Index of orders in manufacturing (discontinued), Q4 2014

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.

Reduction in domestic orders

New orders received were down 8.8 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2013 to the fourth quarter of 2014 due to fewer new orders in the domestic market. The stock of orders was up by 2.3 per cent in the same period.

New orders received were down 17.9 per cent in the domestic market from the fourth quarter of 2013 to the fourth quarter of 2014. This was the reason for the decline in the new orders in the manufacturing industry. The total stock of orders was up by 2.3 per cent, driven by the export market. This was partly due to the weakened NOK and the resulting positive effects for a few big players. Total stocks of orders were down by 10 per cent in the domestic market.
