The average selling price of a ball of kenkey has increased from GH¢3.87 to GH¢4.22, a 9.04% increase since December, and a 36.13% increase in one year. (More about this measure here: [link to Citi TV presentation: youtu.be/j8k1ulBD3I8?si…] #shrinkflation #inflation
Kenkey equivalent to the weight of a sachet of water would now cost you GH¢4.83, up from GH¢4.56 in December, and a 19.26% increase from a year ago. #Ghana #Accra #food #shrinkflation #inflation #disinflation

We out there searching for that elusive 2-cedi kenkey @Citi973 @citinewsroomgh
Ummmm....we're on the ground too. And we haven't seen 2-cedi kenkey in Accra since November. So, we're keen to know where honourable minister gets his kenkey, so that we too may go and get some. @Citi973 @benkoku #CitiCBS #shrinkflation

Did you know "Kormi" comes from "Corn Mill" or "Corn Meal"? Originally, Ga people called Kenkey "Otim." When Gordon Guggisberg introduced the corn mill machine, "Otim" became "Kormi” an adulterated version of the corn mill The second theory suggests that Kormi... #AsaaseRadio

Despite these illegalities, it’s shocking that the president’s directive is for the downstream contract to be renegotiated. Cancel it!

I discuss 7 things investors in #Ghana need to look out for this year. They are: 1. 2nd IMF disbursement 2. 2nd coupons on DDEP bonds 3. Industry GDP growth 4. BoG financing of govt 5. Banking stocks on GSE 6. Debt to IPPs 7. Election 2024 Read here ceditalk.com/2024/01/ghana-…

Next year, I’m gonna start my personal blog with purely data-driven content on Ghanaian policy issues. Creating such content would take tremendous amount of time and research. Hence, posts may be infrequent. But let’s try, and eventually, bring other people on board 🙏🏿
So let’s have some grace and patience in talking to each other. Nobody’s material conditions is written on their face. Ghana’s economy has produced a lot of educated poor. Don’t confuse tastes with means, especially when these sell for the same price as staples. cc @kenkeyindex
Mind you there’s a whole Twitter account dedicated to kenkey. Price of kenkey across Accra, price of kenkey per weight, month to month change in price of kenkey. If that’s the information you want it’s also there
The spat of words btwn Ghana's Central Bank governor & Opposition MPs (he calls them "hooligans") couldn't have come at a worse time. With govt struggling to convince the IMF to sign-off on the $600m tranche before they leave town rather than later in DC, such scenes don't help.
@kobina gets a mention in the story as well: The Kenkey Index, a project tracking the change in price and size of kenkey (dumplings), a carbohydrate-heavy go-to staple, found that the prices were increasing as the sizes got smaller. The most common price now is 4 cedis ($0.34),…
Great article by @Kwatrekwa on the impact of the economic crisis on people’s livelihoods. Cites data from the @kenkeyindex and the Ghana Earnings & Savings Survey (GESS 1).
Ghana is similar to some East Asian nations which failed to industrialize, and upon prescription of financial liberalization from the IMF, attracted foreign capital which went into luxury real estate, consumer lending, and fancy imports because there was no productive capacity.

There are two data scientists in my house right now. One fixes problems using VS code, RStudio, command line, docker, gitlab etc and the other fixes problems by disconnecting the power source. The latter is 9-months old.
Demand for housing is so steep that even for 1,000 cedis, a single room will get snapped up fast. Meanwhile there’s a whole section of the neighborhood full of empty apartments starting from $800/month. Surely it’s time for regulation.
