Harmonized index down 1.6 per cent

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway was 112.4 (1996=100) in July 2001, a decease of 1.6 per cent from June. From July 2000 to July 2001 the HICP increased by 2.2 per cent compared with 3.3 per cent in June.

Extensive changes in the VAT system, lower prices of petrol and sales activity of clothing and footwear contributed to the decrease in the HICP.
