Norvegia Tasso Di Inflazione

The annual consumer inflation rate in Norway edged up to 2.3% in January 2025, slightly above December's four-year low of 2.2% and the central bank’s 2% target. The uptick was driven by faster price growth in key categories, including food and non-alcoholic beverages (5% vs. 4% in December), housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels (2% vs. 1.9%), and transport (1.3% vs. 1.1%). Inflation also rose for furnishings, household equipment, and routine maintenance (1.1% vs. 0.5%) and health (5.2% vs. 4.9%). In contrast, the main downward pressure came from a sharp decline in clothing and footwear costs (-1.2% vs. 0.2%). Meanwhile, the CPI adjusted for tax changes and excluding energy products (CPI-ATE) increased by 2.8% year-on-year and 0.1% month-on-month, compared to 2.7% and a 0.1% decline in December, respectively. On a monthly basis, the headline CPI rose 0.2%, following a 0.1% drop in the prior period.
