Further reduced stocks in industry
Total stocks in industry continued to fall in the third quarter of 2009 and are now in a negative development. This is caused by few new orders in most of the industries.
Manufacturers working on new orders reported a negative development in total stocks. Total stocks were 33 per cent lower in the third quarter of 2009 than in the corresponding quarter last year. A negative development is recorded in most of the industries, but the results were especially negative within machinery and equipment and ships, boats and oil platforms. However, the decline in new orders received show signs of leveling out. Total stocks of orders fell less in the third quarter than in the second quarter of 2009.
