Harmonized index up 0.1 per cent

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway was 110.8 (1996=100) in October, an increase of 0.1 per cent from September. From October 1999 to October this year the HICP increased by 3.1 per cent compared with 3.6 per cent in September.

The increase from September to October is mainly due to higher tariffs on electricity and increased prices of clothing, footwear, airline tickets, insurance, paraffin and heating oil. A decrease in prices of petrol and lower rentals for housing pulled in the opposite direction.

Increased prices

The HICP for the EEA was 107.2 in September, up 0.6 per cent from August. From September last year to September this year the prices have increased by 2.5 per cent. The prices of transport have had the highest increase by 5.2 per cent. Especially Belgium and Greece have had a strong increase in the prices of transport. The last twelve months the prices on housing, water electricity, gas and other fuels have gone up by 4.8 per cent, while the prices of education have increased by 4.0 per cent.

Lower prices

In the EEA the prices of communication have dropped by 4.9 per cent, the last twelve months. The prices of communication have decreased most in Greece and Sweden while Finland has had a weak increase. In the same period there have also been a decrease in the prices of clothing and footwear by 0.5 per cent. The prices have dropped most in England and Denmark, while Greece and Spain have had an increase.
