Per the latest data from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), Ghana’s building cost pressures continue to ease.
In February 2026, the GSS said inflation in the building industry slowed further to 2.4% year-on-year, marking the 10th consecutive decline.
At the same time, prices rose by 0.4% between January and February 2026.
What this means is simple: costs are still increasing, but at a much slower and more stable pace than we saw a year ago, the Government Statistician, Dr Alhassan Iddrisu said.
Across the key drivers, labour, materials, and plant all show easing trends, although some items continue to rise while others fall, Dr Iddrisu added.
This mixed movement is important, he said.
“It tells us that decisions today must be informed, targeted, and timely.
“At the Ghana Statistical Service, we remain focused on turning data into clear, usable insights for everyone.
“We extend our sincere appreciation to market players, data providers, industry stakeholders, and all who engage with and use these statistics.
“We also recognise the dedication and professionalism of our hardworking staff, whose efforts make this work possible every month.
“Reliable data builds strong decisions. And strong decisions build a stronger Ghana,” Dr Iddrisu said.
