KB Financial activates emergency response system to address Middle East conflict risks
KB Financial Group said on Monday it has activated a group-wide emergency response system as geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East raises the possibility of greater volatility in financial markets at home and abroad. It said it will minimise customer inconvenience while providing financial support for companies at risk of damage. KB Kookmin Bank began a disaster recovery support programme on March 1 for exporters and smaller firms operating overseas.
