The steel industry is one of the most progressive and innovative industries in today’s dynamic and competitive world that caters to the need of every individual and every aspect of life from a micro level to the macro level and fulfils the demand of almost all industrial sectors and therefore is a key element responsible for driving the economy of a nation. Pakistan Steel Mills Corporation (PSMC)—once a highly profitable organization and considered one of the largest and sole steel producers in Pakistan—is on the verge of collapse and passing through critical stages of its survival. Despite its monopoly and vast potential to expand and grow, PSMC has not only lagged far behind in comparison to its neighbouring nation, but has also been unable to meet the demand of its own nation. This study attempts to explore and analyze the pros and cons of its current deteriorating condition by considering the various factors and challenges faced by PSMC for the last few years and in particular the consequences of the unsuccessful post-privatization attempt made by the government. Numerous apparent and inherent factors are attributed to this failure, namely, the high bureaucratic influence, financial irregularities, managerial incapabilities, inefficient management techniques, etc. In addition, the role and impact of other steel sources such as ship-breaking, steel melting, imports, etc., are also taken into account, that, if carefully managed and controlled, can help PSMC come out of its dilemma.

Structure of the Russian export and import of steel industry products presented by results of 9 months of 2019 operation. It was shown, that the total share of pig iron, ferroalloys and semi-products (40.3%) in the ferrous metals export from Russia is practically the same as the share of rolled products and steel pipes (39.4%), whereas the shares in the import structure were 7.7 and 75% accordingly. The share the far abroad countries in the Russian export and import of finished steel products (in natural terms) accounted for 80.6 and 28.7% accordingly, while the share of CIS countries – 19.4 and 71.3% accordingly. For 9 months of 2019 the Russian export of semi-products declined by 10.9% comparing with the analogue period of 2018 and accounted for 10.9 m tons. 54.6% of the total export shipping of semi-products were directed to Mexico, Turkey, Egypt and Taiwan. Within the nearest years the Russian export of semi-products and billets, in particular, will be effected by the further development of the semi-products production in in the countries of Middle East, Turkey, Vietnam and India. The domestic market remained to be more attractive for many Russian companies. For the 9 months of 2019, export of long and flat products accounted for 3 and 5.7 m tons accordingly, declining comparing with the analogue period of the previous year by 11 and 15.6% accordingly. Import of long and flat products decreased by 12 and 0.5%, accounting for 1.0 and 2.9 m tons accordingly. By the results of 9 months of 2019, import declined and export shipping of coated sheet increased. Taking into account the expansion of steel grades assortment by Russian plants, increase of capacities for production of sheet with different coatings, this tendency is likely to remain.
