Metinvest wants to enter CIS and Eastern European markets.

“We will see no considerable increase on the domestic market. If we could keep our current levels, that will be good enough. Our main goal now is the Eastern Europe. Belarus and Azerbaijan are also interesting”, said the company marketing director Roman Kurashev.

Still he believes metal consumption in Ukraine in 2016 will grow.

“Taking into account the low 2015 base, when the consumption fell, we would probably see some 10% increase”, he added. Metinvest expects the demand for metal to rise on the part of agriculture and machine-building. (Ukrainian metal)
