GM Korea's sales grow 7.6% in Dec.

GM Korea Co., the local unit of U.S. carmaker General Motors Co., said Monday that its sales in December grew 7.6 percent from a year earlier, driven in part by strong overseas shipments.

The carmaker sold 61,338 units last month, up from the previous year's 57,015 units, the company said in a press release.

Its domestic sales rose 1 percent on-year to 18,287 units, while overseas shipments expanded 10.7 percent to 43,051 units.

Meanwhile, GM Korea said its annual sales in 2015 shrank 1.4 percent to 621,872 units. (Yonhap)
