RISI proposes the following changes to UK newsprint price coverage with effect from January 2018, to better reflect current market dynamics.
1) Discontinue price assessments for 48.8 g newsprint as this grade is used less and less.
2) Consider a move to outright assessments of 40 g newsprint, which is gaining in use.
In the meantime, RISI will continue to assess the 40 g newsprint market based on a full-yield formula, using the 42.5 g price as a starting point.
No changes are proposed to the assessment methodology for 45g and 42.5g newsprint.

Feedback on these proposed changes is requested by email at the following address pricing@risi.com before October 23, 2017. RISI would also welcome feedback on its newsprint coverage in other European markets.
