Decrease in harmonized index

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway was 112.7 (1996=100) in November, a decrease of 0.1 per cent from October. The year-to-year change fell from 1.8 per cent in October to 1.3 per cent in November.

The price decrease from October to November is mainly caused by lower petrol prices. The strong decrease in the year-to-year change is due to the price developments of tariffs on electricity and the petrol prices. See the article for the Consumer Price Index in November for more details.

The HICP for the EEA was 109.6 (1996=100) in October, a decrease of 0.1 per cent from September. The year-to-year change in October was 2.2 per cent, down from 2.4 per cent in September. The HICP for the Euro-zone was also 109.6 in October and the year-to-year growth was 2.4 per cent.
