Why is the annual crude steel production figure different on worldsteel.org and the Steel Statistical Yearbook?
The Steel Statistical Yearbook shows the annual crude steel production data for the last 10 years. The figures in the yearbook are updated to include the latest available data from the reporting institutions at the time of publication. As the yearbook usually appears in December, the annual crude steel production figure for the latest year will be different from the figure that is published on worldsteel.org in January.
