Proactive Investment for Advancing as a New Maritime Power via the Arctic Sea Route
Group Affiliates Join Forces, Plans to Expand Investment
BNK Financial Group (Chairman Bin Daein) is launching a fund to participate in the Arctic Sea Route development project. By doing so, the group is joining the national initiative to pioneer the Arctic Sea Route as a key financial player.
On October 24, BNK Financial Group announced its plan to establish a fund that will discover and invest in related industries and companies, in line with the government's policy direction for developing the Arctic Sea Route and advancing as a new maritime powerhouse.
The group intends to set up the fund through joint investment by its major affiliates, and then gradually attract additional investors to expand the scale of investment.
This initiative is part of BNK Financial Group's recently announced "Declaration of Hope for the Regional Economy," focusing on productive finance. The group aims to make proactive investments by identifying industries and companies in accordance with the government's plan to establish the "2030 Arctic Sea Route New Strategy." It also plans to build a portfolio related to beneficiary industries such as shipbuilding and eco-friendly energy, in response to the shifting paradigm of global hegemony competition.
A BNK Financial Group representative stated, "As a leading financial group representing the region, we will establish and operate a jointly invested fund among our affiliates to support government policies for developing the maritime capital, such as the relocation of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. BNK Financial Group will devote its efforts to investment projects that contribute to the nation's emergence as a new maritime powerhouse, including the pioneering of the Arctic Sea Route."
