		<description><![CDATA[Apr. 21 &#8211; Vietnam may consider restricting steel imports to reduce reliance on China, Japan and Russia, says a recommendation from the Vietnam Steel Association. The restrictions will benefit local steelmakers who are capable of meeting construction material needs for wire rods, pipes and metallic-coated steel. The move will also help the country cut its trade deficit and mitigate the effects of its fluctuating local currency. Steel is Vietnam’s third top import product with steel imports increasing by 22 percent to 9.63 million tons last year. “The government should have measures to limit imports of products such as wire rods, &#8230; <a href="http://www.vietnam-briefing.com/news/vietnam-considers-restrictions-steel-imports.html/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
