Higher prices on electricity and food

The harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) for Norway rose by 0.7 per cent from June to July 2008. This was mainly caused by higher prices of electricity and food. Seasonal sales on clothing and offers on hotel services pulled HICP in the opposite direction.
