The Korea Exchange announced on July 20, 2026, that it has provided 70 million KRW in financial education sponsorship funds to the Youth Financial Education Council to strengthen the financial capabilities of students at specialized high schools who are about to enter society.

The donation ceremony, held at the Busan headquarters, was attended by Seongho Jung, Secretary General of the KRX National Happiness Foundation, Ki-Hyo Park, Secretary General of the Youth Financial Education Council, and 22 students from Daegu Jeil Women's Commercial High School.

Since 2012, the exchange has been consistently implementing various financial education programs to help young people with limited access to financial education understand basic financial concepts and grow into responsible financial consumers.

This year, the exchange plans to focus on providing support through 'KRX On-Site Financial Education' and 'KRX Visiting Financial Education,' which are customized financial education programs aimed at strengthening the economic independence of 2,000 specialized high school and regular high school students in the Busan area.

Eunbo Jeong, Chairman of the Korea Exchange, stated, "This is practical and meaningful education that helps young people become independent agents in economic decision-making," emphasizing, "We will continue to work to eliminate blind spots in financial education and provide ongoing support so that various members of society can design stable futures through finance."
