Footnotes:

1) CPIX is the CPI excluding transitory effects (from house mortgage interest expenditure and the net of indirect taxes and subsidies) that are normally of little consequence for monetary policy.
2) HICP, the harmonized index of consumer prices for EU member states, excludes for the time beeing certain items that are treated differently in different countries; the exclusion of house mortgage interest expenditure is the main difference from Sweden's CPI.
3) NPI represents consumer price excluding the net effect of indirect taxes and subsidies.
