4. 4 GE Proprietary Information 5/5/2015 Why do RE prices continue to rise? 1. Increased demand for rare earths in widely used products 2. China undercut world prices in the 1990s and now produces 95% of the world’s RE supply 3. China continues to reduce rare earth export quotas 4. Export duties (VAT) imposed to encourage “domestic” production of finished goods in China
