Growth in total stocks

Total stocks showed a moderate rise throughout the fourth quarter of 2001. Stocks of both finished and unfinished goods were considerably higher than in the corresponding quarter in 2000.

Stock volume. Changes in one year

Total stocks were up 25 per cent, measured in current prices, compared with the fourth quarter of 2000. In fixed prices this amounts to a rise of 29 per cent. Compared with the corresponding quarter in 2000, stocks of finished and unfinished goods showed a growth rate of 19 and 30 per cent. However, it is important to take into account that the level of unfinished goods was unusually low throughout this period. Revised data show that the decline in total stocks throughout the third quarter of 2001 was much more moderate than previously expected. In spite of this, total stocks were up throughout the final months of 2001.
