Moscow is taking place in Moscow

Today, June 28, 2012, in Moscow the anniversary, 15th in a row, the Congress of the Russian Union of Supervision Supervisors of the Metal Procedure (RSPM). Suppliers of metal products gathered in the hall were placed near ventilation grilles , which delivered some comfort on these hot days.

Among the first speakers was Vadim Brainis, General Director of the Aryel Metal group. Mr. Brinis conducted an analysis of the current situation in the world's markets of metal rolling.

According to Vadim Bravenes, the market for the metal rolling has a number of problems that prevent it from actively developing. The most important thing is that for more than ten years there has been constant overproduction of steel products in the world market for more than ten years. And of course, an important role in the processes of what is happening on the steel market is played by the dominant country with the volume of production became more than 44% of the world - the Chinese People’s Republic.

Although the production of metal rolling in Russia has a positive dynamics, against the background of world indicators it looks somewhat uncertain - only 1% against 6% of the global increase in steel production. But the growth in the consumption of metal products in the Russian Federation is higher than the world in relative values: growth in the Russian Federation 6% against 5% of the global growth of metal production.

We add from ourselves that Ukraine looks completely bad in this competition - recently, the metallurgical industry has been demonstrating a fall that threatens to turn into a recession of industrial production in general. Though Euro 2012 gave a certain impetus to an increase in the consumption of metal rolling (mainly a construction variety), now construction companies are reducing the consumption of reinforcement, beams and channels.

A significant problem for the Russian market, according to Mr. Bravenes, is the ubiquitous corruption, tax system and administrative pressure on business, which is quite applicable for understanding the problems of the industry in Ukraine. Although there is also an almost complete monopolization of the market by the company Metinvest, which takes all the profit from the market, leaving no chance of competition for smaller enterprises.
