This Summit is beneficial, because it brings together in one place the market's biggest players. It is possible to exchange experience, learn about new trends and technologies on the market, about the latest investments and future projects, so I think this event is useful for the whole sector.
I think in the coming year the sector will develop, because we will see an increase in demand for metallurgical products, because the economy is gradually improving.
We can see that companies are lowering their expenditure -- and as we are a company that works with expenditure, we help them with that.
In the coming year we are working according to the trends of the last few years, and what we are trying to do now is work with enterprises' expenditure.
We are planning to work with large-scale enterprises that are seeking to manage their expenditure -- those that have management systems in place, as well as quality control, control over their affiliate enterprises, and control over their purchasing activity.
These activities are part of many companies' development plans; the market is gradually becoming more competitive, and therefore companies have to learn to work with expenditure in order to become more effective.
That is where we come in -- it is our company's priority. I would like to see the participants at this conference be more open, so they could discuss specific problems, and talk more about their experiences, so that other participants,
even if they are competitors, could learn about best practices, what to pay attention to at their companies. And I also wish that companies would be more transparent about their purchasing activity, because today's metallurgical companies are fairly closed.
