The seminar brought together coal producers and consumers, government officials, regulators, research institutions, the finance industry, and international organisations. Discussions focussed on · The likely demand prospects and investment requirements in the coal industry; · The key uncertainties facing demand and investment prospects; · The potential barriers to the timely investment needed; and · The implications for policy makers, coal producers, electricity generators and the finance industry.
