Investor: How does the company view the loss of most steel enterprises in the industry in the third quarter? Does the company calculate how much the industry concentration will increase, which will help Chinese steel enterprises get reasonable profits in the industry chain? What does the company think of industry merger and reorganization?
Director Secretary of Masteel: Dear investors. First, the imbalance between supply and demand in the steel market, the weakness of both domestic and external demand for steel, and the high level of production have led to the prominent contradiction between supply and demand. The steel market is characterized by high output, high inventory, high cost and low price, low demand and low profit. The overall focus of steel price has moved down, which is the main reason for the loss of most steel enterprises in the industry in the third quarter. Second, under the premise of legalization and marketization, giving full play to the leading role of leading enterprises and carrying out the merger and reorganization of the steel industry is an effective means to promote the sustainable, stable and healthy development of the industry and ensure the reasonable benefits of the industry, which can effectively alleviate the homogeneous competition among enterprises and realize the scale and intensification of production capacity. Thank you for your attention.
