Policy Review of Iron and Steel Industry

19 June 2009

Come August 1st

"... With the objectives to enhance competitiveness of the local industry, as well as encourage the manufacture of more competitive products for international market, the Government has agreed to implement the following measures, effective from 1 August 2009. The policy measures for iron and steel industry are formulated after a series of discussions held with the Malaysian Iron and Steel Industry Federation (MISIF) since early 2007.

These measures covers:

i) Manufacturing Licences

ii) Import and Export Licences (AP)

iii) Import Duty & Import Duty Exemption

iv) Determination of HRC base price

v) Implementation of Mandatory Standards

Abolition of import curbs a boost for steel industry

"The Government’s decision to abolish certain import restrictions within the steel industry will allow finished steel product makers to competitively source their raw material needs.

The latest move by the Government, viewed as a step towards full liberalisation of the industry, was designed to “enhance competitiveness” of the local steel players.

Duty cuts will enhance steel industry

AmResearch analyst Mak Hoy Ken said the latest liberalisation could be a pre-emptive move by the government to commoditise local steel prices.

"There are increasing expectations of a shortage of steel bars once the rollout of the Ninth Malaysia Plan projects get underway," he said.

Some millers like Ann Joo are already ramping up capacity ahead of an unexpected uptick in domestic steel consumption by the first quarter of 2010, Mak added.

"Our channel checks with local contractors revealed that prices of local steel bars could rise by another RM300 per tonne over the next three months."

As for the flat steel players, the positive impact from import duty exemptions on its main feedstock could be offset by intensifying competition with the gradual removal of import duties for flat steel products. The impact is more pronounced on the smaller steel players, where barriers to entry are already low, Mak said.
