Embattled South African steel producer ArcelorMittal South Africa (AMSA) has offered insight into the “fair pricing model” it has tabled before government in return for tariff protection and a government stipulation that locally manufactured steel be designated for used public infrastructure projects. The model, CEO Paul O’Flaherty revealed at the weekend, would be premised on an “efficient” cost of production, plus a reasonable, but capped, margin for the “good and bad times” – the JSE-listed company was expecting excessive global steel capacity, low global iron-ore prices and depressed steel markets to prevail for four the five years.
