CFO Panel Discussion: Finance, costs & projects
  • How could the way that projects are financed in the future change - Exploring alternatives to traditional project CAPEX and finance models

11:50 - 13:00
Beyond the base case – Copper price under different market scenarios:

 

  • Chinese stimulus measures: Most analysts, including CRU, have been expecting China’s economic transition to result in a marked deceleration in growth of Chinese copper consumption.  But despite strong evidence that the Chinese economy is slowing, might government stimulus measures once again support copper demand growth? 
  • Technical challenges impact mine output: The four largest projects forecast to commission over the next 5 years (Grasberg Block Cave, Chuquicamata Underground, Oyu Tolgoi Phase 2, and El Teniente New Mining Level), will use block cave mining methods.  This technique has a reputation for being technically challenging and could affect ramp-up and production, resulting in slower growth in mine output. 
  • US Inflation is one of the world’s most important variables will the FED secure inflation expectations with a prompt and credible policy or will the restoration of price stability lead to a recession. How will these inflationary pressure and US monetary policy risk impact the global economy and commodity markets?
  • Trade war escalates: Despite the apparent truce agreed at the G-20 meeting in Argentina, it is possible that trade war tensions could escalate again denting GDP growth.
  • Full Chinese scrap import ban from end-2020: The Chinese category 7 scrap ban has had less of an impact on the Chinese market in 2018 than initially expected.  However, a full scrap ban could be another matter, reducing Chinese imports of copper-in-scrap by over 1.5Mt from 2017 levels.  How would China react?  Are there enough processing plants outside China to convert the scrap into other forms of copper for the Chinese market? Or would the ban encourage the development of a modern, automated, large-scale scrap generation and processing industry in China?
