Inflation has hit a record 17% in November - the highest in the last four years, according to the Ghana Statistical Service.
The Service said the marginal increase against October�s 16.9% was due to the rate at which the prices of food and services hiked.
The figure is a further indication that the ruling National Democratic Congress government will almost certainly miss its full-year 2014 target of 13 percent, plus or minus 2 percentage points.
According to the deputy Government Statistician Baah Wadeah, prices of food rose by 0.1%, increasing from 6.5% to 6.6% in October and November respectively.
Although the local currency - the Ghana Cedi - has stabilised marginally against the dollar since August, inflation rate keeps increasing steadily. In September the rate was around 16.5%.
In Greater Accra, inflation hit 16.3% as against 19.5% in the Central region with the Upper West region recording the lowest at 13.1%.
