About the statistics

The information under «About the statistics» was last updated 10 March 2025.

Price refers to actual retail price of goods and services offered to households. This means prices including indirect taxes, fees and subsidies. Discounts and sale prices are registered.

Price reference month defines the time of reference for new weights, updated sample and base prices used for calculation in the following year.

Budget shares are proportional to the consumption of a certain good and consumption in total in households. Expenditure shares are obtained from the consumtion in houshold in National Accounts, and is used as weights in the CPI.

Seasonal goods are products that are only or to a small extent available at certain times of the year. Examples are fruit, vegetables and certain clothing products. Observed prices are used in season, while out of season the prices are in most cases estimated.

Imputed price is a price estimated for a missing price based on other price observations of the same products.

A Laspeyres price index is a price index where the base-period weights remain fixed. A chained Laspeyres price index is an index linked by Laspeyres indices with different sets of weights. New sets of weights are incorporated into the index every year. A Paasche price index also uses fixed weights but, unlike the Laspeyres price index, the weights are from actual current period. A pure Paasche price index is not used in the CPI

A Fisher price index is a geometric mean of a Laspeyres and Paasche price index. The Fisher price index is used in the CPI for the index of motor vehicles and indices of alcoholic beverages sold through the State wine and liquor monopoly.

ECOICOP (European Classification of individual consumption by purpose) is a consumer classification developed by UN and EUROSTAT. The classification criteria is the end purpose of the consumption.

CPI-AE (CPI excluding energy products) is an indicator where the price material and the weight of the energy products (i.e. electricity, heat energy, liquid and solid fuels together with motor oil, petrol and diesel) are taken out. Other computations are identical with the computation process of the CPI.

CPI-AEL (CPI excluding electricity) is an indicator where the price material and the weight of the electricity including grid rent is excluded. Other computations are identical with the computation process of the CPI.

CPI-AT (CPI adjusted for tax changes) is an indicator where the weights and the calculations are identical to the CPI. The CPI-AT is also based on actual, observed prices, but those are adjusted for real changes in taxes. The CPI-AT takes into account the following taxes:

  1. Value added tax
  2. Alcohol tax
  3. Tobacco tax
  4. Petrol tax
  5. Diesel tax
  6. Electricity tax
  7. Taxes on mineral products
  8. Tax on non-alcoholic beverages
  9. Sugar tax
  10. Tax on disposable beverage packing
  11. Aviation tax - Terminal and security charge
  12. Purchase tax on vehicles: weight- , piston displacement and motor effect tax

CPI-ATE (CPI adjusted for tax changes and excluding energy products) is an indicator that is built upon the main components of CPI-AE and CPI-AT.

CPI-XADM (CPI excluding administered prices) is an indicator where the price material and the weight of goods and services where prices are directly set or influenced to a significant extent by the government is excluded. Otherwise the computation process is identical to the CPI.

CPI-XADM is built according to EUROSTATs harmonised index of consumer prices – administered prices (HICP-AP) which are analytical indices that provide a summary of the development of product prices that are directly set or influenced to a significant extent by the government. The following prices are considered as administred:

1. Administered prices
2. Alchoholic beverages from Vinmonopolet (the Norwegian monopoly for wine and spirits)
3. Rents
4. Energy goods: grid rent and district heating
5. Municipal fees
6. Social care services: kindergartens, after-school program and home-based care
7. Public healthcare services
8. Letter postage
9. Books
10. Semester fee for public higher education
11. Toll road fee and municipal parking charge
12. Cultural services: opera and theater
13. Government fees
14. Prescription medication
15.Transport services: rail transport, bus, boat, and tax

CPI-AT-XADM (CPI adjusted for tax changes and adminstered prices) is an indicator that is built upon the main components of CPI-AT and CPI-ADM.

CPI-ATE-XADM (CPI adjusted for tax changes and excluding energy products and adminstered prices) is an indicator that is built upon the main components of CPI-ATE and CPI-ADM.

The Harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP)

HICP reflects the development of consumer prices for goods and services demanded by private households (including tourists) within the economic area of a country. The HICP is calculated according to harmonized standards, making it suitable for comparing price developments between European countries.

Eurozone consists of EU Member States which participate in the Euro Cooperation; Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain.

EU - the European Union - consists of the Euro-zone Member States in addition to Denmark, Sweden, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Czech Republic.

EEA - the European Economic Area - includes all the EU Member States in addition to Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

"Domestic concept" - HICP covers purchases of goods and services from all kinds of private households (including tourists) inside the economic territory of a Member State.

HICP-CT, harmonized index of consumer prices with constant taxes, is an indicator where the weights and the calculations are identical to the HICP. The HICP-CT is also based on actual, observed prices, but those are adjusted for nominal changes in tax rates (except value added tax). The HICP-CT takes into account the same taxes as the CPI-AT.
