  • Global Forum on Steel Excess Capacity Chair's Report 26
    *This report was presented as a draft Ministerial Report at the GFSEC Ministerial meeting held in Tokyo on 26th October, 2019. As it did not attract a full consensus, it is presented as a Chair’s Report, and should be read in conjunction with the Chair’s statement at the conclusion of the Ministerial meeting. GLOBAL FORUM ON STEEL EXCESS CAPACITY CHAIR’S REPORT 26 OCTOBER 2019 Section I. Introduction 1. Excess steelmaking capacity–a global challenge that continues to plague the sector–creates significant difficulties for steel producers in advanced, emerging and developing economies alike. The situation became particularly acute in 2015. Excess capacity depresses prices, undermines profitability, generates damaging trade distortions, jeopardizes the very existence of companies and branches across the world, creates regional imbalances, undermines the fight against environmental challenges and dangerously destabilizes world trading relations. It especially undermines income opportunities of employees. 2. Curbing excess capacity and building a well-functioning, open, competitive, efficient, stable and transparent environment is a core challenge of our time –for the steel sector and beyond, as expressed in the G20 Hangzhou and Hamburg Summits. This report focuses on the steel sector. 3. Recognising the serious problem of excess capacity in the global steel industry as a global issue that requires collective responses, G20 Leaders called for the formation of a Global Forum on steel excess capacity at their Summit on 4 and 5 September 2016, in Hangzhou. The Global Forum on Steel Excess Capacity (GFSEC) was formally established on 16 December 2016 in Berlin. It brings together 33 member economies (all G20 members and interested OECD members), representing around 90% of global steel production and capacity.
