Index of orders in manufacturing (discontinued), Q1 2009

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.

Pronounced decline in new orders

More and more establishments are being affected by poorer demand. A high level of stocks within some industries is helping to soften the decline in the total level of activity.

New orders and unfilled orders. Unadjusted. 2005=100.

Manufacturers working on new orders reported a considerable fall in the new orders received. New orders received were 28.9 per cent lower in the first quarter of 2009 than in the corresponding quarter last year and can be said to be an average historically. Total stocks showed a similar course, but with a smaller decline. From the first quarter of 2008 to the first quarter of 2009, total stocks were down by 19.3 per cent. However, there are some industries (machine industry, building of boats and oil platforms) that have large enough stocks to maintain a high production volume ( Index of production ).

Important announcement: New industry classification
