Commenting, Mr. Lakshmi N. Mittal, Chairman and CEO, ArcelorMittal, said:

"The first six months of the year have been some of the most challenging the steel industry has ever experienced. Operating in such a difficult environment, I am pleased with the way in which ArcelorMittal has responded to adapt production, cut costs and strengthen our balance sheet.

In recent weeks we have started to see some initial signs of recovery, as a result of which we are now planning to re-start production at some facilities. Provided there are no further unexpected economic deteriorations, we should see continued gradual improvement throughout the second half of the year, with full recovery remaining slow and progressive."
