As Shinhan Financial such, Korean financial institutions are witnessing a significant deterioration of asset quality owing Group has made to a rise in delinquencies and insufficient foreign currency liquidity as a consequence of a surge in the won-dollar exchange rate. In such uncertain times, the key competency is risk management. meaningful achievements in tune I am pleased to share with you the news that even in such a difficult business environment, with its reputation as Shinhan Financial Group has made meaningful achievements in tune with its reputation as the leading financial group of Korea. the leading financial group of Korea. Last year, Shinhan Financial Group took another step towards becoming a world-leading financial group by establishing a future growth foundation and strengthening its business lines. Shinhan Financial Group 004 ” 005 Annual Report 2008 Based on the long-term strategic relationship and cooperation with the BNP Paribas Group, we have successfully carried out the integration of our two asset management companies, thereby establishing a firm presence and leadership in the asset management industry in Korea. In addition, thanks to the sound performance made in the non-banking sectors, such as credit card, securities, and insurance, Shinhan Financial Group was able to establish the most balanced domestic business portfolio. In recognition of our progress made at home and abroad, Shinhan Financial Group became the first Korean financial group to be chosen by Fortune Magazine as one of the top 500 global companies. SFG further strengthened its reputation as Korea’s leading financial institution by posting a net income of more than KRW 2 trillion for two consecutive years, based on its efforts to strengthen internal competencies and generate new synergistic effects. Committed to continuing innovation and achievement, Shinhan Financial Group will not become complacent with its recent achievements. It is expected that the the Korean economy will continue to suffer from sluggish exports as well as volatile foreign exchange and stock markets. Though the forcasts of market participants may differ in actual figures, most agree that a considerable amount of time needs to pass before a meaningful turnaround can be expected due to these factors, in addition to sluggish domestic consumption. Shinhan Financial Group has established a separate strategy to weather the current storm and overcome the crisis, faithfully executing this strategy since the end of 2008. The group also established a system that enables active response to sharp changes in the market. All business lines of the group are strengthening their basic competencies and building distinctive development models, thereby developing pipelines for new growth. I believe these efforts by Shinhan Financial Group will allow the group to overcome the current crisis and be prepared to seize opportunities for new growth following the crisis. Through committed performance of its responsibilities as the best financial group in Korea, we seek to contribute to the sustainable development of the national economy and financial industry by employing new methods suitable for the new era. We will continue utilizing our strength and efforts to become a more reliable and true financial partner by taking steps forward towards the future with the mindset of “Back to Basics.” I believe that these strenuous efforts will lead to the realization of our vision of becoming a world-class financial group. I ask you for your continued support and encouragement and wish you all and your family, good health and happiness.

  • Analysing the Changing Trajectory of South Korea's ICT Business
    Analysing the Changing Trajectory of South Korea’s ICT Business Environment Nigel Callinan Thesis presented for the award of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Professor Bernadette Andreosso & Dr. Mikael Fernström University of Limerick Submitted to the University of Limerick November 2014 Declaration I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment on the programme of study leading to the award of Doctor of Philosophy is entirely my own work, that I have exercised reasonable care to ensure that the work is original, and does not to the best of my knowledge breach any law of copyright, and has not been taken from the work of others save and to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my work. Signed: ___________________________________ I.D No: 10142886 Date: Monday 10th November 2014 2 Abstract This thesis aims to provide a new perspective on the development of South Korea’s Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) Business Environment by taking a cross-disciplinary look at the area. Most studies on this subject have tended to remain within the boundaries of a single discipline. In this study, an interdisciplinary approach is taken to trace more of the paths that have influenced the development. This will provide a better understanding of the area and this insight should make it easier for any prospective organisation hoping to enter the Korean market to be successful. In little over two generations, South Korea has transformed from being one of the poorest countries in the world into a global business leader. Currently, Information Technology products are at the forefront of exports from the country and the world’s largest electronics company hails from a city just south of Seoul.

  • Digital-Banks-Lessons-From-Korea
    Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized WORLD BANK GROUP KOREA OFFICE INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY NOTE SERIES DIGITAL BANKS: LESSONS FROM KOREA YOUJIN CHOI, FINANCIAL SECTOR SPECIALIST SEOUL CENTER FOR FINANCE AND INNOVATION FINANCE, COMPETITIVENESS AND INNOVATION GLOBAL PRACTICE, WORLD BANK Public Disclosure Authorized Digital banks have been on the rise as digital technologies transform financial services around the world. Under the Korean government’s new policy framework for digital banks, K Bank and Kakao Bank successfully launched in 2017 with convenient and innovative products and services, and brought a substantial impact on Korea’s banking sector. With their businesses growing at a fast pace, these banks sought to increase their capital accordingly, but encountered unforeseen regulatory issues on bank ownership which required new legislation and regulatory efforts to get resolved. After the first three years of operation, as of July 2020, the two banks show contrasting track records, mainly explained by differing challenges and successes in capital increase and marketing. With digital transformation accelerating and competition heightening, digital banks will need to become even more strategic and innovative to continue to be successful. This knowledge note was written to take stock of Korea’s Public Disclosure Authorized experience with digital banks and share lessons that may be useful for financial policymakers and market players in banking and fintech. Acknowledgements: The author would like to thank Ryo Sun Jang for her useful inputs for the research, and Suk Geun Lee for his background note "Korea's Internet-Only Banks" (November 2019), prepared for the Seoul Center for Financial Sector Development in the Finance, Competitiveness and Innovation (FCI) Global Practice of the World Bank.
