COVERAGE NOTE: Changes to UK newsprint price coverage

As previously announced, RISI has implemented the following changes to its UK newsprint price coverage in PPI Europe from January 2018:

1) Discontinued price assessments for 48.8-g newsprint as this grade is used less

and less.

2) Returned to assessing 40-g newsprint based on a full-yield formula, using the 45-g
price as a starting point.

The changes, which were announced in November 2017, follow a market consultation on RISI UK newsprint price coverage. No changes are being made to the assessment methodology for 45-g and 42.5-g newsprint.

RISI will continue to gather feedback on other graphic paper grades both in the UK and elsewhere in Europe to ensure its coverage best reflects current market dynamics.
