[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] An Gam-chan, the newly appointed president of BNK Busan Bank, announced efficiency and productivity-centered change and innovation as his inaugural message.

At the inauguration ceremony held at the head office on the 1st, President An emphasized the importance of a "healthy and future-oriented organization" and made the following remarks.

He stated, "I will establish the principles of finance correctly and solidify the unwavering status of Busan Bank," and revealed his plan to "eliminate inefficient work processes across all departments."

President An also expressed his intention to expand non-interest income and, in the long term, enhance the role and functions as an investment bank to strengthen profit-generating capabilities.

President An also plans to strengthen platform competitiveness through strategic alliances with big tech (large information and communication companies) and fintech (financial technology) firms to secure competitiveness in the digital sector.

Graduating from Hongcheon High School in Gangwon Province and Pusan National University, An joined Busan Bank in 1989 and has served as head of the Northern Sales Headquarters, head of the Management Planning Headquarters, head of the Marketing Headquarters, and leader of the Credit Operations Group.

After interview evaluations by the Busan Bank Executive Candidate Recommendation Committee, An was recommended as the final candidate for president and was appointed at the shareholders' meeting on the 25th of last month. His term is two years.
