Russian coking coal exports struggle to reach potential
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
Despite the support from the weak Rouble, Russian metallurgical coal exports failed to grow in 2015. The key factors limiting growth were a combination of higher margins for domestic sales, stable domestic demand, and tightening supply. Weak demand in the international market was another fundamental constraint. We expect these factors will continue affecting Russian metallurgical coal exports in 2016.
