Ghana's inflation rate for September dropped to 9.4%, from 9.5% the previous month, the country's Statistical Service announced Wednesday.

The monthly change rate for September 2012 was -1.5%; that is, the general price level declined by 1.5% between August and September 2012 compared to a decline of 0.8% between July and August 2012.

Food and non-alcoholic beverages group recorded an average year-on-year inflation rate of 4.4%, the same as recorded in August 2012.

Eight sub-groups of the food and non-alcoholic beverages group recorded inflation rates above the group's average inflation rate of 4.4%.

The non-food group recorded a year-on-year inflation rate of 12.4%. Seven sub- groups recorded year on- year inflation rates above the group's average rate.

Transport recorded the highest rate of 20.6% followed by Alcoholic beverages, tobacco and narcotics with 16.7%. Inflation was lowest in the Communication group (below 1%).
