Deripaska: Rusal won't restart aluminum capacity

Dec. 3 (Bloomberg) -- United Co. Rusal, the world's largest aluminum producer, won't restart shuttered capacity while demand for the lightweight metal is still recovering, owner and Chief Executive Officer Oleg Deripaska said.

"Our policy is very responsible," Deripaska said today in an interview at Bloomberg's London offices. There "will be no restarts," he said.

Rusal and competing aluminum producers Rio Tinto Group and Alcoa Inc. cut output this year after commodity prices slumped as the global economy contracted.
