PwC Ghana projects further drop in inflation

Professional services firm PwC Ghana, has expressed a positive outlook on inflation, projecting a further fall in the coming months.

The firm attributed this positive outlook to the country’s growing economic stability and enhanced collaboration between fiscal and monetary policies, and to the current 8.0% headline inflation for October 2025, the lowest level since June 2021, extending a steady decline for the tenth consecutive month.

During an address at the 2025 PwC Cyber Forum held in Accra on Thursday, the Country Senior Partner of PwC Ghana, Vish Ashiagbor highlighted the consistent decline in inflation, which, according to him, reflects renewed confidence in the economy and effective governance by policymakers.

He emphasized that if the government can uphold fiscal discipline and if the private sector maintains its positive engagement, Ghana could achieve an even greater price stability.

“The fact that inflation has fallen to 8 percent reflects a stronger macroeconomic framework. If we sustain this momentum and build private sector confidence, we could see a more stable price environment,” he stated.

In the same vein, the Director-General of the National Cyber Security Authority (NCSA), Divine Selasi Agbeti, warned that fragmented systems and insufficient collaboration have left businesses increasingly vulnerable to cyber attacks. He stressed the importance of building a culture of transparency and collective action to enhance national cyber resilience.

“Cybersecurity is not just a government issue; it’s a shared responsibility. Without intelligence sharing and coordinated response, our systems remain exposed,” he remarked.

The 2025 PwC Cyber Forum gathered key figures from the government, private sector, and technology communities to explore emerging threats and opportunities in the digital realm. Among the discussions was a call for enhanced intelligence sharing between public entities and private tech firms to combat the rising tide of cyber threats.
