Index of orders in manufacturing (discontinued), Q4 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.

Still reduced stocks in industry

Total stocks in industry continued to fall in the fourth quarter of 2009. Lack of new orders within the industries building of ships, boats and oil platforms mainly contributed to the development.

New orders and unfilled orders. Unadjusted. 2005=100

Manufacturers working on new orders still reported a negative development in total stocks. Total stocks were 31.8 per cent lower in the fourth quarter of 2009 than in the corresponding quarter last year. The results were especially negative within machinery and equipment and ships, boats and oil platforms. Total stocks in industry are now at their lowest level since the third quarter of 2006.

The new orders received have fallen markedly since the start of 2007, but there are now signs indicating that the development is levelling out. Good figures from the industries chemicals and pharmaceutical products played a role in limiting the decline. New orders received in the fourth quarter of 2009 were 17.1 per cent lower than in the corresponding quarter in 2008.
