Restructuring in 2008 in an intense and long products, flat products production has been converted to work with. Thanks to this study of Turkey's production capacity of flat products has increased at a rate of 20. Domestic and foreign markets, thanks to strong demand, the first 9 months of the year in the period of Turkey's crude steel production has increased at a rate of 11.
But in the last quarter of the year, demand for domestic and foreign markets to collapse, the sharp decline in production was observed. May, June, July and August months of production on average by comparison, in the last quarter of the year has shown a decrease in production rate of 25. Despite the sharp decline in the last quarter of the year, an increase in production in 2008 in its entirety is expected to perform at the level of 5. Global financial crisis has some flat products adversely affect investment, although, in the flat next year is expected to continue to increase product capacity. In the first quarter of the year, Turkey's crude steel production is expected to remain constant, the rising trend since the second quarter is estimated to enter. Decline in capacity utilization rates in recent months despite higher rates, new capacity in 2009 will also come in because the expected increase in production is around 5. New flat product capacity, reducing the need for imports, increasing the share of consumption in the domestic flat products that will perform a function. In the last quarter of the year rapidly decline in the exports, in the first quarter of 2009 will remain constant, but the trend in the second quarter will increase from the estimate.
In summary, in 2009, the first 9 months of 2008 than the poor, would be better than the last quarter of year 2008 estimate.
