Index of orders in manufacturing (discontinued), Q2 2007

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 still at high level

The volume of new orders received by manufacturers decreased somewhat in the second quarter of 2007. However, the volume is still at a historically high level. Total stocks continued to rise in the second quarter.

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

Figures for the second quarter of 2007 indicate a small decline in new orders received (unadjusted figures) compared to the first quarter of 2007. Decreasing demand in the export market is a key factor behind this development. Compared to the second quarter last year, orders received have increased by a solid 17.9 per cent. A similar comparison for total stocks shows a strong increase of 43.9 per cent. Shortage in resources within some manufacturing industries ( Business tendency survey ) is a key factor behind the strong growth in total stocks.

For international comparisons, go to EUROSTAT .
