ABU DHABI: Emirates Steel, the largest steel producer in the United Arab Emirates, sees challenges in 2019 including a slowdown in the regional construction sector, chief executive Saeed al-Remeithi said on Tuesday.
These challenges were also due to a surge in iron ore prices, a drop in sales prices, market volatility and market protectionism, he added in a statement.
Emirates Steel's revenue in 2018 was 7.5 billion dirhams ($2.04 billion), up 15 percent from a year earlier, the company said.
