The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway fell 0.1 per cent from November to December 2014. Lower prices of food and alcoholic beverages, amongst others, contributed to pulling the HICP down, while higher prices of electricity including grid rent pulled the HICP in the opposite direction.
