Int'l steel market, trade conference to open in China in March

China Iron and Steel Association (CISA) has made an announcement to attract global industrial players to participate in its annual steel market and trade conference.
 
The 17th International Steel Market and Trade Conference is scheduled to take place from March 27-29 in Nanjing, capital of eastern China's Jiangsu Province.
 
Sources with the association said that the conference will cover a variety of hot topics, including the outlook of the Chinese economy and its influence on the steel industry and policy environment and outlook of the Chinese steel industry.
 
Participants can also access detailed analysis on the outlook of China's steel import and export, updates on the world and major regional steel markets and stay on top of the performance of major steel-consuming sectors and their steel demand.
 
At the event, industrial experts will share their insights on the winning strategies for steel enterprises and steel traders, the development of steel trading e-platforms and risk management with steel futures.
 
Since its establishment in 2000, the conference has been serving as an official platform for CISA to release its annual review and forecast of the Chinese steel market, a vehicle for information exchange and dialog between CISA and its counterparts around the world.
 
Most importantly, it was a window for the Chinese steel industry to understand the world and the world steel community to understand China, said the association.
