Continued increase in manufacturing

Total turnover in Norwegian manufacturing increased again in August. Seasonally adjusted figures show turnover growth in three of the four main industrial groupings. Figures for the fourth industrial grouping, intermediate goods, show stable turnover compared with the previous three-month period.

Turnover within the Norwegian oil and gas extraction industry was somewhat lower than last month. Total turnover amounted to slightly over NOK 34 billion in August. Despite a high average price of oil, NOK 304 per barrel in August, the decrease in volume was so significant that the total turnover dropped. The turnover dropped mainly due to maintenance work and high export volumes in July.
