According to the issuer, the Group's performance in the industry is positive and consistent with industry trends... Evraz Group pays attention to the development of the product portfolio (in particular, increasing the share of products with high added value) and the search for new markets, the report says.

According to the president of the company, Alexei Ivanov, in the first half of 2022, steel demand began to decline amid fears of a weakening global economy and continuing problems in the global supply chain. In China, a "bearish" mood prevailed, dictated by the extension of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, a reduction in the margin of steel manufacturers and an increase in warehouse stocks.
