Index of orders in manufacturing (discontinued), Q1 2012

Statistics Norway has decided to stop the publication of the Index of orders in manufacturing from the first quarter of 2018. One reason for this was that the statistic previously was a part of Eurostat's regulation for short-term statistics, but this requirement was removed from the regulation in 2012. However, indicators for new orders and stock of orders are available in Business tendency survey for manufacturing, mining and quarrying.

Further fall in new orders

New orders in the manufacturing industry fell for the third successive quarter in the first quarter of 2012. Unfilled orders fell slightly from the fourth quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012, but the reduction was less than in the previous survey.

Order-based manufacturing reports a further fall in the new orders. New orders fell by 3.5 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012 due to lower demand from the domestic market. This mainly applied to the industries for fabricated metal products, computer and electrical equipment and machinery and equipment. New orders in the manufacturing industry were almost 7 per cent lower in the first quarter of 2012 than in the first quarter of 2011.

Unfilled orders were down by 1.5 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012. This was mainly caused by reduced unfilled orders within paper and paper products, basic metals and repair, installation of machinery. However, the level of unfilled orders was 11 per cent higher than in the corresponding period last year.
