South Korea plans to announce measures for troubled project-finance debt next week in an effort to ease the stress in banking and real estate businesses, according to the nation’s financial watchdog chief.

The government will roll out a normalization plan for project financing sites as restructuring shouldn’t be delayed any further, Lee Bokhyun, governor of the Financial Supervisory Service, said in a meeting with foreign press on Thursday.
