Construction, new orders (discontinued), Q2 2016

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.

Several large housing projects in Oslo, Akershus and Trøndelag contributed to this strong growth in the inflow of orders. The value of new housing projects was 40 per cent higher than the 2nd quarter of 2015 measured in current value.

Following a growth in inflow in new civil engineering projects at the beginning of 2016, the 2nd quarter saw a decrease. The contractors’ inflow was 24 per cent lower than in the 2nd quarter of 2015.

At the end of the 2nd quarter, the value of reserves was almost unchanged compared to the corresponding year.

The total value of order reserves for the building and construction industry increased by 9 per cent from the 2nd quarter of 2015.
