Korea Development Bank (KDB) and Export-Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM) are reviewing emergency financial support measures for Korea National Oil Corporation (KNOC) in response to the energy crisis triggered by Middle East instability.

Policy Banks Move to Strengthen Energy Security

KDB and KEXIM recently held an emergency meeting to minimize the impact on domestic energy supply as geopolitical instability in the Middle East intensifies. The two institutions reportedly focused on discussing financial support measures to strengthen KNOC's crude oil import and reserve capacity.

Exploring Liquidity Support for KNOC

The meeting reviewed specific financial support measures including liquidity support for KNOC's crude oil procurement and reserve projects, and expansion of emergency credit facilities. The government is establishing a preemptive response system through policy financial institutions to prepare for potential surges in international oil prices due to Middle East developments.

As energy security is fundamental to the national economy, both institutions plan to maintain a constant monitoring system to enable rapid financial support when necessary.
