This consultation, which is open until May 25, 2026, seeks to ensure that our methodologies continue to reflect the physical market under indexation, 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.
Please send responses in writing, preferably in electronic format, to the following address: pricing@fastmarkets.com and paperpackaging@fastmarkets.com. Please add the subject heading “Re: North America Packaging Paper and Board – 2026.”
Please specify whether your response is confidential. Opinions offered in confidential responses may be referenced but will not be attributed in any way.
Fastmarkets will publish the outcome of this methodology review by May 29, 2026, including a summary of the feedback — with the exception of those responses marked as confidential. Any proposals to make material changes, discontinue or launch prices will involve a separate market consultation, the length of which will depend on how substantial the change is.
