Metinvest doesn’t see steel prices growing considerably in 2017.
“We believe everything will be on this year’s level”, Yuri Ryzhenkov, Metinest CEO, reported.
According to him, results of the antidumping investigations by EU will be important for Ukrainian producers.
“From the point of view of Ukrainian manufacturers, everything depends on antidumping investigations. If they end with the positive result for us, we would still be present at our key market with the same volumes of metal”, he explained.
“At present we sell almost 40% of our products on the European market. We don’t even call it exports, as we consider it our local market. Sometimes it’s easier for us to supply metal to Southern Europe than to Western Ukraine”, Ryzhenkov added. (Ukrainian metal)
