ALUMINIUM INVENTORIES
Notes:

1. Definition
Unwrought aluminium is aluminium in its basic cast form made from primary metal or from scrap and which is unworked in the metallu

aluminium is unwrought aluminium plus unprocessed scrap, metal in process and finished semi-fabricated (mill) products. Unwrought
inventories are all relevant inventories over which primary aluminium producers have some degree of control, with the exception of metal incl
reports.
Further clarification can be found in the publication 'A Guide to the IAI Statistical System'.
2. Source of Data
The data included in this IAI Statistical Report have been derived exclusively from voluntary reports of IAI Member and non-Member
outside the industry nor estimates are used.
3. Data Aggregation
The IAI Statistical System is designed to meet the requirement that, in general, individual company data be included only within

by declared geographical areas and not be reported separately. The declared geographical areas and the primary aluminium producing countries
areas are as follows:

An asterisk indicates that aluminium inventories data were not reported to the IAI by the company or companies producing primary
country. Dates given against a country indicate that data were reported or not reported, as appropriate, for the limited period shown.
4. Data Integrity
The IAI considers the figures shown to be reliable, but they may be subject to revision. Particular note should be taken of the fact that

the reporting, primary aluminium producing companies (producers) are not homogeneous and also that inventory practice varies. If a producer i
to report inventories strictly according to IAI definitions and rules, the producer is expected to report as closely to those definitions and rules
any event consistently from month to month.
