The first-half investment by top-30 conglomerates has been 61.8 trillion won, down 10.4 percent from 69 trillion won recorded a year ago. In order to reach the target figure by the year's end, they must make an additional investment of 92.9 trillion won. The reason the large corporations spent only 41.5 percent of planned investment budget during the first half has to do with the fact that the major investment projects were scheduled at the latter part of the year, as well as the undiminished uncertainties in the domestic and global economy.
As for employment, the target hiring number of 140,700 is about 13,000 more than the plan revealed earlier this year. If the plan is accomplished by the year's end, the total employment number would have risen 12 percent from last year's 125,000.
