The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) reports that producer inflation in Ghana has decreased to 1.3% in November 2025 from 1.4% in October.
The mining and quarrying industry saw a 4.7% month-over-month drop in pricing between October and November 2025, which is the reason for this dip.
Key Highlights: Mining and Quarrying Sector: This industry contributed 1.6 percentage points to overall producer inflation and has the biggest weight in the Producer Price Index (PPI) at 43.7%.
– Year-over-Year Inflation: The mining and quarrying industry saw an increase in inflation from 0.7% in October to 2.3% in November.
Overall Producer Inflation: Variations in international commodity prices, changes in exchange rates, and operating expenses have all had an impact on the overall producer inflation rate.
Sector Performance: Metal Ore Mining: This subsector had notable price rises.
The extraction of natural gas and crude oil saw a decrease in prices.
Other Mining and Quarrying Activities: This subsector saw a decrease in prices as well.
Consequences The GSS emphasised that persistent price fluctuations in mining and quarrying could have a big impact on government revenue, downstream industries that depend on mineral inputs, and inflation dynamics.
