2. Operating model
KDB’s Tokyo branch page states that the branch was opened in 1991 after a Tokyo office that began in 1969. It describes the branch as important to KDB’s global business, providing project finance, ship and aircraft finance, syndicated loans, trade finance, and customized solutions to Korean companies in Japan, Japanese companies, and multinationals.
The page should therefore sit partly in foreign-bank branch analysis and partly in policy-finance adjacency.
