Ghana Reference Rate falls to 10.04% in October as borrowing costs ease
- The Ghana Reference Rate (GRR) has fallen to 10.04% in October 2026, down from 10.18% in September, continuing a recent downward trend.
- This decline is primarily attributed to slight reductions in Treasury bill rates and interbank market rates.
- The movement in the GRR this year has been more influenced by fiscal and money-market conditions than the unchanged Monetary Policy Rate of 14%.
- The marginal decline offers relief to existing variable-rate borrowers and could benefit new borrowers through lower credit costs.
- Average lending rates have consequently fallen to around 15%, with some customers accessing credit between 11% and 12.5%.
