ACCRA - Ghana's annual consumer inflation rose to 50.3% in November, up from 40.4% the previous month, the statistics service said on Wednesday.

The rise in inflation comes a day after Ghana secured a staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a $3 billion support package over a three-year period.

Ghana approached the IMF in July to ask for help after rising prices and economic hardship spurred street protests.
