President John Mahama says Ghana\u2019s economy is witnessing a period of price stability, with inflation falling sharply and the cost of goods and services easing across markets.<\/p>\n

Speaking during his Presidential Media Encounter, the President said his government\u2019s economic management strategy is not just about improving macroeconomic indicators but ensuring that households experience real relief.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur approach to economic management goes beyond improving the macroeconomic indicators. It\u2019s about making the Ghanaian household feel the impact in their everyday lives,\u201d President Mahama stated. \u201cAs the saying goes, the real economy is not in statistics, but in the pockets of the people,\u201d he said on Wednesday, September 10.<\/p>\n

He highlighted that inflation has dropped significantly from 23.8 percent in December 2024 to 11.5 percent in July 2025 \u2014 the lowest recorded since December 2021. This, he explained, is reflected in the stabilisation of prices of goods and services.<\/p>\n

According to him, the effects of the economic rebound are now visible in markets across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prices of key commodities have fallen and, for the first time in years, brands and businesses are actively advertising their price reductions. This is a sign that recovery is not only real but tangible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Trade associations, he revealed, have also presented data to Parliament showing that up to 4,500 different items on the market have seen varied price reductions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
