Unchanged manufacturing turnover

The total turnover in Norwegian manufacturing was almost unchanged from June to August 2010 compared to the previous three-month period, according to seasonally-adjusted figures.

Index of turnover for manufacturing January 2001-August 2010, 2005=100

Index of turnover for manufacturing. Seasonally adjusted. Three-month average 2001-2010

The turnover in Norwegian manufacturing had a small increase of just 0.2 per cent. Among the industries that lifted turnover figures was the grouping rubber, plastic and mineral products, which showed a 9.6 per cent increase in turnover. Basic metals went up by 3.2 per cent mainly due to an increase in basic metal prices (see producer price index ). In addition, building of ships, boats and oil platforms had a 0.9 per cent increase. This industry also experienced a higher production volume in the last three-month period, (see the index of production ).

On the other hand, industries with a lower turnover included refined petroleum, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, down by 9.7 per cent in total. This can be explained by lower turnover within refined petroleum products, which is one of the components of this group. Machinery and installation as well as fabricated metal products also reduced their turnover by 3.6 and 3.0 per cent respectively.

Interpretation of seasonal adjusted figures

In order to facilitate the interpretation of the short-term development, Statistics on turnover publishes three-month moving averages of the seasonally-adjusted figures. We normally compare the latest non-overlapping three-month periods (for instance June to August compared with March to May).

Decrease in turnover from July to August 2010

The turnover in Norwegian manufacturing fell by 3.7 per cent from July to August 2010, according to seasonally-adjusted figures. Among the industries that contributed to this result were building of ships, boats and oil platforms. Figures from the previous period were particularly high due to several major deliveries. There was therefore a strong fall of 17 per cent in August. Computer and electrical equipment had a 2.4 per cent decrease, while the grouping repair, installation of machinery dropped by 3.5 per cent in the same period. The result within these last two industries can partially be explained by lower production volume registered in August, see (the index of production ).

Decrease in August 2010 compared to August 2009

Unadjusted figures showed a fall of 1.4 per cent in total manufacturing turnover in July 2010 compared to July 2009. The strongest fall was within machinery and equipment by 15 per cent, and for the industry related to building of ship, boats and oil platforms the fall was 9.4 per cent.

Norway and the Euro area

Unadjusted figures show that there was a 2.5 per cent increase in Norwegian manufacturing turnover from July 2009 to July 2010. Manufacturing turnover in the Euro area went up 7.9 per cent in the same period, according to figures published by Eurostat .
