YEAR-TO-DATE INTEREST RATE TREND In line with our expectations, the 91-day and 182-day bills in March 2018 continued to hover in the 13% region: - Yields on the 91-day bill increased by a basis point to close at 13.36% whilst the 182-day bill remained unchanged at 13.9%.

6 INFLATION RATE ANALYSIS Headline inflation recorded a marginal increase in February 2018 at 10.6%; an increase of 0.3% from 10.3% recorded in the previous month. Prices advanced faster largely due to food and alcoholic beverages and housing and utilities. YEAR-ON-YEAR INFLATION TREND The food inflation recorded 7.2% compared to 6.8% in January The main price drivers for the food inflation rate were fruits (9.8%) and non-alcoholic beverages (9.3%). The non-food inflation rate recorded 12.2% compared with 12.0% recorded in January The main price drivers for the non-food inflation rate included transport (18.9).This was closely followed by clothing and footwear (16.6), recreation and culture (13.2%), miscellaneous goods and services (12.9), alcoholic beverages and tobacco (8.8%), restaurants and hotels (8.3%), communication (8.0%), housing and utilities (7.8%). Education subgroup recorded the lowest inflation of (6.1%). At the regional level, four regions (Upper West, Greater Accra, Brong Ahafo and Ashanti) recorded inflation rates higher than the national average of 10.6%. Upper West region recorded the highest year-on-year inflation rate of 11.7% while the Upper East region recorded the lowest year-on-year inflation of 8.1% Source: Ghana Statistical Service,
7 MONETARY POLICY RATE The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Bank of Ghana, reduced the policy rate by 200 basis points to 18% at the end of the first quarter in The committee cited subdued core inflation, stable prices and positive growth outlook as basis for the reduction. POLICY RATE TREND The Committee observed that the pace of global growth has been firmed up. Global financing conditions remains favourable sustained by relative low interest rate in most advanced economies. The outlook for growth, in the near term remains positive supported by crude oil production, gradual recovery in the non-oil sector and favourable business and consumer sentiments. Although, the pace of the growth reflects some improvements, it is still below the potential due to moderated credit growth which is largely dependent on nonperforming loans, tighter credit conditions and corrections in the balance sheets in the banking sector. The disinflation process continued to improve over the first two months with significant moderation in price pressures. Headline inflation and core inflation reduced alongside easing inflation expectation, an indication that the disinflation process remains well anchored. Source: Bank of Ghana,
