Jean Jouet, CEO, “ArcelorMittal Kryviy Rih”: “We had to face severe winter conditions early this year. In March our production increased and was less affected by frozen material and equipment. Some difficulties remained with railway transport. The production figures in March are close to the budget target. The situation in April is expected to stabilize and follow the same positive trend as in March.”
