Increase in HICP
The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway increased by 0,4 per cent from October to November 2009. The rise in HICP was mostly due to higher prices of electricity, fuels and food, while lower airline fares contributed in the opposite direction.
The HICP for Norway was 110.1 (2005=100) in November 2009, compared to 108.0 in the same month last year. The year-to-year growth was 1.9 per cent in November 2009, up 1.1 percentage points from October.
See the consumer price index for more details.
