Corporate & Finance
NK PRO gives compliance teams, financial analysts, and risk professionals the dedicated DPRK intelligence layer they need: live sanctions data, entity profiles, trade and economic indicators, and primary source monitoring. Use it to identify exposure before it becomes liability.
Why NK PRO for corporate & finance
01
The NK PRO Sanctions Tracker maintains a live, searchable database of all DPRK-related sanctions information from U.N. Panel of Experts reports: entities, individuals, vessels, and aircraft. Updated as designations are published. Searchable by name, date, jurisdiction, and designation type. Cross-reference with the Company Directory and NK Marine Tracker.
02
The NK PRO Company Directory is the most comprehensive English-language directory of DPRK-linked entities, covering 4,500+ state trading companies, front companies, and entities with known DPRK connections. Cross-reference with the NK Marine Tracker for vessel ownership patterns and the NK PRO economy coverage for unusual trade flows.
03
NK PRO’s Currency & Energy Indexes, economic analysis, and Company Directory combine to give analysts a picture of DPRK economic conditions, trade patterns, and financial flows. That context is critical for financial sector exposure assessment, risk modeling, and identifying the commercial actors most exposed to DPRK-linked economic activity.

Social proof
As someone who has followed and assessed developments in North Korea for many years I can not recollect a time in the past few decades when interest was higher. News coverage has expanded exponentially but quantity is no substitute for quality. I have found NK PRO to be the best source for keeping me current on events as well as in assisting my research.
William Newcomb
Former Member, UN Panel of Experts on DPRK
In the 11 years of work training over 2000 North Koreans in economic policy, business, entrepreneurship and infrastructure, I have depended on NK PRO as a rare source of reliable news on an issue plagued by agendas, misinformation, and rumors.
Geoffrey See
Founder, Choson Exchange
I did business in the DPRK for many years, during which time I got to know the place pretty well, and although I stopped some years ago, I still like to keep abreast of developments. In my opinion NK PRO provides accurate and timely reporting drawing on the work of genuine experts, which means I can ignore everything else.
