Economist Huw McKay says the federal government’s decision to increase the tariffs on Chinese steel products is "potentially counterproductive". McKay warns that this will increase construction costs, which will in turn add to inflation and the housing supply crisis. The government recently increased the tariff on Chinese-made steel reinforcing bar from 19 per cent to 24 per cent, in response to a recommendation from the Anti-Dumping Commission. The government has previously increased the tariffs on a range of other Chinese steel products, including bolts, hot-rolled coil and ceiling frames.
