NH NongHyup Bank CEO Kang Tae-young Pledges More On-Site Support in South Gyeongsang

Kang Tae-young, CEO of NH NongHyup Bank, visited key industrial sites in South Gyeongsang Province to review business strategy and discuss ways to expand what the bank called “productive finance.”

NH NongHyup Bank said April 15 that Kang toured the region for two days, from April 13 to 14, to inspect major local industries and consider financial support measures.

The bank said the trip aimed to strengthen support for the province’s core marine, aerospace and defense sectors and to improve customer-focused service through communication with frontline staff.

On April 13, Kang attended the opening ceremony at the bank’s South Gyeongsang headquarters for the “Southeast NongHyup Financial Comprehensive Support Center for Marine, Aerospace and Defense Industries.” The center will provide tailored financial consulting and specialized products for companies in shipbuilding and marine industries, aerospace, and defense in the region.

On April 14, Kang visited Samsung Heavy Industries’ Geoje shipyard and Hanwha Aerospace’s plant in Changwon. He met with company officials to discuss financial support and cooperation measures aimed at expanding exports and shifting toward higher value-added industries.

“South Gyeongsang is a key hub of Korea’s manufacturing base, and sustained growth in marine, aerospace and defense industries will strengthen the nation’s economic competitiveness,” Kang said. “We will continue to expand NongHyup Bank’s productive finance by providing on-site, field-centered support and growing together with local communities.”
