2 I) The Latin America Steel Industry Cycle Golden Era: The world as is used to be Year 2000 Year 2009 New Normal: The GF crisis and China New Normal 2.0: China export surge, going down the hill Year In the May meeting, we mentioned the New Normal of the Latin America Steel Industry The New Normal for the medium term, given the unsolved overcapacity issue: Economic growth below potential. Reduced activity of steel end-users. Weak steel demand environment. Depressing prices and decreasing margins. Chinese exports at record highs. Growing and controversial unfair trade. Trade frictions war on imports. The New Normal for the Latin America industry is one of growing risks, unfair trade and financial constraints. 4 2

3 Now, the industry is moving to a New Normal 2.0 The New Normal 2.0 given the unsolved overcapacity issue, China economic slowdown and export surge and lower economic outlook: Higher risks of economic recession weak fundamentals. Urgent need of economic reforms. Steel fundamentals continue to deteriorate. Significant material injury in Latam companies. Higher Chinese exports because trade diversion. Intensifying trade investigations. From war on imports to stronger measures The New Normal 2.0 for the Latin America industry is one of growing material injury, deepen financial problems and uncertain future. 5 II) Current Situation: Latin America needs to catch up other emerging countries GDP Annual Rate (%) Interest Rates (%) LATAM 6.0 ASIA LATAM EUROPE ASIA EUROPE Source: Global Insight 6 3

9 Final comments Popular expression: it is going to get worse before it s gets better. So, the question is what needs to happen to get better? For the economies of the region, the urgent need of economic reforms to retake the growth path. For the governments, to make sure the there is a level playing field. And to accelerated the fight against unfair trade. 17 Final comments But more important questions are with regard to China Is China becoming a market economy and is it capable of solving its steel industry problems? Overcapacity issue, commercial policies of the State-owned Enterprises, subsidy support framework and need of exports. The consensus view is that the re-balancing of the Chinese economy is taking place in some activities but not in the steel industry. In this context, Chinese steel exports to the region will continue to deepen the negative impact on the Latin American steel industry. 18 9
