Index of orders in manufacturing (discontinued), Q2 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.

Moderate decline in new orders

Compared with the previous quarter, recorded figures show that new orders fell in the second quarter of 2004 whereas stocks remained unchanged.

The figures show a moderate decline in new orders in the second quarter of 2004 compared with the previous survey. Falling demand in the export market is the main reason for this development. However, the level of new orders is markedly higher than in the second quarter of 2003, both in the domestic market and the export market. Stocks are also somewhat higher than in the corresponding quarter last year.
