FINANCIAL AND INSURANCE ACTIVITIES Companies in North Korea
Financial and Insurance Activities companies in North Korea. Financial institutions are both the most scrutinised entities in this directory and the ones performing that same scrutiny on everyone else. Banks, insurers, investment managers, and brokerages face the strictest beneficial-ownership, fitness-and-propriety, and anti-money-laundering disclosure rules of any sector — because a bank's own KYC checks are only as reliable as the ownership picture behind the bank itself. That circularity is why financial-sector ownership carries more regulatory weight than the balance sheet alone would suggest.

Who uses North Korea financial and insurance activities ownership data
The three checks this sector's data is most often run for.
A currency crisis prompted a crackdown on private exchange trading
North Korea’s won is non-convertible, with a separate foreign-currency won system used for foreigners and state transactions; specialist reporting relying on source networks inside the country describes the black-market dollar exchange rate rising from roughly 8,000 won in mid-2024 to nearly 20,000 won by March 2025, more than doubling in under a year, prompting a government crackdown on private currency trading and a push toward state-supervised exchange counters posting daily rates. No independently verifiable data on North Korea’s formal banking sector or its state-owned insurer, the Korea National Insurance Corporation, could be found for this period.
