Kakao to debut first OpenAI collaboration next month
Kakao said Thursday that it would unveil the first outcome of its collaboration with OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, at its annual developer conference 'if(kakao)' next month, with plans to launch the product by year-end officially. 'We plan to reveal the actual shape of the product in September's 'if(kakao)' event. And before our next earnings announcement, we expect everyone will be able to experience it firsthand,' said Kakao CEO Chung Shin-a during the company's second-quarter earnings conference call. 'Starting in the second half of this year, the artificial intelligence service with the world's largest user base and Korea's dominant mobile platform will join forces to capture the domestic business-to-consumer AI market rapidly.' Kakao also unveiled plans to launch Korea's first on-device AI service based on its lightweight model through its mobile messenger KakaoTalk, signaling a new era of embedded AI experiences. 'Rather than functioning as a separate feature in a fixed space, it will serve as a 'middle layer' that recommends context-aware actions across various parts of KakaoTalk. In time, users will be able to complete necessary tasks entirely within the app,' she said. The announcement came alongside Kakao's release of its second-quarter earnings results, which exceeded market expectations and set new quarterly records for both operating profit and sales. Operating profit for the April-June period jumped 39 percent on-year to 185.9 billion won ($134 million), while revenue rose 1 percent to 2.02 trillion won, according to the company. These results outpaced the market consensus compiled by financial data provider FnGuide, which had forecast 125.4 billion won in operating profit and 1.95 trillion won in sales. Kakao attributed the robust performance to balanced growth across its business lines, particularly advertising, e-commerce, payment and mobility. 'What's especially encouraging is that Kakao has successfully enhanced operational efficiency,' the company said. Platform revenue rose 10 percent on-year to 1.06 trillion won, driven by a 16 percent increase in business message revenue, a key focus area for the company. Commerce-related services, including KakaoTalk-based gifting and group-buying platform TokDeal, posted a 10 percent revenue increase to 221.2 billion won, with self-purchasing via 'Gift to myself' seeing notable growth. Total transaction volume for commerce in the second quarter rose 6 percent to 2.5 trillion won. Sales from Kakao's other platform segments — which include mobility and payment services — climbed 21 percent on-year to 434.8 billion won. The mobility division saw growth driven by parking and express delivery services, while Kakao Pay benefited from strong performance in both financial and platform-based services, achieving double-digit revenue growth. On the contrary, portal business revenue dropped 11 percent on-year to 78.3 billion won. The content segment saw a 7 percent decline in revenue, totaling 973.1 billion won. Gaming revenue fell, but music and story content posted slight gains, each rising 1 percent to 517.5 billion won and 218.7 billion won, respectively.

Saudi Ministry of Finance Welcomes 2025 IMF Article IV Consultation Report
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Saudi Ministry of Finance welcomed the report of the 2025 Article IV consultations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that was issued recently by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The report noted the Kingdom's resilience and strong ability to face external economic shocks and challenges, as well as the continued expansion of its non-oil economic activities, its ability to contain inflation, and the decline in the unemployment rate to its lowest levels in history. The report highlighted the efforts made in disclosing fiscal data, and in studying and analyzing the risks surrounding public finances, while also praising medium-term investment plans and ways to finance them, the government's transition to medium-term financial planning, and the proactive approach adopted in setting spending ceilings for all parties until 2030. It also noted that the direct impact of the escalation of global trade tensions on the Kingdom is limited, and that strong domestic demand and the easing of OPEC+ production cuts will drive economic growth despite growing global uncertainty. The report noted the continued strong growth in the Saudi economy, driven by private investment and consumption, and real non-oil GDP growing 4.5% in 2024 with the expansion of retail, hospitality, and construction, as well as non-oil private investment growing by 6.3% year-on-year. The report said that, in light of increasing global uncertainty and the decline in expectations for commodity prices, strong domestic demand will continue to drive growth in the Kingdom, with real non-oil GDP growth expected to reach 3.4% in 2025, due to the continued implementation of ambitious Saudi Vision 2030 projects and strong credit growth. The report also welcomed the Kingdom's efforts in analyzing a number of scenarios and developing proactive plans to ensure the sustainability of public finances in the event of strong shocks, stressing that prioritizing high-impact projects represents a wise approach to maintaining fiscal sustainability.
