Building cost inflation in Ghana continued to ease in December 2025, marking the eighth straight month of declining prices in the construction sector, according to data from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS).
The report indicates that the cost of construction materials and related expenses has moderated, reflecting improvements in supply chains and stabilization in the prices of key inputs. This trend is expected to help reduce the overall cost of housing and infrastructure projects if it continues.
Analysts note that while this decline is a positive signal for developers, contractors, and homebuyers, external factors such as global commodity prices and foreign exchange fluctuations could still influence construction costs in the coming months.
The easing of building cost inflation may also benefit related sectors, including real estate, building materials manufacturing, and investment planning, by providing a more predictable cost environment for long-term projects.
Authorities and industry stakeholders continue to monitor developments closely to ensure that the positive trend supports affordable and sustainable construction across the country.
