Ukraine: in 2015 metal output to fall

In 2015 Ukrainian metal companies are expected to produce 23.5 million tons of steel, down by 13% YoY, due to the military activity in Lugansk and Donetsk regions, infrastructure destruction and works halts.

According to Metallurgprom, rolled metal output is expected to decrease by 12%, to 21 million tons, while that of pig iron – by 11%, to 22 million tons.

For November Metallurgprom forecasts an increase in steel smelting by 10.5% MoM, to 2.1 million tons. Rolled metal output is expected to remain on the level of 1.8 million tons, while that of pig iron might grow by 5.3%, to 2 million tons. (Ukrainian metal)
