China: Fitch Ratings expects West China Cement to record a first-half sales decline of 10% in 2022, due to ‘sluggish’ residential construction, on-going Covid-19 restrictions and high coal costs due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The rating agency predicted a ‘mid-single digit’ full-year sales decline in 2022, with a gross profit margin for the group of 28%, compared to 30% in 2021. This probability results from higher costs arising from overseas investments during the year.
