I am pleased to announce that we were able to attain our goals for 2002 while successfully realizing our vision for building a powerful one-portal financial services network. We believe that these accomplishments should be credited to your valued trust and support for Shinhan Financial Group. A Year of Accomplishments The year 2002 heralded the appearance of powerful new paradigms and changes in Korea. We witnessed, among many other events, increased social participation by our youth via the Internet during the presidential election and the public’s unified support for the national team’s advance into the Big 4 in the World Cup. Fueled by these developments, Korean society continues to reform, liberalize, and evolve into a society centered on public participation and egalitarian values. It was, however, a challenging year for the financial services industry. Overall, financial institutions suffered difficulties in 2002 primarily due to the reverberating effects of continued recession concerns in the global market, compounded by adverse domestic 04 conditions. The combined effects of a prolonged economic slowdown behind low interest rates, rising delinquency ratios for household loans, and downturns in the stock markets all negatively impacted the performance of financial institutions here in Korea. SHINHAN FINANCIAL GROUP Additionally, competition among domestic financial institutions intensified across all business segments, especially in SME and consumer loans, in line with the trend towards enlargement and crossovers. Amid such a challenging business environment, Shinhan Financial Group persevered and produced solid results in 2002. In particular, Shinhan Bank, flagship of the Shinhan fleet, posted strong results with its net earnings exceeding target goals. We particularly devoted ourselves to solidifying foundations, restructuring our business portfolio as a comprehensive financial group with ten subsidiaries. Aggressive Realignment Embarking on our second year as a financial group, we have devoted ourselves to solidifying foundations and restructuring our business portfolio into a fully integrated, all-inclusive system, linking ten subsidiaries into one powerful network. We are dedicated to delivering all of the products and services that you need through a single relationship. To this end, our endeavors in 2002 included the creation of Goodmorning Shinhan Securities through a successful merger between Good Morning Securities and Shinhan Securities; the spin-off of our credit card and credit information divisions; and the establishment of an investment trust joint venture with BNP Paribas as well as the establishment of SH&C Life Insurance, the first bancassurance company in Korea. Through these initiatives, the Group focused on building scale, increasing specialization, and adding breadth to our overall platform. Alongside business realignment, we explored ways to expand our offering of innovative hybrid products and services that meet the diverse needs of our customers. In 2002, we introduced the Financial Plaza and the Corporate Banking Center, venues that enable and foster cross-selling opportunities between the banking and securities businesses. We also changed our corporate identity (CI) to reflect our new vision and strategies under the holding company system. As a result, SFG’s net income grew 77.6% year-on-year to exceed 600 billion at the end of 2002, mainly driven by increases in net income of Shinhan Bank, Jeju Bank and Shinhan Capital. Pre-provisioning income amounted to 1.2 trillion. Total assets also grew 23.3% over the year to 80.8 trillion, led by the growth of our banking, securities and investment & trust businesses. Meeting Future Challenges Today, we are faced with unprecedented, rapid changes and severe competition. The timing for recovery of the world economy remains in doubt due in part to uncertainties related to the war in the Middle East, North Korea nuclear issues, and recent corporate governance issues in Korea. Nonetheless, the government is likely to push ahead with its privatization plan for the retrieval of public funds and domestic financial institutions, as a consequence, will need to continue their restructuring efforts.
