COMMENT

 

The subject has good reputation in its business for over 20 years.   Economic  slowdown  and  slow  growth  in  industrial  and  construction  sectors  has  resulted  with  declining  of  steel  products.   Many  government’s mega  projects  have  been  delayed  and  postponed  since  the  revolution  in  July  2006.

 

However,  it  is  expected  the  economic  slowdown  situation  would  be  prolonged  until  the end  of  this  year.
