Index of orders in manufacturing (discontinued), Q4 2015

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.

Downgraded new orders received in the third quarter of 2015Open and readClose

Due to a revision in the figures from a large company within producers of ships and oil platforms the new orders received are significantly downgraded in the third quarter of 2015. This especially applies for producers of ships and oil platforms, but it also affects the total in new orders received. Statistics of new orders are routinely revised in the two previous periods at every release.
