Kexim's funding machine

Funding guy: Choi Sung-hwan

Choi Sung-hwan, the chief financial officer of Export-Import Bank of Korea (Kexim) controls the reins of one of Asia’s biggest funding machines. The Seoul-headquartered policy bank raised about $11 billion from debt markets last year, making it one of Asia’s most prolific borrowers and a trendsetter for a swath of Korean companies that tap debt markets.
