Harmonized index down 0.2 per cent

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway was 111.0 (1996=100) in December 2000, a decrease of 0.2 per cent from November. From December 1999 to December 2000 the HICP increased by 2.7 per cent compared with 3.1 per cent in November.

The decrease from November to December is mainly due to lower prices of petrol, audiovisual equipment, hotel services and footwear. Higher tariffs on electricity and increased prices of food limited the decrease in consumer prices in December.

Highest growth

The HICP for the EEA was 107.5 in November, up 0.3 per cent from October. The year to year growth was 2.6 per cent in November. The prices of housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels have had the highest increase by 5.3 per cent. In Ireland the prices have gone up by 12.3 per cent while in the United Kingdom the prices only increased by 1.2 per cent in the same period.

The prices of transport rose by 4.9 per cent while education went up by 3.9 per cent.

Lowest growth

In the EEA the prices of communication have dropped by 4.4 per cent from November 1999 to November last year.
