Pakistan’s February cement exports drop amid rocketing production costs

04 March 2022

Pakistan: All Pakistan Cement Manufacturers Association (APCMA) members exported 405,000t of cement in February 2022, down by 34% year-on-year from 616,000t in February 2021. Domestic deliveries also dropped, by under 1% to 3.95Mt from 3.96Mt. Amid the declines, Pakistani cement producers have reported a steep rise in their costs due to increases in international freight rates and coal prices and the country’s on-going ban on trade with neighbouring India. Cheaper Iranian cement has undercut Pakistani cement sales to Bangladesh, while the Afghan market has yet to recover following the withdrawal of peacekeeping forces.

US Office of Foreign Assets Control settles over Iranian clinker deal

15 December 2021

Iran/US: The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) says it has reached a settlement of around US$133,000 with an unnamed US citizen for violating Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations by accepting payment in connection with a clinker deal. OFAC says the individual received payment in the US of around US$133,00 on behalf of an Iran-based company selling Iranian-origin clinker to another company for a project in a third country. Whilst OFAC considered that the individual knew they were flouting the US-based regulations it did view the individual’s apparent minimal benefit from the activity as a mitigating factor. The individual had previously submitted a licence request to OFAC in connection to other transactions but this was denied.
