Important announcement: New classification being implemented shortly

As of the first quarter of 2009, a new version of Norwegian industry classification (SIC2007) will be used. The classification is in accordance with the EC’s new NACE rev.2 classification. This enables comparability across borders.

The price index for car rental will from now on be published together with all the price indices in the group of Business activities, which consists of sections for “Professional, Scientific and Technical activities” and “Administrative and Support service activities”.

Users are welcome to forward enquiries about the transition to a new industry classification by contacting the responsible person for this index (see the left margin under “contacts”)
