Three-month change: rise within machinery and equipment
Seasonally-adjusted figures showed that the turnover in Norwegian manufacturing increased by 1.0 per cent in the period December 2017 to February 2018 compared with the previous three-month period. Much of the increase in turnover stems from machinery and equipment. The industry grouping refined petroleum, chemicals and pharmaceutical products also contributed to this development.
On the other hand, computer and electrical equipment had the greatest impact on curbing the positive development in total turnover.

Monthly change: refined petroleum, chemicals and pharmaceutical products pull down turnover
Total Norwegian manufacturing turnover showed a decrease of 0.7 per cent from January 2018 to February 2018, according to seasonally-adjusted figures. The biggest contribution to this development comes from the industry grouping refined petroleum, chemicals and pharmaceuticals products.
On the other hand, food products and beverages had the greatest impact on curbing the negative development in total turnover.
Monthly change: decrease in Norway and in the euro area in January 2018
Total turnover in Norwegian manufacturing went down 2.4 per cent from December 2017 to January 2018, according to seasonally-adjusted figures. Manufacturing in the euro area was down 0.1 per cent in January 2018. In the Nordic countries, the turnover in Denmark and Sweden was up by 1.5 and 2.3 respectively, according to Eurostat.
