Norway's CCI slows as forecast in February

Consumer price inflation in Norway slowed down, matching economists' predictions mainly due to a 1.1% fall of food and non-alcoholic beverages and a 2.6% drop of footwear and clothing prices. The rate of growth of consumer price index slowed from 1.3% in January to 1% in February, while core consumer prices rose 1.1% annually in the same month, slower than preliminary estimated 1.2%.
