Dear Sir/Madame
Kindly please be informed that the 2013 2nd High-end Forum of Iron Ore Development, sponsored by China Metallurgical Industry Planning and Research Institute (shortened as MPI), will be held in Beijing on December 6th to 7th, 2013.
Under the transformation and development of the steel industry and changing in the iron ore market, this Forum, drawing hundreds of enterprises’ participation by forward-looking topics, high-level lecturer and rich business opportunities, has already become a leading communication platform with excellent praise in the steel sector.
In the year of 2013, the world economy was not capable of extricating itself from dilemma caused by euro-zone crisis. Growth in the emerging markets was dropping at an accelerated pace, while development of Chinese economy was also slowed down. The steel sector was survived with difficulties under stress coming from raw material and market demand. Under such circumstances, is recovery can be foreseen for the world economy in 2014? Is demand of the steel market can be increased? What is the orientation of transformation of the steel industry? Will the iron ore price keep on the higher level? All the doubts mentioned-above are lingered in the mind of steel and mining enterprises for long term.
Transformation and development are the key points for Chinese steel industry at present. The crucial point for the survival of steel industry is that to set the industrial development free from impediment caused by price inflation of raw material e.g. iron ore etc. For the moment, the enterprises adopt flexible raw material procurement policies to fit the rising domestic investment for iron ore and diversified supply of iron ore nationwide. On the one hand, port inventories keep on the lower level; while on the other hand, more transparent mode has already been adopted for iron ore market trading and pricing. So the order of iron ore market is undergoing a great change. The iron ore futures, recently permitted to come into the market, not only broad the game space for both supplier and receiver, but also bring about uncertainties for development of iron ore market. Therefore the 2013 2nd High-end Forum of Iron Ore Development is ready to seek countermeasures together with professionals on promotion of transformation and order change in the iron ore market.
Collect wisdom to find out channel and orientation of industrial development. Based on the situation mentioned above, MPI plans to hold the 2013 2nd High-end Forum of Iron Ore Development with topic of Changes and Opportunities. We will invite government authorities to provide guidance regarding orientation of raw material policies. Furthermore, experts and higher level of enterprises will be gathered to research and analyze several hot points such as macro economy in 2014, development of the steel industry, variation in the supply and demand of iron ore market, mining investment etc. A branch forum concentrating in iron ore futures will be set up especially for discussing and analyzing new impact towards the iron ore market imposed by this financial tool. The elite of steel and mining industry worldwide will join us to celebrate this great gathering. Your esteemed party is warmly welcomed by MPI to attend this forum.
