Orders have declined continuously for one year.
The orders went down by 11.6 per cent during January to August from the year before, the statistics show.
Enterprises received more orders than twelve months ago in August in the paper, the textile and the chemical industry.
In the metal industry, the orders declined by 19.6 per cent from one year ago as per the data.
The fall in orders in the metal industry is largely explained by the exceptionally high value of new orders in the corresponding time period of the previous year, generated by, for example, an order in the shipbuilding industry.
