Hebei Steel Aims To Raise Its Target Next Year

The environment is still full of variables, but some large steel enterprises are optimistic about the situation next year, and decided to raise their production targets in 2009.

The group learned that, at the annual group work conference held last week, Wang Yifang, chairman and general manager of Hebei iron and Steel Group, put forward the goal of production and operation in 2009, which is to insist on effective production, annual production of 38 million tons of iron, 41 million tons of steel, 39 million 100 thousand tons of steel, 290 thousand tons of vanadium slag and 6 million 250 thousand tons of iron concentrate. Under the current market conditions, it is ensured that no loss will be made throughout the year, and strive to make more profits.

Compared with this year's output index, Hebei's steel output has increased to a certain extent, indicating its confidence in the market.

In 2008, the Hebei iron and Steel Group produced 30 million 100 thousand tons of iron, 33 million tons of steel, 30 million tons of steel, 5 million 100 thousand tons of iron concentrate and 147 thousand tons of vanadium slag, which has increased to varying degrees compared with the same period last year. Sales revenue reached 165 billion yuan, up 32.2% over the same period last year.

Among them, the price index of cold plate, medium plate and galvanized sheet were over 2%, indicating that the price of plate varieties increased more this week.

Driven by the sharp rise in price of hot rolled sheet, last week, the domestic cold rolled coil market also showed a more obvious rise, and most central cities increased by more than 100 yuan.
