Open consultation on methodology for Global Pulp – Final Decision

Fastmarkets RISI invited feedback from the industry on the pricing methodology for Global Pulp, via an open consultation process between May 24 and June 28, 2024. This consultation was done as part of our published annual methodology review process.

Feedback was received during the consultation period of an immaterial nature that would not impact the result of price assessments. Therefore, while no material changes will be made to the methodologies at this stage, clarification indicating that the Effective List price treats changes in annually established discounts during the year as changes in the price.

This consultation, sought to ensure that our methodologies continue to reflect the physical market under indexation, is in compliance with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) principles for Price Reporting Agencies (PRAs). This includes all elements of our pricing process, our price specifications and publication frequency.
