No change in new orders
The number of new orders received throughout the 2nd quarter 2001 was about the same as in the previous quarter, but slightly lower than 12 months before. The total stock of orders showed a moderate decline, but remained relatively high.
The order based industry reports that the total stock of orders once again seems to stabilise after a short period of turbulence. New orders received throughout the 2nd quarter 2001 were up 29 per cent compared with 12 months before, but all the same slightly lower than in the previous quarter. Whether this implies a round out or a future decline in total stock of orders is too early to tell.
