Ghana last achieved single-digit inflation in 2021 at 9.97%, but subsequent years saw a rise, peaking at a 22-year high of 54.1%, despite an initial target of 31.9%.
At the ongoing IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings, the IMF presented a positive outlook for Ghana's economy, crediting the projected 8% inflation rate to robust measures taken under the IMF program.
The IMF forecasts a substantial growth rate of 4.4% for Ghana in 2025, up from the projected 2.8% growth in 2024.
