China revises up 2023 crude steel output by nearly 1%
BEIJING, Nov 8 (Reuters) -China, the world's largest steelmaker，revised up its total crude steel output for 2023 by nearly 1%, official data showed.
It produced approximately 1.029 billion metric tons of crude steel in 2023, according to the statistics yearbook for 2024 by the country's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
That was up from 1.019 billion tons NBS published in January nL1N3E705D, with the NBS website still showing the number without a change.
Beijing has imposed a cap on its total annual crude steel output as part of efforts to limit the emissions of carbon dioxide from 2021 when output slid by 3% from a peak of 1.065 billion tons in 2020.
It fell further by 1.7% to 1.018 billion tons in 2022.
Output in 2023 halted a two-year decline.
Output in the first nine months of this year fell by 3.6% on the year to 768.48 million tons, NBS data showed, with the October data to be unveiled next week.
