27 мая 2022
The forum on trade in metal products has brought together the representatives of industrial and trade sectors of Belarus and Russia in Zhlobin. They met in the Belarusian Metallurgical Plant to discuss the situation on the market, as well as the whole range of issues related to the purchase and sale of metal products in exchange trading. In the conditions of sanctions pressure they also talk about the possibility of import substitution. 

Alexander Romanov, president of the Russian Union of Metal Suppliers:
Russia exported more than 30 million tons of steel, domestic consumption was 40 million. The domestic consumption has naturally shrunk this year, both in Russia and Belarus. At the same time Europe is closed for our enterprises; it is very difficult to redirect the transport flows promptly. And at the same time there is a problem in the world, because in the world as a whole the prices of metal products are falling, and the demand is not growing.The participants of the forum got familiar with the production base of the BMP, visited hardware, pipe-rolling and steelmaking shops.
