Blocking checkpoints on the border with the EU will have a long-term effect

In January-October, the country's steelmakers reduced steel production by 17.5% y/y

This decision is due to two factors: low demand for coke and high coking coal prices

The company suspended the blast furnace at the plant in Zenica (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and the wire rod production plant in Sosnowiec (Poland)

Prolonged blocking of the border will lead to increased costs of logistics and a decrease in the competitiveness of Ukrainian exports

The largest amount went to the modernization of the blast furnace in Dombrov-Gurnych

Ukraine and Europe need tools for joint long-term logistics planning

The convention will enter into force on October 28 and will be valid until repealed

In January-September, the country's steelmakers reduced steel production by 19.1% y/y

In September, the port complex increased the processing of cargo handling equipment by 72.7%

Coke production during July-September decreased by 8.2% q/q

The goal of the upgrade is to optimize rolling performance and upgrade hardware
