Vth CIS Steel and Raw Materials in the World markets, 12-13 April 2010, Kiev, Ukraine

9.12.2009





Organizers:










INTRODUCTION

Suppliers of rolled steel from CIS take an active part in the global trade, exporting about 20% of products. Sales geography covers almost all the regions, but the most active trade is carried on with partners from Middle and Far East and West Europe.

Global financial crisis weakened CIS suppliers’ positions in no small degree so that they were forced to decrease export supplies by 20%. Exporters were looking for their way amid slowing down economic activity – reducing production level (11 months of 2009 it was varying between 53-80%), cutting their products’ quotations.

In the 2nd half of 2009 positive changes traced at the global steel markets, impetus was given by rising prices for Chinese products. It gave for CIS exporters of finished products and raw materials a hope that Q1 2010 would come under the sign of stability or increasing quotations. Nevertheless economic news bring large portion of uncertainty in probability of the further developments.

KEY QUESTIONS

1. With which rates will the demand recovery go at the main distribution areas of CIS steel and raw materials?
2. Will China compete again with CIS suppliers at the world markets or will it import again steel products from Russia and Ukraine?
3. How the export structure of CIS steel and raw materials will be changed? Which markets will ascend a “victory podium”?
4. Will the increasing prices for raw materials be the key factor of pricing in the segment of finished products?
