ACCRA (Reuters) - Ghana's central bank on Friday kept its main interest rate at 27.00% after consumer inflation rose for the second month in a row in October.

Inflation was 22.1% year-on-year in October, up from 21.5% in September.

"Inflation projections show a slightly elevated profile driven by high and unstable food prices," the central bank said in a statement.
