In a promising development for Ghana's economy, the Whole Economy Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) nudged into expansion territory in October 2025. Data released on November 5, 2025, shows the PMI increasing from 49.80% in September to 50.30% in October, marking a significant milestone as it crosses the crucial 50.0% threshold that separates contraction from expansion.

The month-over-month comparison reveals that after a period of stagnation, where the PMI lingered just below the expansion mark, the current figure signals a positive turn for the country's economic activity. This slight yet pivotal increase indicates improving business conditions, suggesting enhanced confidence and potential growth in several sectors of the economy.

Economic analysts view this upward shift as a reflection of subtle improvements in supply chain efficiencies and demand recovery in domestic markets. The increase also positions Ghana favorably as it aims to stabilize and build on the country's economic resilience in the coming months. The new PMI reading becomes a beacon of hope, underscoring the collective efforts of various stakeholders in navigating the economic challenges facing the nation.
