Korea Securities Depository Holds 2025 Global Strategy Seminar for Activating Government Bond Omnibus Accounts
The Korea Securities Depository held the "2025 Global Strategy Seminar for Activating Government Bond Omnibus Accounts" at the Conrad Hotel in Yeouido on December 1.
Approximately 100 participants from 40 organizations attended the event, including government agencies such as the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the National Tax Service, international organizations such as the International Central Securities Depositories (ICSD), the International Capital Market Association (ICMA), and Bloomberg, as well as domestic securities firms, banks, and other market participants.
The seminar featured presentations on the current status of government bond omnibus account operations and related institutional improvements. A panel discussion was also held on ways to enhance liquidity through government bond omnibus accounts. The event celebrated the achievement of reaching a custody balance of 15 trillion won approximately 17 months after the launch of the government bond omnibus account service in June of last year, and explored future directions for development.
