China to restart coal imports from Australia?
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
There have been rumours since 2022 indicating that Australian coal will return to China sometime in early 2023. Several state-owned companies were said to be granted the right to resume the business. We interviewed our contacts in the market to gather their opinions. As a result, we think that even if the rumours do materialise soon, the lifting of the ban on Australian coal will not be a game changer for the coal market in the short term.
