Electricity prices increased

The price index of first-hand domestic sales increased by 0.1 per cent from October to November. This was mainly caused by an increase in prices of electricity and food, but oil prices however declined.

Prices of mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials decreased by 2.9 per cent from October to November, but within this group price of electricity went up 27 per cent. Since July these prices of electricity increased about 80 per cent. Petroleum and petroleum products counteracted this with a 12.6 per cent decrease since last month.
