The Export–Import Bank of Korea (Korean: 한국수출입은행), also commonly known as the Korea Eximbank (KEXIM), is the official export credit agency of South Korea.[1]
Overview
[edit | edit source]The bank was first established in 1976.[1] Its primary purpose is to support South Korea's export-led economy by providing loans, financing mega projects and thereby facilitating economic cooperation with other countries.[1]
Government funds
[edit | edit source]The bank manages the following government funds:
- Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF): The EDCF evaluates and implements aid projects in developing countries.[2]
- Inter-Korean Cooperation Fund (IKCF): The IKCF oversees an economic cooperation program with North Korea and serves as a clearing settlement bank with the Foreign Trade Bank of North Korea.[2]
Aid programs
[edit | edit source]On January 6, 2013, the bank announced its decision to provide loans and credit guarantees worth US$917 million to entertainment and food firms over the next three years to promote the spread of the Korean Wave in foreign countries. A spokesman representing the bank told reporters that K-pop, Korean dramas, as well as traditional Korean cuisine have huge growth potential, and that exporters of such cultural content deserve more investment and financial support.[3]
