进入今年下半年,国际上木材市场价格出现了新一轮上涨的风潮。造成这一牵动全球所有业内人士关注的大变化,其原因是多方面的: 其一、美元的长期贬值,特别是最近一个时期内的再度疲软,使主要林木生产大国的货币相对升值(如欧元、加拿大元、新西兰元等),其结果导致使用这些货币的国家林产品出口纯收入减少、企业效益明显受到影响。这些林木生产大国及其出口企业,为了摆脱此种不利的局面。便一方面采取了减少木材供给量的措施,另一方面则大幅提高木材出口价格。而上述诸国及地区却有着为全球提供将近60%的木材资源的负担,所以这一变化对全球的木材市场行情的影响非同小可。 Into the second half of this year, the international timber market prices a new round of rising trend. The reasons for this are the many changes that have drawn the attention of all insiders in the world: First, the long-term depreciation of the United States dollar, especially in the most recent period, has caused the relative appreciation of the currencies of the major forest-producing countries (such as the euro , Canadian dollars, New Zealand dollars, etc.). As a result, the net income from the export of forest products in these currencies has been reduced and the efficiency of enterprises has obviously been affected. These big tree-producing countries and their exporting enterprises, in order to get rid of such unfavorable situation. On the one hand, measures have been taken to reduce the supply of wood, while on the other hand, the export price of timber has been raised substantially. However, these countries and regions have the burden of providing nearly 60% of the world’s timber resources. Therefore, the impact of this change on the global timber market is not trivial.
