Korea Shares Policy Finance Know-How With 29 Nations

Key government officials from 29 nations convened in Seoul, Korea to acquire insight into the Korean policy finance system. The Export-Import Bank of Korea (Eximbank) hosted a briefing session for 34 professionals responsible for fiscal, diplomatic, and industrial policies, including representatives from G20 member countries. The KDI School of Public Policy and Management Global Leadership Program (GLP) organizes this training program, which aims to disseminate Korea's development experience and policy expertise to mid-to-high-level public sector personnel.

Eximbank commenced the event by outlining the bank's functions and roles, and delved into topics such as supply chain cooperation, export finance, critical minerals, and investment finance systems. The sessions featured case studies of infrastructure development in emerging nations and supply chain stabilization using the bank's financial products, which garnered considerable attention from attendees.

During the session, participants posed questions regarding the intricate policy finance system of Eximbank, fostering an active exchange of perspectives.

The bank has maintained a close partnership with the KDI School since 2022, regularly hosting similar international training sessions. An Eximbank official affirmed that the briefing session served as a valuable opportunity to share Korea's extensive policy finance experience with foreign government officials. The bank envisions continuing to serve as a financial diplomatic hub, bridging Korea and the world as Korea's premier policy finance institution.
