Index of orders in manufacturing (discontinued), Q4 2003

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.

New orders and unfilled orders. Unadjusted. 1995=100

It may look as if things made a turn for the better for Norwegian manufacturing in the fourth quarter of 2003. New orders received went up by 4.9 per cent compared with the fourth quarter of 2002. The positive development was mostly fuelled by the domestic market.
