  • Indonesia May File Compaint at WTO over US Anti-Dumping Duties

    When looking at the trade data that were released by Indonesia’s Statistics Agency (BPS) on Monday (16/04) there is something interesting about Indonesia’s steel exports.

Reason behind this surge may very well be the trade war between China and the USA.
