Gov't unveils 5-year strategy for global cultural leadership, media innovation
The Lee Jae Myung administration on Wednesday unveiled a series of plans to cement the country's position as a global cultural powerhouse and to build a sustainable digital and media ecosystem. The five-year plan outlines bold growth targets for the K-culture industry while reinforcing the foundations of artistic creation and public participation. Under the first pillar of strengthening the country's position as a global cultural powerhouse, the government aims to grow the K-culture market to 300 trillion won ($216 billion) by 2030, up from an estimated 206 trillion won in 2023. It also seeks to boost related industry exports to 50 trillion won and increase annual inbound tourism to 30 million visitors, compared with 16.37 million in 2024. To achieve these goals, the government will facilitate industrial growth with policy financing of 10 trillion won, tax benefits and securing arenas for performances. Key sectors such as video, music and gaming will receive targeted support, while K-art, including literature, musicals and fine arts, Korean language and traditional culture will be promoted. The plan also emphasizes expanding exports of culture-related industries, from food and beauty to tourism, and enhancing the infrastructure for both domestic and international visitors. As the second pillar, the government aims to raise the national cultural arts attendance rate from 63 percent in 2024 to 70 percent by 2030, and the participation rate in daily sports from 60.7 percent in 2024 to 65 percent by 2030. Measures will include creating more creative spaces and improving welfare for artists, developing arts and humanities programs for children and youth, and expanding cultural and sports facilities accessible to all age groups. A new Cultural Powerhouse Committee will oversee policy, while increased cultural funding will support long-term growth. The government's vision extends to building a forward-looking digital and media ecosystem. The first goal is to restore public service values in broadcasting through improved governance of public broadcasters, ensuring independence, and supporting educational and disaster-response content. Accessibility for disabled viewers will also be strengthened. To ensure sustainable growth, a proposed Media Development Committee will coordinate legal reforms, and initiatives will connect small and medium-sized enterprises with broadcasting and pay-TV advertising opportunities. Support will be provided for the overseas expansion of K-platforms and the introduction of artificial intelligence into broadcast media. Finally, the strategy prioritizes a user-centered digital environment, with stricter measures to combat misinformation, safeguard platform users from harm and strengthen regulations against illegal spam.

Seoul shares drop for 3rd day ahead of US inflation data
South Korean stocks fell for the third consecutive session Tuesday as investors stayed cautious ahead of US inflation data, a key barometer of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. The local currency slipped slightly against the US dollar. The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index lost 16.86 points, or 0.53 percent, to close at 3,189.91. The index has remained in negative territory since Friday. Trade volume was moderate at 369.6 million shares worth 10.05 trillion won ($7.2 billion), with decliners beating gainers 547 to 343. Foreign and institutional investors sold a net 60.05 billion won and 98 billion won worth of stocks, respectively, while individuals bought a net 63.5 billion won. Analysts noted that investors were awaiting US consumer price data due Tuesday (US time), which could provide clues on the Federal Reserve's future interest rate path. "Investors are waiting to see as the figures could prompt a possible rate cut by the Federal Reserve," Lee Jae-won, an analyst at Shinhan Securities Co., said, noting the US consumer price data is set to be released at 9:30 p.m. (Seoul time). Investors are also waiting for the outcome of consultations between the government and the ruling party on scrapping earlier plans to tighten capital gains tax rules. Energy, shipbuilding and entertainment shares led the decline. Doosan Enerbility slumped 5.62 percent to 65,500 won, and Korea Electric Power Corp. lost 1.15 percent to 38,550 won. Major shipyard HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering dropped 2.06 percent to 356,000 won, while Hanwha Ocean retreated 2.8 percent to 104,000 won. Entertainment giant CJ ENM skidded 0.8 percent to 74,400 won, and K-pop powerhouse Hybe dipped 2.42 percent to 282,000 won. Top-cap Samsung Electronics rose 0.14 percent to 71,100 won, with its chipmaking rival SK hynix gaining 0.75 percent to 269,000 won. Major gamemaker NCSOFT soared 10.12 percent to 223,000 won on its better-than-expected second-quarter earnings report. The local currency was quoted at 1,389.9 won against the greenback at 3:30 p.m., down 1.9 won from the previous session. (Yonhap)

Citi eyes Korea's mid-market growth as key global hub
