HICP up 1.2 per cent

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway rose by 1.2 per cent from January to February 2012. Increased prices of electricity and food contributed most to the rise, while lower prices of telephone services and books pulled the index in the opposite direction.

The HICP for Norway was 114.1 (2005=100) in February 2012 compared to 113.0 in February 2011. The year-to-year growth in February was 1.0 per cent, up 0.7 percentage points from January.
