Classification

Service
Retail Banking (35%)

This update announces a climate stress testing initiative but does not directly regulate or mandate specific product offerings, conduct rules, or business model changes for any of the defined FS product/service categories.

Investment Services (25%)

Low confidence — REQUIRES HUMAN REVIEW. While the initiative may eventually affect retail banks' climate risk management, the update is primarily a supervisory and methodological announcement rather than a direct regulatory change to retail banking products or services.

Specialism
ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) (89%)

The update directly addresses mandatory climate stress testing requirements and climate risk integration into financial institutions' risk management frameworks, which are core ESG governance obligations.

Governance (87%)

Mandatory inheritance: ESG is a child of Governance, so Governance must be raised as the secondary tag.

TITLE: South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service Announces Joint Climate Stress Testing Initiative BODY: On March 9, 2026, the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) announced a collaborative climate stress testing initiative with the Bank of Korea and the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). The FSS and Bank of Korea will work with the KMA to develop climate scenarios and conduct a joint climate stress test. The initiative combines the Bank of Korea's expertise in analysing the economic impacts of climate risk, the KMA's specialisation in meteorological and climate data, and the FSS's supervisory capacity in assessing financial institutions' climate risk exposure. The climate scenarios will incorporate physical risks—such as economic losses from natural disasters including droughts and floods—and transition risks, including costs arising from strengthened carbon reduction policies. The joint stress test represents a shift in focus compared to the previous 2024-2025 financial sector climate stress test, which examined long-term impacts over a 30-year horizon aligned with 2050 carbon neutrality pathways. The new initiative will concentrate on climate change and policy impacts likely to materialise within the next five years. The FSS will also recommend that financial institutions conduct their own climate stress tests to enhance their climate risk awareness and analytical capabilities. The Financial Market Stability Bureau's ESG System Risk Analysis Team oversees this initiative. Further details are available from the FSS at 3145-8194.
