POSCO believes Indonesia mill unlikely to make profit this year

SEOUL: South Korean steelmaker POSCO believes its new steel mill in Indonesia is unlikely to make a profit this year because of an accident at the plant.

“We previously expected the mill to turn into a profit this year, but we expect the accident would lead to a production cut, which would affect profit,” Kim Jae-yeol, a senior vice president, said at an investor conference. He did not elaborate on the details of the accident.
