CASouth Korea successfully overcame the 1997 IMF foreign exchange crisis and the 2008 global financial crisis, establishing one of the most resilient and sound financial environments in the world today.

The primary factor behind Korea’s ability to surmount these financial crises lies in its Deposit Insurance System. This system has served as a critical "bulwark," protecting depositors' assets and stabilizing financial markets during times of turmoil. It enabled the resolution of insolvencies through public funds and industry-specific contributions during critical periods.

In this presentation, Ms. Huh will outline the roles and functions of the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation (KDIC) and emphasize the significance of the deposit insurance system in the process of Korea’s financial recovery. Furthermore, she will share specific examples of KDIC’s world-class methods for resolving non-performing assets and recovering hidden assets.

Event is exclusive to CKS Visiting Scholars, graduate/undergraduate students, and faculty
