Index of orders in manufacturing (discontinued), Q1 2004

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.

Stable level of new orders

The level of new orders and stocks increased slightly in the first quarter of 2004. The figures for new orders in the basic metals, basic chemicals, and machinery and equipment industries were particularly postive, driven by stronger demand in the export market.

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

The increased level of new orders for the industries mentioned above makes up for the decline experienced by other industries, and results in a total level of new orders which is slightly up compared with the fourth quarter of 2003.
