lowest average price was $84 per cubic<br />

PRICES<br />
Average OSB board prices increased<br />
by 5.7 per cent, to 13,365 rubles per<br />
cubic metre in 2016. Throughout the<br />
year, prices climbed gradually until<br />
the end of the third quarter, and then<br />
rapidly declined with a smooth rebound<br />
towards the end of December. Prices<br />
peaked in September 2016—17,905<br />
rubles per cubic metre—due to a highly<br />
active construction market before the<br />
end of the season.<br />
In 2016, the average price for<br />
imported OSB increased by 15.1 per<br />
cent to $179 per cubic metre (2015:<br />
$155). Throughout the year, the price<br />
for imported OSB was growing, although<br />
there were sharp price declines in<br />
