In order to promote exports of steel products, steel prices to ease the current difficulties facing the loss of relevant state departments are studying the policy, or our country from January 1 next year since the abolition of the implementation of a year and a half or so of the steel export license management system.

If there is no steel export license management system, which will ease the extent to which the domestic steel industry is currently facing difficulties? China's steel exports which will generate much of the impetus? An interview with reporters yesterday, and some experts on small and medium-sized steel enterprises were responsible.

To enter in 2008, in particular the financial crisis, the development of the steel industry into the doldrums, steel prices have fallen substantially and corporate profits decline, the loss continued to expand.

"At present, China's steel industry is the main domestic demand to abolish steel export licenses will be the extent to which the key to pulling steel exports will depend on international market prices." Shougang Corporation Gan Xiaoqing, deputy director of the Development Research Institute said. He believes that if the international market remains in the doldrums, even if the abolition of China's steel license management system will not have much of the impetus for export. Shougang and because such a large-scale production of iron and steel enterprises is a major value-added products, steel or cancel implementation of an export license for large-scale iron and steel enterprises will not have much impact.

Baoshan Iron and Steel Industrial Group research fellow at the Institute Ding Zhiqiang of the view that the abolition of export licenses for small and medium-sized steel enterprises is slightly larger.

Rizhao Iron and Steel Group, Dong Feng, vice minister said that before the iron and steel Rizhao Group is the main export trade, in May 2007 to implement the national steel export licensing system, the Japanese steel exports by the group in turn limit the national policy to open up the domestic market if the country next year to abolish Steel export licensing system, the Japanese steel group will strive towards the international market. Dong Feng said that the Japanese steel group is currently operating loss, but as for the national steel industry issued a series of favorable policies, I believe that the domestic steel industry will be able to survive the winter.

For next year the steel industry as a whole the situation in the forecast, Gan Xiaoqing of the view that the steel industry in the first half of next year will be remains in the doldrums in the second half, the national policy may be ushered in under the influence of a certain turn for the better, but overall, the situation next year would be more difficult.

Steel export license management system in May 20, 2007 to start the implementation of this policy is aimed at implementing the emission reduction requirements of energy-saving, low-end steel products in inhibiting the excessive growth of exports, to maintain the healthy development of steel industry .
