Continuous decrease in HICP
The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway fell by 0.2 per cent from June to July 2007. The main contributor to the fall was price decreases for clothing and footwear due to seasonal sales.
The HICP for Norway was 102.9 (2005=100) in July this year, compared with 102.2 in July last year. The year-to-year growth for HICP in July was 0.7 per cent, the same as in June 2007. See http://www.ssb.no/kpi_en/ for more details.
