Iran’s ministry considers iron ore export restrictions as insufficient, mulls new measures

10 March 20

The government of the Islamic Republic continues to tighten control over exports of raw materials, considering the existing measures insufficient. While the officials intend to increase local iron ore supply with such an approach, it may lead to a boomerang effect, some sources believe.

The new deputy minister of industry Dariush Ismaili announced an intention to increase the export tariff and stop iron ore shipments from Iran to foreign destinations. Although the local government imposed a 25% export duty on September 23, 2019, its rate is considered insufficient to prevent a raw materials shortage in the local market, metal Expert understands.



With all good intentions in mind, such a move may have an adverse effect on the mining sector. “It will affect badly on the production of iron ore, because there will be no sense in investing in mining and exploration,” a local source familiar with the situation told metal Expert. Hard currency from export sales provides the main support to raw material producers in their operating performance. “But we need more concentrate for our pelletizing plants and steelmaking facilities to balance value chain,” the source added.



At the same time, it is too early to predict consequences amid several factors. First of all, the year is coming to an end in Iran, so decisions may be taken in a slower mode. Moreover, the holiday period is likely to be extended in the country due to the coronavirus epidemy. “I believe we have to discuss it at the end of April when the market opens completely,” an insider told metal Expert.
