China’s Iron and Steel Exports Soaring

China has announced that its global exports of iron and steel for the first quarter of 2005 skyrocketed from $0.9 billion from in the same quarter of 2004 to $4.6 billion today – a five fold increase.

 

China's export of iron and steel products also increased by 57% over the past year - to over $4 billion in the first quarter of this year.

 

Meanwhile, China's import of iron and steel declined for the same quarter from last year's levels.

 

China already has a $1 billion surplus in iron and steel products this year, a drastic increase over its -$4.5 billion trade deficit in the first quarter of 2004.
