Gwangju Bank (President Ko Byungil) announced on the 21st that it held the 2025 Management Strategy Meeting at KJ Sangsaengmaru in Gwangju Bank on the 20th to discuss this year's key business plans.

During the management strategy meeting, departments and employees who achieved outstanding results last year were awarded and encouraged. In addition, the meeting included presentations on last year's management performance and the main business plans for 2025, sharing specific management policies and key strategic directions.

To enhance employees' sales capabilities, Hwang Hyunjin, CEO of Real Sales Co., who holds the Guinness record for the highest home shopping sales, was invited to give a special lecture on the theme "The Dignity of Sales That Draws Tomorrow."

President Ko Byungil emphasized the need to effectively respond to the rapidly changing financial market by strengthening future growth engines, enhancing core competencies, advancing region-focused and ESG management, and promoting qualitative growth for sound management.

Detailed strategies include establishing a Future Strategy Team and a Foreigner Business Strategy Team to pioneer new markets and strengthen future growth engines; implementing customer-tailored channel strategies through the operation of Corporate Finance Centers, regional WM Lounges, and specialized financial centers for foreigners; securing future competitiveness by enhancing digital capabilities; expanding region-specialized ESG management through win-win financial support; and increasing strategic assets through core businesses.

In particular, he urged the bank to closely monitor the volatility of the financial market amid unstable domestic and international political situations and to accelerate the growth of operating assets through bold leadership to become a leading bank.

President Ko Byungil stated, "With the recent contraction of the real estate market and the prospect of Korea's economic growth remaining at around 1%, the volatility of the foreign exchange market is increasing due to the launch of the fourth internet-only bank and political uncertainty. The first half of this year is expected to bring a financial environment akin to 'Sangjeonbyeokhae.' It is urgent to devise measures to effectively respond to this uncertain financial environment."
