[CE Division] The CE Division is satisfying customers’ needs and leading the global digital era by continuously offering new products featuring innovative technology, unique designs, and enhanced value propositions. TV is the core product of CE. The Company has maintained its position as the market leader for 14 consecutive years by leveraging competitive advantages in hardware such as LCD/LED TVs as well as software driven product features within our Smart TV product portfolio. We will continue to expand our market leadership based on our competitive edge in the premium segment through our 8K QLED and ultra-large products to name a few. Samsung Electronics Half-year Business Report 4 / 212 [IM Division] The IM Division operates the Mobile Communication Business, which produces and sells smart mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and wearables. For smartphones, a key product of the business, we have developed a lineup ranging from low-end right through to premium models, and have achieved growth in both advanced and emerging markets with the Galaxy series. We will lead growth of the smartphone market and deliver exceptional user experiences by: 1) offering innovative hardware features such as new form factors (based on flexible OLED technology), high-definition cameras, biometric sensors, and battery charger technologies; 2) improving software capabilities of mobile payment service Samsung Pay and AI platform Bixby; and 3) investing in future growth drivers such as Cloud, IoT, healthcare, AR, and VR. At the same time, we will lead the global 5G market based on our end-to-end solutions, which encompass handsets, chipsets, as well as our commercialization experience in initial 5G markets. [DS Division] The Memory Business, System LSI Business, Foundry Business, and Display Panel (“DP”) Business make up the DS Division. The Memory Business manufactures and sells DRAM and NAND products; the System LSI Business designs and sells mobile application processors (“mobile APs” or “APs”) and camera sensor chips; the Foundry Business is in charge of consignment production of semiconductors; and the DP Business manufactures and sells display panels. The Company constantly works to increase its influence on end-product manufacturers and create new demand through technological breakthroughs and the development of high quality components as it has done with APs—which serve as the brains of mobile products—and with memory components like DRAM via enhanced capacity and density. The Memory Business has maintained its position at the top of the global memory market by sustaining cost competitiveness and applying the latest advanced process technology in each technological iteration. The System LSI Business has not been complacent, expanding its focus from mobile to include automotive chips, and will stay at the forefront of the market by offering differentiated products such as APs and CISs and strengthening competitiveness via its advanced manufacturing process technology. In 2019, the Foundry Business introduced the world’s first 7-nano product manufactured with EUV technology. Leveraging its capabilities, the business will gain market leadership in 2020 with 4- and 5-nano EUV processes and timely development of next-generation technologies such as 3-nano process using GAA (gate-all-around) technology. We are expanding the business by diversifying our product portfolio, which includes CISs, DDIs, and PMICs. In the Display division, the mobile panel business’s differentiated technology is a main factor behind the increased adoption of OLED panels, while its release of products in new applications—such as foldable devices, laptops, and automotives—has expanded the overall market. Meanwhile, the large panel business is focusing on premium products such as high-definition, ultra-large, QD TVs and is enhancing its competitiveness through continuous improvements in technology and productivity.

ISBN 92-9131-880-9 (print) ISBN 92-9197-880-9 (online) Preface In November 2010, the Committee on the Global Financial System (CGFS) established a Working Group to examine how insurance companies and pension funds are being affected by forthcoming accounting and regulatory changes in the current low-interest rate environment, and to investigate possible implications of changes in their investment strategies for the financial system. Over the coming years, accounting and regulatory changes could lead to reallocations of funding across financial instruments and sectors and encourage greater use of derivatives. The changes could also make it more difficult for insurance companies and pension funds to play their traditional role as global providers of long-term risk capital and accelerate the shifting of risks to households. The Working Group was chaired by Peter Praet of the National Bank of Belgium, now a Member of the European Central Bank’s Executive Board.

    Past, Present and Future Harman International 2004 Annual Report

    Harman International 2004 Annual Report Past, Present and Future Our cover is a rendering of the new Shanghai, China Oriental Arts Center. Now under construction for the 2008 Olympics, it will incorporate two concert halls, an opera house and an eleven hundred seat theater. The Oriental Arts Center is one of many totally new theatres, athletic stadia and performing art centers being built to serve the most expansive Olympics in history. Harman International has received a number of significant awards and we expect to be very well represented. China is a compelling and sometimes tantalizing story for everyone. Our past, our present and our future are writ large there. Ten years ago Harman found a voracious market for our quality home audio equipment. That was the past. Numbers of very competent Chinese manufactures have developed in the years since, and have produced excellent products with increasingly recognized Chinese brand names. That is not a promising busi- ness situation for us, although our upcoming new media centers may generate revived interest—at least for a time. Our present is represented on the cover of this report. As China surges economically, its need for supportive infrastructure grows exponentially. Our professional systems are without peer, and we expect that part of our business to grow and flourish everywhere, but especially in China. It is clearly our present. The great opportunity before us, not surprisingly, is in automotive. Predictably, China is developing as a major market for automobiles and, consequently, for our Infotainment systems. We are the leader in Europe today and we are confident that we will be the leader in North America.
