The Asian Pulp and Paper Monitor provides a current and near-term outlook for the Asian Pulp and Paper markets. It looks at how Economic indicators in Asia, especially in China, have and will impact the Asian pulp and paper markets.

The Monitor contains RISI’s proprietary monthly benchmark prices for the past twelve months, and a quarterly price forecast for the upcoming year.
