The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) has officially dismissed rumors regarding a GH¢6 increase in cement prices that were purported to take effect on January 19, 2026. In a public notice, GSA clarified that neither it nor the Cement Manufacturing Development Committee has issued any directives for such a price hike. Prof. George Agyei, the Director-General of the GSA, emphasized the importance of relying on verified information and urged consumers to consult official channels to avoid unnecessary market panic caused by misinformation. The GSA's statement serves as a reminder for the public to be cautious of unverified reports that can disrupt market stability.
