NH Nonghyup Financial Group outlines 2026 business strategy

NH Nonghyup Financial Group has established its business strategy for 2026, focusing on the core themes of 'connection, detail, and evolution.' Chairman Lee Chan-woo emphasized the expansion of productive and inclusive finance to revitalize regional economies and support future growth industries.

Key initiatives include strengthening comprehensive financial systems linked to regional strategic industries, such as AI, semiconductors, vaccines, and energy. The group plans to establish the 'NH Financial Private Venture Mother Fund,' a 100 billion won fund aimed at investing in innovative companies within the high-tech sectors of AI, semiconductors, mobility, and robotics.

To promote inclusive finance, the group will launch the 'NH Miso Microfinance Foundation' within the year, supported by a 100 billion won contribution from its subsidiaries. This foundation will assist vulnerable groups, including youth and rural residents, who face difficulties accessing institutional finance. Additionally, the group will expand financial products for mid-to-low credit borrowers and enhance alternative credit evaluation models using non-financial data.
