[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Hyundai Oilbank has sold 90% of its shares in Hyundai Oil Terminal. The proceeds from the sale will be invested in eco-friendly future businesses.

At the board meeting held on the 16th, Hyundai Oilbank approved the agenda to sell 90% of its shares in Hyundai Oil Terminal to J&Private Equity Co., Ltd.
