BURNING ISSUE: As with efforts to salvage the integrated Newcastle steel mill, policy and electricity-tariff interventions aimed at sustaining and reviving the country’s ferrochrome smelters are also facing headwinds. It is widely accepted that the 900%-plus increase in electricity tariffs since 2008 is the reason why many smelters are uncompetitive and unprofitable. However, a subsidy in this area will have serious price consequences for other electricity users, including industrial firms facing similar competitiveness pressures.

However, as 2025 comes to an end, there are signs that the world is tiring of the hyperbole, distraction and tantrums. Perhaps the pushback in relation to Trump’s unilateral and unbalanced ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine and Russia will be the start of a more assertive diplomatic response in 2026.
