Korea’s Hyundai Expecting $29.4 Million From Iraq
Hyundai Engineering & Construction, is to receive $29.4 million from Iraq in reparations for damage suffered during the 1991 Gulf War, the company said recently.
Iraq is responsible for paying a total of $34.4 million to Hyundai in war reparations.
The company, which has battled liquidity problems for months, had received $5 million from Iraq as of last September, but said it would soon be getting the remainder of what it was owed in reparations.
"The [South Korean] Foreign Ministry notified us that it had received the payment and it would send us the money on Monday," the company said in a statement.
Hyundai said it hoped the payment of the reparations would improve the chances of it getting $850 million in unpaid construction bills from Iraq.
"We will be able to sell the commercial papers we received from Iraq, if the United Nations lifts economic sanctions against Iraq," said company spokesman Park Jong-kil.
