HMM to sell stake in Shinhan Financial

HMM to sell stake in Shinhan Financial
South Korean shipowner Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM) is seeking to sell its stake in a compatriot financial services company as part of an attempt to boost its cash flow.

HMM currently holds 2.1m shares worth KRW93bn ($86.7m) in Shinhan Financial. The Seoul-listed company intends to offload its entire stake in Shinhan Financial within the next six months, it told the stock exchange in a regulatory filing.

HMM has announced that it is looking to raise around KRW3.3trn from asset sales over the next year to reduce its debts and return to profitability.
