Taking into account the impact on the economy and production, the Italian steel trade association Assofermet urged the government to reopen the steel mill from next week to allow the steel industry to resume work; otherwise, the impact on the economy will be irreversible and devastating.

At present, production in Italy has been suspended for 2 weeks, and most steel producers have been forced to stop production by the government.

According to statistics, 95% of the steel industry has been stopped, which can be said to have a huge impact on the Italian steel industry. Therefore, Italian steelmakers' association Federacciai called on the country to start discussing strategies for even partially resuming production in mid-April.
