(MENAFN) South Korean builders won construction orders worth USD6.02 billion in January of 2014, Xinhua reported.
The overseas construction orders showed an increase by 61 percent on-year, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said.
The soar up could be attributed to a fistful of large orders which include a USD2.62 billion project to build a gas plant in Venezuela, and a power plant of USD1.65 billion worth in Vietnam.
Middle East orders stood at USD30 million in January since oil-producing countries abstained from construction projects among cheaper oil.
