Dear customers and shareholders, 2017 was a meaningful year to ING Life Insurance Korea (ING Life) as we proved our competitiveness and capability at home and abroad. In May, we successfully listed our shares on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) market, thanks to all of your support and encouragement. We made all-out efforts to meet high market expectations for our corporate value, and thus achieved a business performance exceeding our goal and beating market expectations. Profit after tax reached KRW 340.2 billion, higher than ever before; value of new business (VNB) amounted to KRW 134.5 billion, a 33.1% increase compared with the figure in 2016. Premium income totaled KRW 4,113.3 billion comprising KRW 3,157.5 billion and KRW 955.7 billion in general and special accounts, respectively. The strong and stable business performance led to a steady hike in share price. These achievements attest to our solid financial strength, impervious to any changes, for they were made in the midst of challenging business conditions, such as escalating volatility in the global financial market, multiplying economic uncertainties, and fast-evolving changes towards an era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In addition, the scheduled enforcement of the IFRS 17 and Korea Insurance Capital Standard (K-ICS) – a new international accounting standard for insurers and a new Korean solvency regime, respectively – is proving to be an opportunity for us, whilst it is a challenge for competitors. For over the past 30 years, we have conducted asset-liability management (ALM) to global standards, and thus ensured our sustained capital strength and financial soundness. Another firm foundation for our sustainable growth is the business steering strategy in maintaining a balance between growth and profitability, as well as between efficiency and risk. 006 ING Life Insurance Korea Annual Report 2017 CEO’s Statement 007 Furthermore, in pursuit of stronger and stable growth, we focused on further strengthening our Third, we will stay ahead in a rapidly changing environment.
