GS Group CEO Huh Chang-soo said the company needs to maximize its growth engines in the near future.

“Five years from now we will form a cornerstone to affect the fate of GS Group for the next 100 years,” the 61-year-old chairman said in an executive meeting Wednesday.

“We need to maintain the growth momentum in businesses which are on track.”

He also said that business strategies need to have the right timing and meet customers’ demands, and are also required to do business to the full.

“We do not have much time left, so we need to do our best to pull off lots of successes in five years time,” he said.

Huh asked executives to prepare for the second half comprehensively.

“There are still sovereign debt problems and asset bubbles, so we need to gear up for those challenges,” he said.
