Ghana’s inflation rate has fallen to its lowest in 19 months, standing at 26.4% in November compared to 35.2% in the previous month, the statistics service has said.

It reached a 22-year high of 54.1% last December.

In May, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved a $3bn (£2.4bn) bailout to help the country cope with its worst economic crisis in a generation.
