Harmonized index up 0.9 per cent

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway was 110.7 (1996=100) in September, an increase of 0.9 per cent from August. From September 1999 to September this year the HICP increased by 3.6 per cent compared with 3.5 per cent in August.

The increase from August to July is mainly due to increased prices of petrol, clothing, footwear and higher tariffs on electricity. The tariffs on electricity rose by 2.7 per cent the last month while the prices of clothes and footwear increased by 5.1 per cent. The prices of petrol went up by 4.4 per cent.

Lowest growth in England, Sweden and Germany

The HICP for the EEA remained unchanged from July to August. The year to year growth was 2.0 per cent in August after 2.2 per cent in July. In the European Monetary Union the year to year growth in August was 2.3 per cent after 2.4 per cent in July. Since August last year England, Sweden and Germany have had the lowest increase in prices in the EEA, 0.6, 1.4 and 1.8 per cent respectively. In England decrease in prices of clothing and footwear and lower prices of communication have contributed to the low growth in this period.

Highest growth in Ireland, Iceland and Luxembourg
