Decrease the last twelve months

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway fell by 0.3 per cent from September 2006 to September 2007. The decrease was mainly caused by the large decrease in the price of electricity the last twelve months.

harmonized index of consumer prices

The HICP for Norway was 103,5 (2005=100) in September this year, which is a 0,7 per cent increase from previous month. Higher prices on clothing and transport services, especially air travel, contributed most to the rise, while lower fuel prices pulled in the opposite direction.
