In addition to rapidly rising demand, steel prices were pushed higher by rising prices of all major raw materials used in steel production (scrap, coke, coal and iron ore).

The rapid growth in Chinese steel production has not only caused great turbulence on the world steel and raw materials markets, but has also made major demands on the country's power and transport system.

The aim of this move was to reduce the pressure on the country's limited raw material and energy supplies by making it less attractive to produce steel for export.

It was agreed that the policy goals for the national steel sector were reducing energy consumption and waste of raw materials by adopting more efficient production methods, encouraging the consolidation of the highly fragmented national steel sector, modernizing outdated plants, and improving the geographical distribution of the industry.
