BEIJING, March 31 -- The shifting of a 40-year-old system of setting annual iron ore prices to a short-term pricing mechanism may shake up the Chinese steel industry by creating an even playing field for all steel mills - large and small - in terms of raw material costs.BHP Billiton said on Tuesday that it had concluded agreements with a significant number of Asian customers to shift pricing for the majority of its iron ore to short-term contracts, which are based on market prices.A worker at Liaoyang Iron and Steel Company, Liaoning province. There are 1,200 steel mills in China, but only 112 have licenses to import iron ore at long-term prices. Unlicensed firms have to buy iron ore from the spot market.Vale wants a new pricing system every quarter, said Pedro Gutemberg, director of marketing and research at Vale in Beijing on Tuesday, speaking at an industry conference"A more time-adjusted pricing mechanism is needed in order to better reflect real market prices," he said. "Benchmark prices are over. This is a market-oriented industry."That shift may be of some value to smaller steel mills."Vale has offered quarterly priced iron ore to us, which means we could buy iron ore at the same prices that large steel mills pay," said a sales manager at a small, private steel mill that doesn't have an iron ore import license.

BEIJING, June 1 (Xinhua) -- China has promising growth prospects and should not be blamed for world imbalances, says Danny Quah, a renowned British economist."Emergency financing that was placed in the Chinese economy to counter the downturn from the 2008 global financial crisis was the right thing...The imbalances is a global problem, not a China problem," said Quah, a professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science.China did the right thing in infusing its economy with fiscal stimulus, Quah said in a recent interview with Xinhua.He also declined to describe the ballooning real estate prices as a bubble, pointing out "the strong fundamentals" of China's economy.He said the expansion of China's housing construction will be proved useful eventually, given the fact that "China is still engaging in the task of moving hundreds of millions of people from rural areas to urban China to continue to power its manufacturing and industrial progress.""So I would not describe it as a collapse of real estate bubble, we can look forward to a rationalization of housing and real estate prices," Quah said. "The improvement and expansion of housing stock will play an important role in continuing to move the Chinese economy forward.""I think Chinese fundamentals will continue to be strong. And a little bit of high inflation, as long as it doesn't break out into some kind of runaway high inflation, is probably no bad thing," he said. "We will get it under control again as the Chinese government did previously."On allegations that China deliberately keeps its currency RMB weak to obtain unfair advantages in trade with countries like the United States, Quah said people who draw such a false conclusion are misguided."The United States is running a trade deficit not just against China. It is running a trade deficit against almost 100 other countries," he said. "China is not unique in how it is exporting more to the United States than it's importing."The U.S. government was beginning to run a large trade deficit long before China's trade surpluses started grow, he added."If you take the ratio of China's bilateral trade surplus against the U.S. as a fraction of the U.S.' overall bilateral trade deficit against all of the countries, it has remained constant over the last 15, 20 years," Quah said.
