Growth in the HICP

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway increased by 0.6 per cent from May to June 2009. Higher airline fares, higher prices on fuel and lubricants and package holidays contributed most to the increase, while clothing prices dampened the increase in the HICP.

The HICP for Norway was 109.9 (2005=100) in June 2009, compared with 106.2 in the same month last year. The year-to-year growth was 3.5 per cent in June 2009, up 0.6 percentage points from May. See the consumer price index for more details.
