Financial Services and Investment
The Financial Services Industry Group focuses on unlocking investment opportunities and strengthening capital flows between Australia and Korea.
AKBC Financial Services and Investment Forum with KOFIA Delegation (2025)
As global capital seeks stable, high-return investment opportunities, Australia continues to attract growing interest from Korean institutional investors across infrastructure, energy, real estate, and emerging sectors linked to the energy transition. At the same time, both countries share a strong focus on decarbonisation, creating new opportunities for financing across clean energy and sustainable investment.
Despite Korea being Australia’s fourth-largest two-way trading partner, it remains only the 20th largest source of foreign investment into Australia, highlighting the significant untapped potential in bilateral investment. This Industry Group provides a direct platform for members to engage with Korean investors, financial institutions, and policymakers to help unlock these opportunities.
AKBC works closely with key stakeholders, including the Korea Financial Investment Association (KOFIA), to facilitate engagement between Korean and Australian financial markets, including inbound delegations, market briefings, and targeted introductions.
Access is available to members at the Advance, Immerse, and Accelerate levels, with access to all Industry Groups included as part of these memberships.
