Inflation 3.2%, VIP Fares Up, First Atlantic Bank Profit+30.5%

Ghana’s inflation has fallen to 3.2 %, the lowest level since the 2021 rebasing of the consumer price index. That marks fifteen straight months of falling prices, a big change from the 23 % seen just a year ago.

At the same time, VIP Jeoun Transport raised fares nationwide by up to 25 % because fuel costs keep climbing. The government stepped in to stop a planned sachet water price increase and called producers to an urgent meeting for a fair solution.

First Atlantic Bank reported a 30.5 % jump in profit at its recent AGM, with the chairman crediting disciplined risk management and tech investments. Meanwhile, the Ghana Stock Exchange rose 40 points, and the SEC warned against unlicensed stock tips on TikTok and Facebook.

Overall, the economy shows mixed signals: price pressures are easing in some areas but transport and energy costs remain a worry. Watching how fuel prices and policy moves evolve will tell us what comes next.
