Korea Banking Risk Dialogue

The Korean banking industry is now in the process of implementing new risk management infrastructure and is on the path of becoming Basel III compliant. However, Korean banks are facing new challenges, such as encountering greater exposure to the international funding cost than other banks and Asia, and they are confronting the issue of maintaining a healthy ROA in the nation’s highly liquid environment.

This conversation with the international community is designed to enable Korean decision makers to discuss and form a composite view of possible solutions to these pressing issues that they face.

The dialogue is a full-day forum, comprising four sessions, focusing broadly on the following key risk management issues faced by Korea’s banking industry:

• Market and Macroeconomic outlook for Korea
• Reducing concentration risk.
• Improving capabilities to comply with increasing regulatory reporting requirement
• Reducing portfolio’s volatility with improved stress-testing capabilities

This dialogue will also provide partner organizations, including financial institutions, consulting firms and technology providers an opportunity to interact with decision makers who are at the forefront of developing enterprise level risk infrastructure for Korean banks.
