The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The Company is pursuing structural reform because domestic demand for cement has been declining over the long term and is expected to continue declining gradually as a result of population decline, reduced public investment and the transition to a stock-based society. Another stated objective is to allocate resources to growth businesses, which the Company defines as the electronic, healthcare and environmental sectors.
