The National Audit Office (NAO) published the findings Friday after the investigation of 37 SDIC overseas operations.
The audit results showed the state-run company has seen sharp increases in capital and revenue but still remains plagued by the poor performance of some projects which led to the losses.

SDIC’s overseas businesses include project contracting, sugar production, automobile part production and international trade.
