2H Blues: Pressure To Change Greatest For Those Least Able To Pay

  • European industrial companies with complex decarbonizing challenges are facing the prospect of higher costs while industry profitability evaporates.
  • National interests will come into play if the alternative is widespread shutdowns, significant job losses, and even greater dependence on imports.  
  • Protecting some industries will be inflationary for Europe and hurt downstream competitiveness unless personal taxes rise and growth slows – poor alternatives.   
  • We further discuss metal demand and the challenges China dependence brings to business planning/political positioning. More non-China investment is needed.
