SEOUL (AFP) - – South Korean banks have selected 65 financially troubled firms for sweeping restructuring or liquidation, financial authorities said Friday.
 
The firms were picked by six creditor banks which since April have reviewed the credit risk of hundreds of indebted big firms, the Financial Services Commission and Financial Supervisory Service said in a joint statement.
 
Of the 65 selected for action, 38 will undergo a restructuring programme while the remainder face liquidation or court management, it said.
 
The 65 include 15 construction firms, three shipbuilders and one shipping company, it said without identifying them.
 
Creditors have about 16.7 trillion won (13.87 billion dollars) in outstanding loans to the 65 firms and will set aside about three trillion in loan loss provisions, the statement said.
 
Such provisions will have a limited impact on the country's financial sector, it added.
