KSD Establishes 'Vision 2030' and Organizational Restructuring... "Preparing for a New Decade"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Korea Securities Depository (KSD) has established a future strategy, 'KSD Vision 2030,' preparing for a new decade following the inauguration of President Lee Myung-ho, and on the 11th, carried out organizational restructuring and personnel changes to efficiently promote it.

KSD Vision 2030 aims to transform KSD into a market-oriented company with future competitiveness, selecting 21 strategic projects and 80 tasks under three main directions: 'User-Centered KSD, Market-Centered KSD, and Social Value-Centered KSD.'

In particular, this year, KSD plans to accelerate key projects such as establishing a venture investment support platform (VentureNet), building an integrated information system for securitized bonds, developing an Asia Regional Fund Passport (ARFP) support system, creating a real-time risk monitoring system for securities lending brokerage, and supporting innovative and startup companies (K-Camp and coworking spaces).

To absorb and create new market demand according to KSD Vision 2030 and systematically manage risks arising from changes in the financial environment, KSD changed its existing structure from 8 headquarters and 31 departments to 9 headquarters and 33 departments.

First, to respond to new demands in the asset management industry, including private equity funds and venture capital, the Asset Management Support Headquarters was newly established. Additionally, the Corporate Support Headquarters was reorganized to provide comprehensive services specialized for innovative and startup companies, and the Job Creation Headquarters was restructured into the Win-Win Growth Headquarters to realize social value linked to business and strengthen customer satisfaction management. To respond swiftly to risks and IT incidents due to the expansion of international operations, the planning and service functions of the international department were separated, and the IT Risk Management Department was newly established.

Along with this, to successfully promote KSD Vision 2030, a large-scale personnel transfer was conducted, providing equal opportunities to employees with capabilities and experience. As a result, the number of female executives increased from 14 to 25.

President Lee Myung-ho stated, "The organizational restructuring and personnel changes based on KSD Vision 2030 are expected to be an opportunity for KSD to take a leap forward since the introduction of the electronic securities system," adding, "KSD will continue to demonstrate constant innovation as a core infrastructure of financial investment."
