DBS Group Holdings and Korean government agency, Korean Trade Insurance Corporation (K-Sure), have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to foster greater collaboration and support for South Korean companies spreading their wings outside their home market. These Korean companies often develop large infrastructure-related projects within the Asia region.

According to the MOU, financial services and solutions will be provided to support South Korean enterprises’ overseas business and investment activities, as well as their export transactions related to Asia and beyond.

In the last five years, DBS and K-Sure have completed six project financing deals together. The projects support the energy and industrial infrastructural needs of Asia’s rapid economic transformation.

DBS CEO Piyush Gupta says, “With this MOU, we will strengthen our cooperation with K-Sure, and find ways to further connect our Korean clients with investment opportunities in the region.”

K-SURE CEO Mr. Lee In Ho says, “K-Sure will continue to closely cooperate with top prominent financial institutions to support Korean companies expanding throughout Asia.”

K-Sure is an official export credit agency under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of Korea. The agency provides insurance services to cover risks from international trade such as export and import of products, capital goods, cultural products and services, contracts on overseas project, and foreign currency exchange.
