Index of orders in manufacturing (discontinued), Q4 2002

Statistics Norway has decided to stop the publication of the Index of orders in manufacturing from the first quarter of 2018. One reason for this was that the statistic previously was a part of Eurostat's regulation for short-term statistics, but this requirement was removed from the regulation in 2012. However, indicators for new orders and stock of orders are available in Business tendency survey for manufacturing, mining and quarrying.

Low stocks in manufacturing

Total stocks continued to decline throughout the 4th quarter of 2002 and are noticeably lower than in the corresponding quarter last year. On the other hand new orders show a growth and are almost back to the level from the first half of 2002.

New orders received and unfilled orders. Unadjusted. 1995=100.

Total stocks have declined in six of the last seven quarters. New orders were considerably up in the 4th quarter of 2002, but are somewhat unchanged compared with figures from the corresponding quarter last year. A growing demand in both domestic and export market can explain this.
