1996年，国家适度从紧的大政方针未变，汽车、机电产品及房地产业市场疲软，因此钢材市场受到极大影响，其主要特点是：1．资源供给大幅度增长。在资源供给结构中，国内生产传续增长。1996年前10个月，全国生产钢材7O70万吨，比去年同期增长7．5％。同时境外进口也在大幅度增长 In 1996, the state’s principle of moderately tight policies did not change, and the markets for automobiles, machinery and electrical products and real estate were weak, so the steel market was greatly affected. Its main features were: 1. The supply of resources has grown substantially. In the resource supply structure, domestic production continued to increase. In the first 10 months of 1996, China produced 70.7 million tons of steel, an increase of 7.5% over the same period of last year. At the same time, foreign imports are also growing substantially.
