Presidential Office Holds 'Financial Sector Win-Win Growth Strategy Review Meeting' with 6 Commercial Banks

The Presidential Office held a 'Financial Sector Win-Win Growth Strategy Review Meeting' today (July 1), presided over by Ha Jun-kyung, Senior Secretary to the President for Economic Growth.

This review meeting was organized to assess the preparations for the 'Win-Win Finance Index,' scheduled to be implemented in the second half of this year, and to request cooperation from the financial sector for a smooth evaluation process.

Executives from Kookmin Bank, Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK), NH NongHyup Bank, Shinhan Bank, Woori Bank, and Hana Bank attended, along with officials from the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, the Financial Services Commission, the Korea Commission for Corporate Partnership, the Financial Supervisory Service, and the Korea Federation of Banks.

The 'Win-Win Finance Index' is a system that evaluates how effectively the financial sector, including banks, supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small business owners. The evaluation is divided into three categories: <Win-Win Finance Performance>, <Win-Win Cooperation Performance>, and <User Perception>.

Through the introduction of this system, the government plans to encourage banks to substantially lower lending barriers and expand hands-on support to drive corporate growth.
