NongHyup Financial Activates Emergency Monitoring and Response System for Middle East Crisis

Reviewing Middle East Exposure and Impact on Related Industries

NH NongHyup Financial Group announced on March 2 that it has activated an emergency monitoring and response system in light of the situation in the Middle East, including the U.S. airstrike on Iran.

In response to market uncertainty, the financial group established the “NongHyup Financial One-Firm Council” at the group level on February 28.

Additionally, as the Middle East issue unfolded, heads of the “Market Response Agile Organization” departments held an emergency meeting on the same day. They discussed checking exposure to Middle Eastern countries, assessing the impact on related industries, managing risks by category due to heightened geopolitical risks, and devising support measures for affected companies.

The group also immediately initiated a “Financial Market Emergency Monitoring and Response System” at the financial group level, and will regularly review the impact on affiliates’ financial portfolios. In alignment with the government’s response, the group pledged to fully support affected companies and contribute to market stabilization.

Furthermore, in preparation for increased oil price volatility, the group plans to monitor not only the impact on related industries, but also the effects at the broader NongHyup group level, and to develop corresponding countermeasures.
