Established a foundation
for stability beyond
a suffering from IMF crisis
Even in the crisis of IMF, triggered by the serial bankruptcy of prominent domestic firms through nonpayment and radical collapse of financial market, causing disastrous national nonpayment, LGI demonstrated even better its ability as a international organizer. Receiving the order for NODCO Oil refinery project in Qatar, amount of seven hundred million dollars, is representative of the good examples. It was a triumph over outstanding competitors from France, Japan and others, won even in the worst financial situation caused by IMF crisis. Moreover, it was recorded as the largest of all the overseas projects done by Korean firms in the year. The best output under the worst environment! That is the true implication of receiving the order for Qatar Oil refinery project.
