Deploying Critical Minerals Price Support Mechanisms

Western and allied countries are mobilizing resources for new mining projects at an unprecedented pace to secure critical mineral supply chains and counter China’s dominance. Yet achieving long-term economic viability remains a major challenge, especially in the face of market manipulation and extreme price volatility. Government-led price support mechanisms can play a decisive role in stabilizing markets for strategic commodities and enabling the supply chain diversification needed for national and economic security.

Join the CSIS Critical Minerals Security Program on December 11, 2025, for the launch of the program’s new policy report on Deploying Critical Minerals Price Support Mechanisms, from 9:00am – 11:00am ET. This event will bring together senior government officials from G7 nations and leading industry executives to discuss how price support mechanisms and other policy tools can make U.S. and allied minerals projects competitive amid Chinese market manipulation.
