COAL

摘要

South Korean steam coal imports (incl. anthracite) rose to a four-year high of 102.6 Mt in 2015, up 1.7% year-on-year, according to official customs data, (see first chart, right). This was slightly below the recent all-time high of 103.2 Mt in 2011 and follows three years in which previously rapid growth in imports had stalled.
