Despite such difficult circumstances, we were able to deliver solid performances and achievements, further strengthening our reputation as the nation’s leading financial group. By taking decisive and often difficult measures, and thanks to our well diversified business structure, we were able to uphold profitability, improve asset quality and secure a strong foundation for future growth. In particular, Shinhan Bank was able to relatively perform well when the entire industry was suffering from compressed spreads, increasing delinquencies and asset deterioration. At the same time, most of the Group’s non-banking subsidiaries outperformed their industry averages, with Shinhan Card and Shinhan Life Insurance deserving particular praise for their highly impressive results. All in all, the Group realized a net income of KRW1.3 trillion, and as a result, led the industry for the second year in a row, and cementing its position as ‘Korea’s leading financial group.’ However, as we see signs of a gradual recovery in the world’s economy, I believe that potential risks still exist. High debt levels of several European countries and emerging markets needs to be closely monitored. In addition, governments have begun to put exit strategies on the table for discussion, and while these are necessary, they must be very carefully orchestrated to promote growth and balance together. 004 / 005 SHINHAN FINANCIAL GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2009 I am confident that we will further underscore our leading position, a position that significantly contributes to the development of Korea’s economy, while at the same time leap forward to become a leading global fi nancial group. Chairman Eung Chan Ra In the domestic landscape, Korea’s financial industry is expected to experience further change in response to the recent trend of industry convergence. It also looks highly probable that further consolidation of the financial industry will occur in the near future. With its diversified business portfolio, proven track record and clear management in place, Shinhan Financial Group is considered to be in a better position than its competitors. However, we will not take this for granted, but instead reassess our strengths and weaknesses, reshape our ability to respond to change ahead of time, and fortify our platform for sustainable growth. Through these efforts, I am confident that we will further underscore our leading position, a position that significantly contributes to the development of Korea’s economy, while at the same time leap forward to become a leading global financial group. None of our accomplishments would have been possible without our faithful and willing employees, all of whom have worked with passion and energy, even during the most difficult of times. I am confident that their strength, sense of responsibility and level of dedication will accelerate our goal of becoming a ‘world class financial institution.’ Once again, I ask for your continued support and encouragement as we move forward towards a brighter future. Chairman Eung Chan Ra OUTSTANDING TO OUTPERFORM CEO’S MESSAGE Dear shareholders and customers, 2009 started out at the center of the global financial crisis. Some described it as a perfect storm. The scope, severity and duration of this crisis were more serious than most of us have ever experienced before. The financial industry had been shaken to its foundation. Economies fell, unemployment rate rose and we still face daunting and ongoing challenges. However, we are beginning to see signs of recovery. The global economy had slowly begun to turn around by the end of last year.

    Shinhan Financial Group (055550 KS ) Steadily marching forward Banks 4Q19 review: Net profit attributable to controlling interests of W507.5bn Results Comment For 4Q19, Shinhan Financial Group (SFG) announced net profit attributable to February 6, 2020 controlling interests of W507.5bn (-1.1% YoY, -48.3% QoQ), missing our estimate (W573.5bn) and the consensus (W582.8bn based on FnGuide) by 11-13%. Core income was better than our expectation, but other non-interest losses and non-operating expenses were larger. Major one-off items in the quarter included: 1) W150bn in non- operating expenses caused by changes in the amortization schedule of intangible (Maintain) Buy assets related to city government funds; 2) W120bn in expenses due to the execution of a massive early retirement program (implemented once every two years ); 3) W14bn Target Price (12M, W) 54,000 in reversals of provisions; and 4) W57bn in total return swap impairments (non- interest) at Shinhan Investment related to the redemption suspension of Lime Asset Share Price (02/05/20, W) 39,250 Management’s funds. Minus these one-off i tems, we estimate underlying net profit was around W700bn. Expected Return 38% For the full year, the non-bank contribution to net profit increased to 34% (from 31% in 2018), as bank net profit rose 2% YoY, while non-bank net profit grew 15% YoY .

    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.
