Strong decrease in harmonized index

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway fell by 1.4 per cent from January 2003 to January 2004. The price decrease was mainly caused by a strong fall in the tariffs on electricity from January 2003 to January 2004.

The HICP was 115.9 (1996=100) in January, up 0.1 per cent from December. Please see the Consumer Price Index for more details.
