This inventory level is about 40% higher than normal for this time of the year.<\/p>\n<p>There will be reduced log supply in Quarter 1, 2021 due to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The New Zealand Forest Industry Contractors Association said that in a recent survey of members only about 35% were operating at normal capacity.<\/li>\n<li>Many harvesting crews will stop work for three to four weeks over the Christmas\/New Year period.<\/li>\n<li>Germany\u2019s logging of bark beetle damaged wood is forecast to decrease from 60mln m<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0in 2021 to 43mln m<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0in 2022. Increasing domestic demand will further reduce the volume available for export to China.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Log demand usually reduces heading into the Chinese Lunar New Year, then increases rapidly until construction activity is at full production until the hot sticky weather arrives in China in June and July.<\/p>\n<p>While we know log supply will reduce we don\u2019t know how much construction productivity and log demand will increase after Chinese New Year. This will depend on how successfully the Chinese Government restructures the property development sector while avoiding large scale sustained disruption to an industry that contributes a quarter of its GDP. The Chinese Government wants to see property development, but reduced speculation and President Xi is personally involved in real estate policies, so ministers won\u2019t consider easing policies without his approval.<\/p>\n<p>Most economists predict a 10% decline in new housing starts in 2022 in China. This is a combination of falling house prices reducing demand, reduced credit, and the introduction of new taxes introduced to curb speculation. Beijing is concerned about social stability if developers are unable to complete pre-sold projects (common in China) so officials will try to ensure existing projects are finished. In many of these projects the local government made significant sums of money by acquiring land to then on-sell the user rights to developers at a healthy margin, so they are motivated to see projects completed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Softwood inventory levels in China have dropped slightly to 4.5mln m3\u00a0and daily offtake remains steady at 75k per day.
