新华财经杭州12月19日电（记者 王小璐）18日，中国钢铁工业协会副会长骆铁军在中国铁矿石现货交 易平台第十一届会员大会上表示，今年以来，钢铁行业着力"控总量、优供给、扩需求、促转型"，加强 行业自律，坚定"三定三不要"经营原则，今年上半年，得益于钢铁行业加强自律和煤炭价格的大幅下 跌，钢铁行业利润相比去年同期明显改善，但进入9月后利润开始下滑。 骆铁军表示，当前钢铁行业生产强于需求的现状依然存在，但中国经济潜力大，韧性强，在国家各项政 策推动下，总体需求仍将保持较高水平，企业将继续践行行业自律，促进行业高质量健康发展。 骆铁军指出，在铁矿石等原料采购上，产业链上下游合理的利润分配至关重要。2010年前后，在国际矿 山企业推动下，指数定价成为定价的主流。但由于各种指数定价存在差异，方法论和采样数据存在问 题，钢铁行业一直呼吁优化铁矿石定价机制，推出更符合实际的铁矿石价格指数。在此背景下，北铁指 数应运而生。9月28日，基于港口人民币现货交易的真实数据，北京铁矿石交易中心推出了铁矿石港口 现货价格指数，为反映铁矿石供求关系和实际成交价格，推动建立高起点、高质量、高标准的价格参考 基准迈出重要一步。 编辑：郭洲洋 ...