From K-beauty to tech and manufacturing, Citi supports Korean exporters with cross-border financing Tasnim Ghiawadwala, global head of commercial banking at Citi, reaffirmed the bank's long-term commitment to Korea, describing the country as a hub of innovative mid-sized companies eager to capture global market share. From cosmetics brands breaking into European retail chains to industrial suppliers expanding alongside global clients, she said Korea's export-oriented companies offer fertile ground for the bank's cross-border financing and advisory services. Making her first visit to Korea since assuming her role in 2021, Ghiawadwala spent three days meeting key commercial banking clients and reaffirmed Citi's long-term commitment to the Korean market. 'As Citi continues to grow its commercial banking client base worldwide, Korea remains a strategically important market within its global franchise,' Ghiawadwala said in an exclusive interview with The Korea Herald while visiting Seoul starting Tuesday. She shared her views on Citi's global strategy, how Citi Commercial Bank (CCB) supports client growth across markets and why Korea is integral to the bank's mid-market ambitions. Q. How important is the Korea market to CCB, and what does Citi hope to achieve here? Korea is an incredibly important market for CCB. We see Korea as one of the more exciting and active markets in Asia with innovative mid-sized companies disrupting long-established industries globally or reshaping the state of the global supply chain. Take beauty and skincare as an example. Since COVID-19, there's been an explosion of demand for Korean beauty and skincare brands not only at home but abroad as well – in the UK, Boots, a well-known pharmaceutical and beauty store, has started carrying select Korean beauty brands. CCB Korea provides banking services to the full K-beauty ecosystem, including major cosmetic ODMs, K-beauty brands and online retailers to aid in their global expansion. For example, a leading Korean skincare manufacturer seeking to set up overseas manufacturing facilities needs capital – that's where we can step up and support not just in one country but across the globe, including China and the US. A Korean online retailer selling abroad in the US and select European and Middle Eastern markets needs support with FX hedging and payments – again, CCB has provided those essential products and services to help grow sales. In recent years, Citi has supported Korean companies in strategic cross-border initiatives and maintained a strong relationship with K-SURE, aiding outbound financing and export capacity building. Q. What are some emerging industries or sectors in Korea where CCB sees strong growth potential, and how is Citi helping clients tap into those opportunities? In Korea, Citi Commercial Bank is structured by industry verticals, with teams of bankers specializing in specific industries. This allows us to deliver tailored financial solutions leveraging Citi's global capabilities across financing, global cash management, FX or cross-border expansion. Two sectors with strong momentum are digital technology & communication and industrials. These include online travel agencies, K-beauty ecosystem, cloud services, platform businesses, and mid-sized Korean suppliers across auto-parts, semiconductors, chemicals, and consumer electronics – many critical partners in the value chains of Korea's leading corporates. As these companies grow globally and expand production alongside their clients, Citi provides working capital loans and global cash management. For example, we support Korean suppliers entering new markets with solutions to manage liquidity, optimize FX flows, and navigate regulatory environments. Q. Could you tell us more about Citi Commercial Bank – the types of clients you serve, the financial solutions you provide, and where CCB operates globally? Citi Commercial Bank is an important part of Citi's strategy and a key growth driver. We have identified a significant opportunity to expand Citi's value proposition to mid-sized corporates globally. Our aim is to deliver all products and solutions available at Citi — payments, liquidity management, trade finance, working capital, hedging and advisory services — to mid-sized corporates throughout our global network spanning more than 90 countries. We generally define our market segment as companies with annual sales between $10 million and $3 billion. Our client base typically consists of mid-sized corporates that either already operate in multiple geographies or have plans for international expansion. As a leading global bank with an extensive network, we support these clients with diverse products across multiple countries and entities. Q. How important is the CCB business to Citi's overall franchise? How does CCB contribute to the bank's equity story? CCB is a significant contributor to our banking franchise and broader Citi. Within Banking, we work closely with the Investment Bank and Corporate Bank to provide strategic client coverage. We offer select mid-sized clients access to investment banking products and solutions, supporting them through their entire life cycle. We also advise finance and treasury teams and C-suite executives, tailoring financial strategies to their needs. This may involve leveraging products from other Citi businesses, such as treasury management, working capital and FX hedging. Many clients are privately owned, so we partner with our Wealth business to support founders and senior management with wealth management, enabling seamless management of financial and business affairs. Q. What are your key global priorities for the CCB business? Our key priorities include executing the 2022 growth strategy, aiming to double our market share in the addressable wallet to 4 percent. We've advanced initiatives such as upskilling bankers with training on market knowledge and Citi's product offerings, enhancing client-centric advisory. We launched CitiDirect Commercial Banking – a digital platform providing clients one-stop access to products and some self-service capabilities. Global banker driving Citi's mid-market push Before rejoining Citi in 2021 to lead Citi Commercial Bank, Ghiawadwala held senior leadership roles at Barclays and Citi across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, driving business expansion, innovation and key initiatives such as the UK COVID-19 government loan schemes. With over 20 years of experience in investment, corporate and commercial banking, she is recognized for her leadership in promoting workplace equality and diversity. She holds a degree from King's College London and is a Chartered Management Accountant. hnpark@
