Harmonized index down to 1.9 per cent

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway was 112.8 (1996=100) in September 2001, an increase of 0.6 per cent from August. From September 2000 to September 2001 the HICP increased by 1.9 per cent while it was 2.2 per cent in August.

The increase from August to September is mainly due to higher rentals and higher prices of clothing and footwear. Increased petrol prices and higher educational expenditures contributed to the price growth in September as well. See the article for the Consumer Price Index for September for more details.
