NH Nonghyup Financial Group announced on November 5 that it will launch the 'NH Win-Win Growth Project,' which aims to supply a total of 108 trillion won in productive and inclusive finance over the next five years.

Of the 108 trillion won, Nonghyup Financial Group plans to allocate 93 trillion won to productive finance and 15 trillion won to inclusive finance. A 'Special Committee on Productive Finance' will also be established directly under the chairman. Chanwoo Lee, Chairman of Nonghyup Financial Group, will personally oversee the expansion of productive finance and the cooperation system among subsidiaries.

Since October 2, Nonghyup Financial Group has been operating a dedicated organization to promote productive finance. The group is running three divisions: ▲Venture Capital/Equity, ▲Investment & Lending, and ▲National Growth Fund, each with its own implementation structure.

The Venture Capital and Equity Division (approximately 15 trillion won) will focus on expanding venture capital and investments in agricultural and agri-food companies, mainly through the Integrated Investment Management Account (IMA). The group also plans to secure future growth engines by promoting new businesses such as the Business Development Company (BDC), managing the Growth-Driven Korea Fund, and revitalizing venture funds.

The Investment & Lending Division (approximately 68 trillion won) will increase business growth support loans, especially for high-tech strategic industries, regionally specialized industries, and start-up ventures. In addition, the group will strengthen financial support, such as offering preferential interest rates to companies affected by tariffs.

The National Growth Fund Division (approximately 10 trillion won) will actively pursue joint public-private investments in connection with the Korea Development Bank’s high-tech strategic fund and government-led regional specialization projects.

Chairman Lee stated, "We will move toward win-win growth through change and innovation," adding, "We aim to become a financial group that drives innovation and growth in the Korean economy."
