Specifically, Frimpong and Oteng-Abayie (2010) estimate an 11 percent threshold; Quartey (2010) find a 22.2 percent inflation threshold; Marbuah (2011) establishes a 10 percent inflation threshold for Ghana; Mireku (2012) estimates a 9 percent inflation threshold level; and Ayisi et al (2013) finds a 21 percent inflation threshold.…”

This paper investigates the relationship between inflation and economic growth for South Africa and Ghana using quarterly empirical data collected from 2001 to 2016 applied to the quantile regression method. For our full sample estimates we find that inflation is positively related with growth in Ghana at high inflation levels whilst inflation in South Africa exerts its least adverse effects at high inflation levels. However, when particularly focusing on the post-crisis period, we find inflation exerts negative effects at all levels of inflation for both countries with inflation having its least adverse effects at high levels for Ghana and at moderate levels for South Arica. Based on these findings bear important implications for inflation targeting frameworks adopted by Central Banks in both countries.
