Export turnover in the industry of mining and quarrying decreased most strongly, by as much as 43.9 per cent. In the electrical and electronics industry, export turnover decreased by 11.1 per cent and in the textile, clothing and leather industry by 4.3 per cent from the previous year.

By contrast, domestic turnover decreased from the previous year in the industry of mining and quarrying, by 13.7 per cent, and in the textile, clothing and leather industry, by 0.2 per cent.

The index of turnover in industry describes enterprises whose main industry is manufacturing. The calculation of the indices is based on the Tax Administration’s self-assessed tax data which are supplemented with data obtained with Statistics Finland’s sales inquiry. The monthly turnovers of manufacturing enterprises can vary considerably, especially in the metal industries. The variation is mainly due to invoicing practices. The final invoice for major machinery deliveries and projects may be recorded in the sales of one month, even if the delivery had required the work of several months or years.

The factors caused by the variation in the number of weekdays are taken into account in adjustment for working days. This means taking into consideration the lengths of months, different weekdays and holidays. In addition, seasonal variation is eliminated from seasonally adjusted series, on account of which it makes sense to compare observations of two successive months as well.

The data for the latest month are preliminary and they may become significantly revised particularly on more detailed industry levels in coming months.
