A global steel forum has agreed on joint action to address rising excess capacity in the steel industry, adopting what is being called the Milwaukee Framework to outline coordinated trade measures among participating countries.
The agreement comes as global steel excess capacity is projected to reach 745 million tonnes by 2028, a level that has raised concerns among producing nations about oversupply and its effect on global steel prices and trade.
Coordinated Trade Measures
The framework is intended to bring together governments and industry representatives to coordinate on measures addressing the imbalance between steel production capacity and demand. Details of the specific trade measures included in the framework were not fully outlined in the available material.
Excess capacity has been a persistent point of friction in international steel trade, with producing countries periodically negotiating over subsidies, tariffs and other measures aimed at curbing oversupply. The latest agreement signals continued efforts to address the issue through multilateral coordination.
