Domestic orders won by South Korean construction companies fell 16.3 percent in September from a year earlier, industry data showed Wednesday, in the latest sign of a prolonged slump in the local construction sector.
Local builders bagged a combined 7.26 trillion won ($6.6 billion) worth of new orders in September, according to data released by the Construction Association of Korea.
Orders from the public sector plunged 37.9 percent on-year to 2.31 trillion won in September while those from the private dipped just 0.1 percent to 4.94 trillion won over the cited period, according to CAK.
