HICP down 0.2 per cent

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway fell by 0.2 per cent from December 2013 to January 2014. Lower prices of clothes, airfares and furniture contributed most to the decrease, while higher prices on food and non-alcoholic beverages pulled the HICP in the opposite direction.
