Hana Financial Group said on Feb. 4 it held the "2026 1st Hana One-IB Market Forum" on Feb. 3 at Hana Securities' headquarters in Yeouido to strengthen internal capabilities and enhance execution of productive finance.

Hana Financial Research Institute presented industry conditions and outlooks for three sectors: energy, defence and chemicals. It focused its advice on surging power demand driven by rapid AI industry growth and responses to energy mix policy, a defence industry expanding into maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, and survival strategies for the chemicals sector amid intensifying global competition.

Hana Securities' research centre introduced the purpose and 추진 strategy of One-IB, which reorganised the group's investment banking execution system around securities. It also defined semiconductors as a key asset for national security and AI infrastructure and shared forecasts for the global semiconductor market and supply plans. It analysed response strategies by major companies to review the group's opportunities and risks at the same time.

Hana Financial said it will set up dedicated "Productive Finance Support Teams" at its bank and brokerage to provide swift and systematic support for productive finance. The bank created a new review team for advanced strategic industries within its corporate credit review division.

Through the move, the group said it will have dedicated organisations and a professional loan review system for supporting productive finance. It plans to speed support through dedicated special-sale products for productive finance, including "Core Growth Industry Loans" and "Industrial Complex Growth Dream Loans".

Hana Bank revamped KPI items to expand the practical supply of productive finance. It will offer various incentives, including adding a bonus item and applying performance weightings when making new corporate loan supply to "core advanced industries" selected by Hana Financial Research Institute.

It will also hold briefings to raise understanding of productive finance at sales sites and share insights on changes in industrial structure and outlooks with corporate finance specialists (RMs). It plans to focus bank-wide capabilities on expanding the supply of productive finance corporate loans.

Hana Financial plans to support productive finance totalling 84 trillion won by 2030, starting with 17.8 trillion won this year.

Hana Financial Chairman Ham Young-joo (함영주) said, "For finance to properly help corporate growth, a deep understanding of the relevant industry is essential." He added, "We will regularise this forum to continuously strengthen internal capabilities and, based on that, execute swift and systematic productive finance support without a hitch."
