No change in new orders
The order-based industry reports that new orders received continued to show stable development throughout the first quarter of 2002. The downturn in total stock of orders seems to be levelling out.
New orders remained more or less unchanged throughout the first quarter of 2002. Recorded numbers show that total demands from export markets reached the lowest level since the second quarter of 1999, but this decline shows signs of levelling out. The positive development in the home market is mainly due to a major project within the industry Oil Platforms and Modules. Total stock of orders remained fairly stable throughout the first quarter of 2002, but was 5 per cent lower than in the corresponding quarter of 2001.
