Issue 26 / Volume 1

The 26th issue provides in depth features about trading prices and volumes, based on the Group’s own research, as well as an exclusive story that sheds a new light on public efforts in India and Bangladesh to extend the use of coal-ash, following the detection of alarming levels of radioactivity in the waste material. Here are some of the topics covered in the latest edition of the magazine. Major infrastructure project delays and a slower growth in the emerging markets this year are likely to impact India’s pricing trend and cement demand going further, according to the 2Q2015 Global Cement Trade Price Report. The story includes developments and forecasts for white and gray cement, as well as slag trading, within the background of the global economic context. Another major topic in the current issue is the findings of US researchers, who highlighted the efforts by local governments and non-profit organizations in India and Bangladesh to expand the use of the waste material for ecological brick-making.
