HICP up 0.4 per cent

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway increased by 0.4 per cent from November to December 2012. Increased electricity prices contributed most to the rise, while lower prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages pulled the HICP in the opposite direction.

The HICP for Norway was 114.5 (2005=100) in December 2012, compared to 113.2 in December 2011. The year-to-year growth was 1.1 per cent in December, up 0.2 percentage points from November.

See the consumer price index for more details.
