Construction, new orders (discontinued), Q3 2015

Statistics Norway has decided to stop the publication of the Construction, new orders 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.

The inflow of new orders in the building and construction industry rose by 15 per cent between the 3rd quarter of 2014 and the 3rd quarter of 2015. The 37 per cent increase in the civil engineering industry was the highest growth in the inflow of new projects. The corresponding figure for building projects was 7 per cent growth.

Compared to the 2nd quarter of 2015, the inflow of new orders for the total building and construction industry decreased by 12 per cent.

The order reserves for the total construction industry were 8 per cent higher compared to the 3rd quarter of 2014. The increase is mainly due to reserves in building projects, which rose by 26 per cent.

Between the 2nd and 3rd quarter, the reserve had a small increase of 2 per cent.
