No cartel pushing up steel prices: ministry

The Ministry of Industry and Trade says no cartel is behind higher steel prices, attributing the rise to costlier imports of intermediate goods.
Steel prices have risen by 40-50 percent since the end of 2020, according to the Vietnam Steel Association (VSA), troubling construction companies.
The Vietnam Association of Construction Contractors asked the Government Office to investigate the price rise and find out if steelmakers were cooperating with each other to push up prices.
The ministry said it was a baseless assumption, explaining that local steel prices depended on prices of intermediate goods needed for production, most of which are imported. The prices of intermediate goods have risen because of long shipping times as the supply chain is hindered by the ongoing pandemic.
