Mining production in Mexico is estimated to have remained flat in 2022, affected in part by the weakening of construction and the steel industry, according to the head of economics think tank IDIC, José Luis de la Cruz.

For all of 2022, exports were worth $291.98 billion, a historic high for annual shipments and 26.07% higher than in 2021.

The 2303 ferrosilicon contract price on ZCE closed at 8492 yuan per ton on January 12.
