Woori Financial Group Chairman Yim Jong-ryong on the 16th held the "2026 group management strategy workshop" at the headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul, and said, "Based on trust, sincerity and a sense of urgency, we must steadfastly pursue inclusive finance and consumer protection," adding, "Trust, the essence of finance, never changes."
Yim noted that in September last year the financial sector's first plan for productive and inclusive finance was announced, saying, "What matters now is not who did it first, but who executes it with higher completeness and delivers results." He added, "Productive finance is the field in which Woori Financial Group, a corporate finance powerhouse, has the strongest competitiveness," and said, "Let's also infuse inclusive finance with sincerity and be reborn as a warm financial group that fulfills its social responsibility."
Yim assessed the past three-year term as "Act 1" and said this year will be the starting point of "Act 2." He also emphasized strengthening synergies toward becoming a comprehensive financial group spanning banking, insurance and securities. Yim said, "We must embed an AI-centered management system across the group with the mindset that we are an artificial intelligence (AI) company."
