Congratulations to Korea Investment & Securities and all the award-winning organizations on receiving the grand prize.

I hope our capital market introduces and sells good products that are convenient, affordable, and highly profitable for the public. Only then can the fruits of South Korea's economic growth be enjoyed by the people through the capital market, contributing to wealth accumulation and retirement preparation.

Everyone present here today represents the financial investment industry of our country. I urge you to continuously strive to upgrade our capital market into an attractive market that people can trust and invest in.

The government will also ① build advanced laws, systems, and infrastructure, ② strictly punish illegal and unfair trading, and ③ work to spread a mature investment culture based on personal responsibility. As a result, we expect our capital market to become a beloved market by the people that enjoys the fruits of real economy growth.

The year 2023 was eventful, with sustained high interest rates and increased geopolitical uncertainties. I would like to express my gratitude and encouragement to everyone in the financial investment industry who worked hard throughout the year, and once again congratulate the award recipients. Just as the ground hardens after rain, I wish you a year full of only good things in the coming year.
