HICP up 0.3 per cent

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway increased by 0.3 per cent from April to May 2009. Higher fuel and food prices contributed most to the increase, while prices of electricity and airline fares dampened the increase.

The HICP for Norway was 109.2 (2005=100) in May 2009, compared with 106.1 in the same month last year. The year-to-year growth was 2.9 per cent in May 2009, unchanged from April. See the consumer price index for more details.
