Hana Financial Group Holds One-IB Market Forum… “Accelerating Productive Finance”

Hana Financial Group announced on May 20 that it had held the ‘2nd Hana One-IB Market Forum (HoF)’ at the headquarters of Hana Securities in Yeouido, Seoul, in order to integrate the group’s corporate finance (IB) capabilities and advance its productive finance support system.

This forum serves as a platform for Hana Financial Group to share insights on changes and prospects in industrial structures, aiming to accelerate the pace of productive finance execution at the group level. This session, in particular, was organized to accelerate a major shift from growth driven by household loans to providing funds to innovative industries in the real economy through ‘productive finance.’

The event was attended by 113 corporate finance specialists from within the group, including Kang Sungmook, Vice Chairman of Hana Financial Group, as well as executives and department heads from group affiliates responsible for investment and productive finance—Hana Bank, Hana Securities, Hana Capital, Hana Alternative Asset Management, and Hana Ventures—and Relationship Managers (RMs).

In the first session, an external expert from the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics & Trade (KIET) was invited to deliver a keynote speech on ‘Changes in Industries and Financial Markets Related to Middle Eastern Geopolitical Risks.’ In the second session, Hana Bank’s Hana Institute of Finance and Hana Securities’ Research Center jointly conducted and shared an in-depth analysis of market environments and promising sectors in key target industries for productive finance, such as AI·infrastructure and K-Bio·healthcare. The third session featured a presentation of successful collaboration cases between Hana Bank and Hana Securities in supporting productive finance through the ‘One-IB’ initiative, followed by discussions on practical corporate support strategies through organic cooperation among affiliates.

Vice Chairman Kang Sungmook emphasized, “In order for finance to truly support corporate growth, a deep understanding of the relevant industries is essential,” adding, “Through regular communication, we will continuously strengthen our internal capabilities and faithfully implement productive finance support, serving as a catalyst for revitalizing the real economy.”

Meanwhile, Hana Financial Group has finalized its 2026 productive finance supply at 17.8 trillion won, an increase of 1.6 trillion won over the original plan. In February of this year, the group also established a new Investment & Productive Finance Division and a Productive Finance Support Team within the holding company.
