According to Yonhap News,

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Han Ji-hoon = The Export-Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM) announced on the 22nd that it will provide 28 trillion won (approx. USD 20.8 billion) in policy financing over the next five years to foster "K-Culture" as a key export engine.

KEXIM will offer preferential interest rates of up to 1.2 percentage points (p) for K-Culture projects. Companies participating in win-win financial programs can receive an additional 0.3p, totaling a 1.5p rate cut.

To help early-stage companies secure growth capital, KEXIM plans to establish K-Culture blind funds and expand investments in project funds targeting the global market. Furthermore, it will actively support interbank lending (on-lending) and M&A financing to help domestic firms secure global logistics networks and settle in overseas markets.

"K-Culture is a new export growth axis for our economy," a KEXIM official said. "By expanding financial support, we will be a reliable partner for our companies exploring the global cultural market."
