Industry Sector Analysis Mexico: Iron and Steel

摘要

The report covers the entire Mexican steel industry, focusing on fully integratedproducers. Macroeconomic figures are those reported by the USG using official government of Mexico (GOM) sources. Production and sales figures are sourced from the National Association of Steel Producers (CANACERO), and the Mexican Government's Secretariat of Energy, Mines, and Parastatal Industries (SEMIP). Total production figures are reported in metric tons of liquid (Crude) steel. Sales, import, and export figures represent metric tons of finished product. The finished product/liquid steel ratio for individual producers depends upon product mix and efficiency. In some cases, original peso figures have been converted to dollar amounts based on the average official exchange rate for the year.
