Increased value of industrial output

Sales of domestically produced goods increased by just over 6.5 per cent compared with 1999, measured in current prices. Some industry divisions had increases in oil- and prices of raw material, which lead to the increased output of these products.

Commodity statistics for large mining, quarrying and manufacturing enterprises 1999- 2000

A large part of the increase in industrial output occurred within oil products refining, where the increase was just over NOK 14 billion compared with figures from 1999. This is mainly due to the upsurge in the price of oil in 2000.

Higher raw material prices

The main reason for the increased value of output for metals and chemicals and chemical products is that the prices of these raw materials increased from 1999 to 2000. Wood and wood products increased by 20.5 per cent, and motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers with parts and accessories had an increase of 33.2 per cent.

The division with the largest decline is other transport. This is du to the fact that fewer ships where built and that the manufacturing of structures and platforms decreased.

Increased output for textiles and textile products and furniture

The declines in the manufacturing of textiles and textile products and furniture have stopped and turned to a rise of about 10 per cent for both divisions from 1999 to 2000.

If we compare identical enterprises, i.e. enterprises that were included in the manufacturing statistics in 1999 and 2000, and exclude the oil refineries, the sale of domestically produced commodities rose slightly in the course of 2000 (3.5 per cent).

The commodity figures are based on information from the 2 459 largest enterprises classified under manufacturing and mining and quarrying. These enterprises accounted for just about 90 per cent of the total industrial output in 2000.

The enterprise is the data and analysis unit in the commodity statistics, and is the smallest accountable unit. An enterprise may, however, consist of several companies or production plants active in various industries, while a group may consist of several enterprises.
