Growth in new orders
The order based industry reports a 13 per cent growth in new orders received during the past year. There was an upswing in both the domestic marked and in the export market. The increase was strongest in the domestic market. The total stock of orders increased as well.
The total stock of orders has increased by 8 per cent compared with the same quarter last year. The increase is mainly caused by the domestic market.
Basic metals had an upswing in the value of total stock and for new orders received. In total the new orders received increased by 10 per cent compared with the same quarter last year. The growth for non-ferrous metals was less pronounced, with an increase of only 3 per cent. Higher prices for aluminium and copper explain this development.
