Ghana Inflation Moderates on Food Price Relief, Stable Currency

Ghana's inflation rate unexpectedly decelerated in July as food-price pressures eased and currency stability reduced import costs. The West African nation's consumer price growth was driven primarily by moderating food expenses and a firmer exchange rate that helped contain the cost of foreign goods. The development comes as central banks across multiple regions maintain cautious monetary stances. Policymakers in the Czech Republic signaled readiness to hold rates steady despite lingering domestic inflation concerns, while Mexico's central bank kept borrowing costs unchanged amid geopolitical risks and economic weakness. Global inflation pressures remain uneven across regions.
