CHINA’S private steel companies are playing a bigger role in reducing capacity in the industry, according to the sector’s chamber of commerce.
China slashed crude steel capacity by over 50 million tons in 2017, with private steel companies contributing 40 million tons of the cuts, or 80 percent.
In 2016, 65 million tons were cut, with 38.8 million tons, or 60 percent, from private firms.
The steel price index came in at 121.8 at the end of December, up 22.4 percent from the beginning of the year, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
China plans to cut 100 million to 150 million tons of crude steel capacity in the five years by 2020.
