Challenges in financing steel Industry Financing

Steel being a key input to the country’s infrastructure sector, plays a major role in the growth of a developing economy. The sector contributes nearly 2 per cent to India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). India became the third largest producer of crude steel, behind China and Japan. The country is also the third largest consumer of finished steel after China and USA. The demand for steel is mainly driven by construction, infrastructure and automobile sectors, accounting for over 75 per cent of the total steel consumed in the country.

The lack of liquidity at banks is the major factor leading to cash flow problems at the iron and steel industry. Interest rates of overnight and 7-day repurchasing both rose to a record high since late February on June 21st. That is mainly because the banking sector will be faced with seasonal capital audit at the end of June, which should lead to near-term cash flow tightness. Besides, the small fund outstanding for foreign exchange is also a contributing factor affecting liquidity at banks. Despite funds outstanding for foreign exchange grew in May, hot money still apparently flew out of China.

Project financing and loans for the construction of steel mills is based on a flexible combination of external and internal sources of funds, but the ratio of these sources always depends on the projected financial flows of a particular project, the state of the investment market and, accordingly, on the results of professional analysis of the project at the pre-investment stage.

Steelease believes although cash flows will turn around in July, liquidity problems will remain. Since Chinese economic growth has slowed, and inflation eased, China’s central bank will likely increase liquidity through its open market operation or by lowering deposit reserve ratio
