A decline was recorded for both new orders received and total stocks in the third quarter of 2003, 4 and 6 per cent respectively compared with the second quarter of 2003. The decline is relatively extensive and it is especially the domestic market that fails. The industries Manufacture of Fabricated Metal Products, Transport Equipment and Oil Platforms were the main contributors to this development
