"Overseas IB Business Expansion"... Hana Bank Partners with Poland Development Bank

Cooperation in Ukraine Reconstruction Projects and Promotion of Financial Support for Korean Companies' Entry

Hana Bank is expanding its overseas IB (investment banking) business by partnering with a Polish state-owned bank.

On the 20th, Hana Bank announced that Lee Seung-yeol, CEO of Hana Bank, decided to cooperate with the Polish Development Bank (BGK) during his visit to BGK's headquarters in Warsaw, Poland on the 13th. The Polish Development Bank, established in 1924, is the only state-owned bank in Poland supporting the country's economic and industrial development.

Lee Seung-yeol, CEO of Hana Bank, and Violetta Dasi?ska-Musi?ka, President of BGK, agreed to continue cooperation between the two banks in various global IB business sectors, including ▲sharing global networks and market information ▲infrastructure ▲aircraft ▲real estate ▲mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

Through this, the two banks plan to strengthen cooperation in global financial business and promote development and reconstruction projects in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine, which is facing difficulties due to the war, as well as the expansion of local production facilities.

Additionally, considering that Poland, one of Korea's top three export countries within the European Union (EU), has recently seen active entry of Korean companies in fields such as secondary batteries and defense, Hana Bank plans to actively support financing to help Korean companies expand their local presence.

Lee Seung-yeol, CEO of Hana Bank, stated, "Regarding development and reconstruction projects in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine, the entry of Korean companies such as domestic construction firms is expected to expand in the future," adding, "This meeting will serve as a catalyst for expanding financial support for Ukraine's reconstruction projects."

Hana Bank visited the headquarters of Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK) located in Warsaw, Poland, on the 13th (local time) to discuss cooperation plans in various global IB business sectors with BGK. Through this, the two countries aim to strengthen economic cooperation in global financial projects and expand global IB businesses such as development and reconstruction projects in Eastern Europe for Ukraine, which is facing difficulties due to the war, and the expansion of local production facilities.
