Research means answering the questions of our time. We seek the most honest answers to the hardest questions in trade and finance.
Welcome to the Institute of Global Trade & Finance (GTFI). I am Dohyun Kim, Director of the Institute, and it is my privilege to greet you here.
Today's world stands at the intersection of three powerful currents: the reshaping of the global trade order, the digital transformation of financial markets, and the normalization of geopolitical risk. Korea's economy now requires more rigorous analysis and more effective policy solutions than ever before.
Since its founding in 2008, GTFI has conducted independent and rigorous research across trade policy, financial regulation, FX and capital markets, and economic governance. Our enduring commitment is to be a 'trusted research institute' that pursues both academic depth and policy relevance.
We will continue to serve as a bridge between governments, industries, academia, and the international community — designing the future of trade and finance together. Your interest, engagement and critique are essential to our journey.
Thank you.
Dohyun Kim
Director
