Ghana’s Fast Moving Consumer Goods sector is showing signs of recovery amidst easing inflation pressures, Maverick Research has pointed out in its latest Maverick FMCG Index.
This is coming after a difficult two-year period of economic turbulence.
For the first half of 2024, FMCG volumes rose by 4.0% and value increased by 2.0%, indicating that inflationary pressures are beginning to ease compared to the previous year.
This rebound, it said, marks a potential turning point for the sector, which had been weighed down by high inflation and a struggling cedi in 2022 and 2023.
The report pointed out that Ghana’s inflation rate has been moderating, and consumers are gradually adjusting to food price increases.
