CHEMICALS: recovery on the way …but profit formula has still to be found

Abstract

Against a background of world‐wide recession, there are now definite signs that the chemical industry is again on the upturn. But optimism is clouded by persistent problems of overcapacity, price instability and the difficulty of retaining acceptable profit margins. One possible solution—taken up by ICI—is a commodity exchange offering greater flexibility on contracts. Report by Roger Eglin.
