Increased turnover
Total turnover in Norwegian manufacturing amounted to almost NOK 179 billion in the period June to August, a 24.7 per cent increase from the same period in 2005. All the main industrial groupings experienced positive growth and were most pronounced within capital goods.
Turnover in Norwegian oil and gas extraction amounted to approximately NOK 45 billion in August, an increase of 12.2 per cent compared with August last year. It is the high crude oil (Brent blend) that gives the turnover such a boost. The average price of oil was NOK 413 per barrel in August, compared with NOK 461 in August last year, according to external trade figures .
Growth in most of the main industrial groupings
Seasonal adjusted figures show a distinct increase in all the main industrial groupings except in the energy goods in the period June to August compared with the previous three months period. For the capital goods, the export market contributed to increased turnover. For the intermediate goods and the consumer goods both the markets contributed to this development.
