No change in HICP

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway remained unchanged from March to April 2012. Increased prices for books and package holidays contributed to growth in the HICP, but the effect was offset by lower food prices.

Harmonized index of consumer prices

The HICP for Norway was 114.0 (2005=100) in April 2012 compared to 114.1 in April 2011. This implies a negative year-to-year growth equal to 0.1 per cent, down 0.6 percentage points from March.

See the consumer price index for more details.

EU, EEA and the euro area

Preliminary data for March 2012 show that the HICP for the EU and EEA was 118.0, while the HICP for the euro area was 115.5. The preliminary year-to-year growth in the HICP for March was 2.9 per cent for both the EU and EEA, and 2.7 per cent for the euro area. The year-to-year growth for April 2012 in the euro area is estimated at 2.6 per cent.

Detailed figures for April will be published on Eurostat’s website on 16 May.
