AlCircle: What are your initial thoughts about the impact of Covid-19 on the global aluminium value chain? 

Ben Smye: I think one issue we could see is that projects are delayed, leading to a drop in demand, at least in the short time. Hopefully these projects will restart once the situation has improved, though, and the current drop in demand will be offset by higher future demand.
