Turnover is still growing

Seasonally-adjusted figures showed that the total turnover in Norwegian manufacturing increased by 0.8 per cent from June to August 2012 compared to the previous three-month period.

Selected industries. Seasonally adjusted. Three-month moving average 2005-2012.

Turnover within computer and electrical equipment increased by 4.7 per cent in this period, mainly due to a 13.6 per cent growth in turnover within the export market. Building of ships, boats and oil platforms went up by 1.4 per cent. Meanwhile, basic chemicals grew 17.6 per cent after an extensive revision stop at several installations in the preceding months.

Among industries with a fall in turnover were the grouping rubber, plastic and minerals, down 5.6 per cent. Non-ferrous metals fell by 2.3 per cent.

Unchanged turnover from July to August

Seasonally-adjusted figures showed that total Norwegian manufacturing turnover went up by 0.1 per cent from July to August 2012. The grouping refined petroleum, chemicals and pharmaceutical went up 2.7. This was partially due to higher prices within refined petroleum products and growth in turnover within basic chemicals.

On the other hand, industries with lower results included basic metals, falling 1.9 per cent. This was a result of a weaker international market and lower prices (see producer price index ). Paper and paper products also had a downturn, by 8.5 per cent. The fall within building of ships, boats and oil platforms from July to August is related to fewer large deliveries compared to the previous period.

Machinery and equipment growing strong

Unadjusted figures showed an increase of 5.8 per cent in total manufacturing turnover in August 2012 compared to August 2011. The largest growth in turnover was for machinery and equipment, up by a solid 26 per cent. This came as a result of higher volume and prices within this industry. Building of ships, boats and oil platforms went up by 23.5 per cent, followed by refined petroleum, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, up 15.3 per cent. The Producer price index showed that prices within refined petroleum products went up by 11.8 per cent in this period and contributed to a higher turnover for this grouping.

Industries with reduced turnover were basic metals, falling by 14 per cent compared to August 2011. Paper and paper products also fell, by 8.2 per cent.

Interpretation of seasonally-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. A comparison is normally made between the latest non-overlapping three-month periods (for instance March to May compared with June to August).

The relationship between production and turnover

The development in the turnover can be related to changes in both volume and prices in the different industries. Production to stocks and sales from stocks can also take place. Reporting of large deliveries of capital goods can contribute to differences in the development in the index of production and the statistics on turnover.
