Resumen de Russia Update: Russian aluminium industry ready for take off
While accounting for around 7% of global primary aluminium production, Russian aluminium consumption is as low as 1.6% of the world's total. This is due to change, though, in the coming years. A recently adopted governmental program to boost demand for high added value aluminium products, efforts undertaken by the Russian aluminium association, establishment of Aluminium Valley in Siberia as well as an overall improving economic outlook for Russia indicate positive prospects for the "winged metal" in the region.
