Positive tendency in order situation
The order based industry reports a 24 per cent growth in new orders received during the past year. Compared with the last quarter the new orders received are greater in both the domestic and in the export market.
The total stock of orders has increased by 2 per cent compared with the same quarter last year. The increase is mainly caused by the export market.
Basic metals had an upswing in the value of the total stock and were a little bit down for new orders received. In total the new orders received increased by 25 per cent compared with the same quarter last year. The growth was most pronounced for non-ferrous metals, with a 28 per cent higher increase. Higher prices for aluminium, nickel and copper during the last four quarters have been a major contributor to this development.
