Slight increase in manufacturing

Total turnover in Norwegian manufacturing amounted to NOK 41.5 billion in May. The average turnover in the past three months increased by 0.8 per cent when compared with the previous three-month period. Intermediate and capital goods contribute with positive figures, whereas the figures for consumer goods are negative.

Turnover within Norwegian oil and gas extraction came to NOK 33 billion in May, up 18.1 per cent compared with the same period in 2003. According to external trade figures, the average price of oil was NOK 259 per barrel in May 2004 compared with NOK 175 in May last year.

Continued rise in intermediate goods

Within the production of intermediate goods, there is still a positive development when compared to the previous three-month period. This is mainly due to an increase in basic metals and basic chemicals. The latter, though, experienced a decrease from April to May this year. Figures for pulp, paper and paper products show a slight decrease from the previous three-month period as well as from April to May.

Increase in capital goods

Compared with the previous three-month period, there has been a rise in the turnover of capital goods. All sectors apart from transport equipment show an increase during the period. Production of oil platforms and modules experienced the greatest increase within this particular grouping. From April to May, though, capital goods experienced a slight decrease in all sectors except for the production of oil platforms and modules.

Consumer goods down

The turnover of consumer goods had a negative effect on the total turnover in Norwegian manufacturing in the last three-month period. This is mainly due to poor figures within food products and publishing, printing and reproduction. Many industries within this particular industrial grouping were affected by strikes at the beginning of May.
