Kim Wan Su is the current President of the Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Kim Wan Su was deputy finance minister until he became the president of the Central Bank of the D.P.R.K. in October 2004 when Pyongyang dismissed former President Jong Song Thaek (according to Radio Pyongyang).

He attended the annual central bank governors meeting of the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, in June 2004 and June 2005.

At the 2005 meeting, he met Bank of Japan Governor Toshihiko Fukui at the evening reception and exchanged brief words. Fukui told reporters: "I met him briefly at the reception. A substantial number of non-BIS members including North Korea are attending the meeting and it's a good thing."

Accompanying Kim Wan Su, Kim Myong Su, deputy director of the international department at the North Korean central bank said: "We would like to know about the structure of the BIS and we would like to study the international banking system."
