“We announced restructuring plan late last year, and time has come to check how much progress had been made on the front,” Yoo told reporters during his visit to Washington, D.C. on Friday (local time) for the Group of 20 finance ministers’ meeting.
“If the restructuring in the shipping sector is not going as planned, the government inevitably would have to take action,” he said. He named Hyundai Merchant Marine as the company of greatest concern. He, however, indicated restructuring in the shipbuilding industry may not be easy as it could involve massive layoffs.
Another senior government official denied the government would get involved beyond creditors’ engagement. He explained that the deputy prime minister simply meant that the workout and rescue procedures for 229 troubled companies would be finalized as soon as possible.
