Construction, new orders (discontinued), Q4 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.

In civil engineering industry, new orders also increased, and the value rose by 27 per cent compared to the 4th quarter of 2015, measured in current value.

After a decline in the 3rd quarter, the value of new building and construction projects rose towards the end of 2016. As a total, the value of new orders increased by 24 per cent compared to the 4th quarter of 2015. The order reserves rose by 12 per cent in the same period.

The regional figures showed minor changes compared to the 3rd quarter of 2016. An exception here was the substantial growth in civil engineering order reserves for Agder. The main contributor to this was the major road project E-18 Arendal-Tvedestrand.
