Metal Bulletin is proposing to discontinue its weekly price assessment for Saudi Arabia rebar imports $ per tonne cfr.
Rebar imports into Saudi Arabia have been decreasing rapidly since 2017 and have become almost nonexistent in 2018. The country's local rebar capacity is now sufficient to meet declining demand to the extent that Saudi Arabia has exported some cargoes of billet and rebar.
