The global lithium strategic planning outlook for Q1 2022 contains an update to the supply outlook incorporating the latest changes and expansion announcements by global lithium companies. We have also updated our demand outlook with changes specifically in the automotive segment. Additional supply will initially not be sufficient to meet growing demand but with a number of new projects scheduled to commission in the coming years, we forecast a supply surplus for lithium chemicals in general. The current price environment, update to both our supply and demand outlook as well as a review of our incentive price model has resulted in an update to our long term price outlook.
