Increase of imports and new expansions

摘要

With the drawing of the year 2007 near to its end, the last months of this year confirm the fact that this year was a continuation of 2006 on more than one scale, basically in the field of strengthening the growth status witnessed by this industry worldwide as well as in the Arab region. It is primarily noticed that most companies are operating in a considerable acceleration to accomplish the production increase. It has become certain that there are more than one company at the Arab level the production of each of which exceeds 4 million tons of finished products and there are several companies whose production will exceed for the first time the one million tons. This by itself is an expression of the confidence in the future of this industry which had seen during past years some reluctance or uncertainty.
