HICP down 0.1 per cent

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway decreased by 0.1 per cent from February to March 2012. A fall in the electricity prices was the main contributor to the decline, while increased prices of clothing and footwear pulled the index in the opposite direction.

The HICP for Norway was 114.0 (2005=100) in March 2012 compared to 113.4 in March 2011. The year-to-year growth in March was 0.5 per cent, down 0.5 percentage points from February.
