ANNUAL REPORT 2018 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Chairman’s STATEMENT Dear Shareholders, On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present to you the annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2018. Analysis of the Macroeconomic Condition During the year, the world economic growth slowed down. Despite the continuously rising economic growth rate of a few economies such as the United States, the economic growth rate of most other economies has declined. In addition, there are some noticeable features, such as the slowdown in international trade growth, the sluggish international direct investment activity, the continuous increase of global debt levels and the turmoil in financial markets. In the face of the intricate international and domestic environment, the Chinese economy has maintained a generally stable growth, and has successfully completed the main expected targets for economic and social development with the annual GDP growth reaching 6.6%. Performance of Major Business and Dividends During the year, facing the unfavorable environment in which international trade disputes was intensifying and pressure from domestic environmental protection policies was increasing and steelworks in the hinterland limited production, the Group expanded markets externally, and reduced costs and increased benefits internally, achieving steady growth in throughput.
