Reduced stocks in manufacturing

Total stocks continued to decline in the fourth quarter of 2003. Stocks fell throughout the whole year – mainly attributable to a fall in new orders and lower production activity.

Total stocks have not been lower since the second quarter of 1996. The main contributors to the development in order-based manufacturing are the oil platforms and modules industry and the transport equipment industry, which both faced a decline in new orders in the first three quarters of 2003.
