Stock volume. Changes in one year

Recorded numbers show that total stocks remained more or less unchanged throughout the first quarter of 2002. Total stocks were up 9 per cent, measured in current prices, compared with the first quarter of 2001. In fixed prices this amounts to a rise of 8 per cent. The variety among different industries is substantial, but all together recorded numbers show a decline in the stock of finished goods, but this is counteractive by an increase in the stocks of unfinished goods. The group Oil Platforms and Modules reports a considerable growth in the stocks of unfinished goods due to a high level of activity.
