Zimbabwe's annual inflation rate soared to 66,212.3% in December, according to official figures.
A shortage of fuel and basic goods helped propel the figure up from the 26,740.8% rate recorded for November.
Last year Zimbabwe's chief statistician said it was impossible to work out the country's inflation rate accurately because of the lack of goods in shops.
The country's economic crisis has led to an estimated three million people fleeing the country for South Africa.
About 80% of the population lives in poverty.
