Europe’s economy is experiencing a surge in growth, with recent strong purchasing managers’ indices indicating this trend. Additionally, Israel is considering implementing restrictions on the export of iron and steel scrap to address a shortage within the country.
In April, the eurozone experienced an unexpected rise in the Purchasing Managers’ Index, reaching its highest level in 11 months at 51.4 points. This growth was particularly noticeable in Germany, where the service sector experienced strong expansion at 53.3 points and there was improvement in the manufacturing sector.
The iron and steel scrap shortage has been a challenge for Israel, leading to discussions around implementing export restrictions. A new draft law has been proposed to introduce export licenses and quantitative quotas to address this scarcity. The trend of banning or imposing restrictions on scrap exports has been observed in various countries, including the European Union. The EU is also considering implementing an export ban to support domestic steel producers while emphasizing environmental responsibility.
