Outlook for 2016 2016 Outlook Portucel presented strong operating results in 2016 and continues to work on its development and diversification projects, while also improving its efficiency BHKP/BEKP buying has recently become more active in China and in other markets suggesting BEKP has been sold out and the bottom for spot prices has been reached. However, even though demand in China is picking up, pulp supply is forecasted to continue growing at afastpacein2016(mainlyinsouthamerica); In Europe in UWF, two large conversions affected operating rates Husum (- 420 000 tons) impacting and 2016, and Varkaus (-150 000 tons); imports into Europe from Asia are increasing and may lead to increased discounts in paper price; Large capacity closure of UFS in the US in April will probably have positive impact on operating rates.
