Chulete escribió:Lo de China sigue siendo asombroso. Planean construir una mega ciudad economica (Xiongan) de un tamaño equivalente a 3 veces Nueva York. Van a demandar entre 12-14 millones de toneladas anuales adicionales de acero por los proximos 10 años. Solo esto representa un incremento en la demanda China de acero del 2% anual.
China will set up a new special economic zone, the Xiongan New Area, in Hebei Province, the government announced on Saturday. The Xiongan New Area, about 100 kilometers southwest of Beijing, will cover three counties, Xiongxian, Rongcheng and Anxin.
China's new project to build a megacity on the outskirts of Beijing will drive steel demand, with the country likely gobbling up an extra 12 to 14 million metric tons of the commodity a year if plans are implemented in 10 years, Citi Research analysts said in a note released on Tuesday.
While the amount will just be a minuscule proportion of the nearly 1.63 billion tons in global crude steel production last year according to the World Steel Association, it will nonetheless provide "greater certainty on continuation of Chinese steel demand at high levels," wrote Citi analysts.
With well-connected infrastructure and reasonably high urban density, Xiongan will need 25-30 million tons of steel for residential infrastructure, another 35-40 million tons for the non-residential floor space, 35-40 million tons for the transportation and logistics infrastructure and 25-30 million tons for other utilities and infrastructure, Citi said.
