Increase in prices of electricity

The Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for Norway rose by 1.6 per cent from August to September 2006. The increase was mainly due to higher prices of electricity and price increase of clothes and footwear after summer sale.

The HICP for Norway was 103.8 (2005=100) in September 2006, compared with 100.8 in September 2005. The year-to-year growth for HICP in September was 3.0 per cent, up from 2.1 per cent in August 2006. See the Consumer Price Index for more details.
