On May 13, Sungyeop Hwang, President of the Korea Financial Investment Association, met with Jacques Plys, Ambassador of Luxembourg to South Korea, to discuss cooperation plans to support Korean financial investment companies’ entry into the European market and to explore global new business opportunities.

During the meeting, both parties explored specific avenues for collaboration, focusing on Luxembourg’s robust asset management infrastructure as well as its rapidly growing digital asset and space industry ecosystems.

Luxembourg is recognized as a leading financial nation in Europe, serving as the administrative headquarters of the European Union (EU) and the continent’s largest asset management hub. In particular, it is a global center for offshore funds and possesses unrivaled competitiveness in international bond listings and sustainable finance. Recently, Luxembourg has emerged as a key partner in digital finance, leading the institutionalization of distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based securities and development of market infrastructure.

Sungyeop Hwang stated, “Luxembourg is Europe’s premier financial hub, excelling in asset management, digital finance, and the space industry. The Association will expand its cooperation channels with Luxembourg to actively support Korean financial investment firms’ expansion abroad and the discovery of investment opportunities in future strategic industries.”

The Korea Financial Investment Association expects that this meeting will not only serve as a catalyst for expanding the global network of the Korean capital market, but also provide Korean securities firms and asset managers with an important springboard to secure leadership in digital finance and future industries in the European market.
