Ghana’s economy expanded by a provisional 3.8% in October 2025, up from 3.0% in October 2024, per the Ghana Statistical Service’s (GSS) Monthly Indicator of Economic Growth (MIEG).
This year-on-year gain signals stronger output, fueled mainly by services and industry.
Services Lead the Charge
The services sector grew 5.5% slightly off 5.6% from last year but dominated with 74.7% of total growth. Communication, wholesale, and retail trade drove this resilience.
Industry Rebounds Strongly
Industry surged to 3.0% growth from just 0.4% a year prior, accounting for 28.7% of the month’s expansion and highlighting broader industrial gains.
Agriculture Lags Behind
Agriculture slowed to 0.9% from 2.1%, contributing only 1.3% to overall growth amid subdued activity.
The MIEG underscores steady recovery through robust services and improving industry, despite agricultural weakness. GSS says it offers timely insights into short-term trends, supporting quarterly and annual GDP analysis for policy.
