It can have a devastating impact on the political landscape. In countries where there is a great deal of transparency and governments don't have a monopoly over information, and thus the citizens can make informed decisions, presidents or elected officials can lose elections because of inflation. A great deal of the ambiguity surrounding inflation has to do with measurement problems. Thus despite their importance, published statistics are sometimes inaccurate. Thus we have to be very careful about our interpretation of statistics.
Several factors affect inflation in Ghana.
In Ghana, food prices and oil prices are the two most statistically important factors. Inflation measures an increase in the overall price level while sustained inflation is an increase in the overall price level that continues over a significant period of time. So in order for the drop in inflation to have any impact on average Ghanaians, it must be sustained. Besides, one point normally missed out in our consideration of inflation is that not all prices change at the same time. While prices of some goods and services may be declining, others may be increasing steadily or may remain constant.
