Po zadnjem poročilu Global Lesber Index (GTI) je globalni trg lesa pokazal znake okrevanja februarja 2025 po dolgem obdobju izzivov .
The Global Timber Index (GTI), supported by the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO), tracks the performance of the timber industry in several pilot countries. Ghana's GTI was 53.3%, above the 50% threshold for the second consecutive month, indicating that its timber industry continues to improve. Thailand's index was 47 . 1%, in čeprav so se izvozna naročila upadala, sečnja, proizvodnja in domača naročila so februarja pokazali pozitivne trende ., Mehika (47,8%), Republika Kongo (45,6%), Kitajska (44,1%), Grazil (43,2%) GTI so bili pod 50 -odstotnim pragom, kar pomeni, da je lesna industrija v teh državah na splošno upadala. Vendar se je v primerjavi z januarjem februarja GTI vseh teh držav povečal, kar kaže, da se trend upada olajša.
Positive signs were also shown in the GTI sub-indices. Thailand's timber production continued to grow, Mexico's domestic market improved, and Ghana's existing order volume was relatively sufficient, providing support for production and business activities in the short term. In addition, Chinese companies are relatively optimistic about the overall trend of the timber market in the next six months.
Indeks proizvajalcev GTI za proizvodnjo lesa je februarja znašal 44 . 4%, indeks plošče na osnovi GTI-Woodbat pa 39,1%, kar kaže, da sta se oba podsektorja februarja zmanjšala.
Several tropical countries have taken measures to increase policy support for their own timber markets. In Thailand, the Ministry of Commerce announced that it would simplify the export procedures for wood products. Except for Siamese rosewood, which is still banned from export, companies no longer need to apply for export licenses for the export of wood products. The transitional president of Gabon announced a $50 million allocation to restart stalled construction projects, which is expected to boost the country's demand for timber. The Brazilian House of Representatives approved a bill and submitted it to the Senate for deliberation, which provides for a refund of taxes equivalent to 3% of export revenue to small export companies, which will reduce the tax burden on some timber exports.
