Ghana central bank keeps rate unchanged as inflation eases
Governor Johnson Asiama said at the opening of the monetary policy committee meeting on Wednesday that while the inflation outlook was improving, it remained vulnerable to food supply constraints and external price shocks.
Consumer price inflation slowed for a fourth month in a row in April, to 21.2% year on year from 22.4% in March. It remains well above the Bank of Ghana's targets of 8% with a margin of error of 2 percentage points.
The gold, oil, and cocoa-producing West African nation is recovering from its most severe economic crisis in decades, facing challenges in its critical cocoa and gold industries.

Average two and five year mortgages below 5% for first time since 2023
The average five year mortgage rate has fallen below 5% for the first time in more than two years. The interest rate charged on a typical five-year fixed mortgage deal is now 4.99%, according to financial information company Moneyfacts. This is a low not seen since 3 May 2023, just a week before the interest-rate setters at the Bank of England raised their base rate to 4.5%. The current rate has been lowered to 4% in recent weeks. The base reduction made borrowing less expensive, as signs of a struggling economy were evident to the rate-setting central bankers, and despite inflation forecast to rise further. Money latest: WHSmith shares drop 40% after 'embarrassing error' The mortgage drop on Thursday came despite the high inflation reading for July, which muddied the path for further interest rate cuts. Economists are divided about whether a final reduction will be made this year, while traders anticipate no further cuts after the surprisingly high pace of inflation last month, according to London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) data.

Interest rate expectations can influence the terms that mortgage lenders offer. Last week, the average two-year mortgage rate also fell below 5%, for the first time since the Liz Truss mini-budget. The mini-budget's programme of unfunded spending and tax cuts, done without the commentary of independent watchdog the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), led to a steep rise in the cost of government borrowing and necessitated an intervention by monetary regulator the Bank of England to prevent a collapse of pension funds. It was also a key reason mortgage costs rose as high as they did - up to 6% for a typical two-year deal, in the weeks after the fiscal announcement. A typical two-year deal is now 4.97%.

Customers feeling raw after Tesco adds 25p to price of a meal deal
Tesco has put the price of its meal deal up by 25p, its third increase since 2022, as food prices across the UK continue to race higher. The meal deal now costs £3.85 for Clubcard holders. Customers who do not have a Tesco loyalty card will pay £4.25. The latest official inflation figures, released this week, showed that the price of food and non-alcoholic beverages rose 4.9% year on year in July, from 4.5% in the 12 months to June. Some retailers have chosen to pass on the soaring costs of ingredients to consumers. Heatwaves and droughts in parts of Spain, Italy and Portugal, where the UK sources a lot of its fresh fruit and vegetables, have pushed up prices this summer, at a time when they would usually fall. Beef, orange juice, coffee and chocolate were among the worst-hit products. Some shoppers expressed dismay at the price increase by the UK's biggest grocer. On X, one user wrote: 'Discovering that a Tesco meal deal will be £3.85 *with* a Clubcard from Thursday was truly devastating.' Another questioned whether it can still be termed a 'deal'. Tesco's sandwich, snack and drink deal had cost £3 for 10 years before prices jumped in October 2022, in the depths of the cost of living crisis.

In June, Sainsbury's increased the price of its standard offering from £3.75 to £3.95. It was the second time Sainsbury's had increased the price in under a year, after raisingit by 25p in July 2024. The Tesco deal still offers significant savings, depending on the meal combination. A shopper who selected a brie and smoked bacon sandwich with chilli jam, which costs £3.25 when sold alone, as the main meal, vegetable samosa for £1.75 as the snack, and a Naked smoothie for £2.90 , would save £4.05 with a Clubcard, and £3.65 without. That combination would cost £7.90 without the deal. On Thursday, more than 60 chief executives of Britain's biggest retailers, including Tesco, Sainsbury's, John Lewis and Boots, wrote to the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, to warn her that further taxes on businesses in the autumn budget could contradict her plans to improve UK living standards. They suggested that food price inflation could hit 6% this year, arguing that they will not be able to 'absorb' further tax rises, instead passing the higher costs on to shoppers. Retailers have repeatedly bemoaned the impact of Reeves' increase to employer national insurance contributions, while an increase to the national minimum wage in April also raised labour costs. The retailers said in the letter, sent by the British Retail Consortium: 'Labour's manifesto made a clear and welcome promise to deliver good jobs and higher living standards but if future policy decisions lead to rising prices and fewer jobs, then those commitments are at risk.'

Half of savings accounts losing customers money
More than half of savings accounts are effectively losing their customers money as their interest rates fall well below inflation. The latest inflation data on Wednesday showed that prices had risen at an annual rate of 3.8pc in July, up from 3.6pc in June and higher than the expected 3.7pc. Of the 2,004 savings accounts on the market, just 956 offered interest rates higher than this – of which nearly 500 were fixed-rate bonds, which require money to be locked away for a certain period of time. The average savings rate is currently 3.47pc, according to financial analysts Moneyfacts. On savings of £100,000 over the course of a year, this would mean a drop in value of nearly £350. Just 85 easy access savings accounts were above the inflation threshold as of August 20, meaning millions of savers will see their money lose value. Derek Sprawling, managing director of savings platform Spring, warned that as many as eight in ten easy access accounts come with additional restrictions. He said: 'Three quarters of savers keep their money with an account offered by their current account provider and these typically offer poor rates of return or a myriad of restrictions, such as tiered rates or penalties for withdrawals.' Savers looking to beat inflation with their returns face a more difficult task as interest rates continue to drop. Compared to August last year, there are 333 fewer inflation-busting savings accounts. The Bank of England chose to cut the Bank Rate from 4.25pc to 4pc at its August meeting, its third cut of the year so far. Further cuts could be delayed until 2026 by higher-than-expected inflation, economists said earlier this week.
