Magazine paper prices in Germany cut in the second half of the year

摘要

Magazine paper prices have slipped even though some manufacturers had announced their intent to hike prices or at least hoped for a long time that they could keep them stable. The main reason for the recent development in contract negotiations is the surprisingly strong imbalance between supply and demand. Over the recent months, demand has been much weaker than expected. Suppliers of coated fine paper are also finding it difficult to implement the announced price hikes.
