No change in HICP

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway remained unchanged from April to May 2012. Increased prices for food and airline fares contributed to growth in the HICP, but the effect was offset by lower prices of electricity including grid rent.

Harmonized index of consumer prices

The HICP for Norway was 114.0 (2005=100) in May 2012 compared to 113.8 in May 2011. This equates to a year-to-year growth of 0.2 per cent, up 0.3 percentage points from April.

See the consumer price index for more details.

EU, EEA and the euro area

Preliminary data for April 2012 show that the HICP for the EU and EEA was 118.6 and 118.5 respectively, while the HICP for the euro area was 116.0. The preliminary year-to-year growth in the HICP for April was 2.7 per cent for both the EU and EEA, and 2.6 per cent for the euro area. The year-to-year growth for May 2012 in the euro area is estimated at 2.4 per cent.

Detailed figures for May will be published on Eurostat’s website on 14 June.
