Türkiye has joined an international action framework aimed at addressing global steel overcapacity, Trade Minister Ömer Bolat said, according to Anadolu Agency.
G20 discussions
Bolat said the framework emerged from discussions among Group of 20 (G20) members, which also touched on food trade and allegations of forced labor, issues he linked to broader geopolitical tensions currently affecting global trade.
Steel overcapacity — a persistent concern for many steel-producing nations — refers to global production capacity that exceeds market demand, a dynamic that can depress prices and disadvantage producers operating in more tightly regulated markets.
Limited details available
The Anadolu Agency report did not include specific commitments, timelines or enforcement mechanisms tied to Türkiye's participation in the framework, nor further detail on the food trade or forced labor issues raised in the G20 talks.
Türkiye is a significant steel producer, and global oversupply in the sector has been a recurring topic in multilateral trade forums in recent years.
