The company intends to resume operations as soon as demand recovers to a level that enables sustainable operations, news provider Indikator reported on Thursday.

The European steel market is facing a downturn due to decreased steel consumption in the EU and the company expects this negative trend to persist, driven by ongoing economic uncertainty fueled by high inflation, according to the report.

A SeeNews email to ArcelorMittal Zenica went unanswered by the time this article was published.
