According to Yonhap Infomax, IBK Corporate Bank's market-sourced bond financing reached 104.6 trillion won in September, up 13.9 trillion won or 15.4% year-over-year, surpassing window deposits for the first time. The proportion of market-sourced financing in total bond issuance rose from 47.98% at end of 2025 to 51.81% in September, while deposit balances remained essentially flat, declining 15.8 billion won year-over-year.
The shift reflects expanded lending to small and medium enterprises, which grew 10.1 trillion won to 272 trillion won in total outstanding loans, accounting for approximately 96% of total loan growth.
