High level of stocks

Total stocks were considerably higher in the second quarter of 2008 than in the corresponding period last year. Increased stocks of unfinished goods contributed strongly to this development.

Stock volume. Changes in one year

In fixed prices, total stocks rose by 13.2 per cent from the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008, and were at a high level historically. Unusually high stocks of unfinished goods within transport equipment was the reason for this. The stocks of finished goods in the second quarter of 2008 were slightly higher than in the corresponding period last year.
