BMI's Poland Metals Report for Q4 2012 examines how trends in external markets as well as domestic manufacturing, particularly the automotive sector, will influence production of steel, copper and lead. It assesses how producers are responding to the short-term depreciation of the zloty as well as long-term issues of resource supply and the latest developments in investment and corporate strategy.
