摘要

Crude steel production in Germany was down by 24.70% year on year in July due to capacity being cut to balance the drop in demand caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, German steel federation WV Stahl said on Monday August 24. Germany’s crude steel production totaled 2.42 million tonnes in July 2020, down from 3.22 million tonnes in the corresponding period of 2019. The July 2020 output is close to the lowest point in production in Germany reached in the first half of 2009, when July output was 2.40 million, WV Stahl said.
