation stabilising despite slowing inflation.
