PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
The financial statements included in this annual report are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or the IASB.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, all financial data included in this annual report are presented on a consolidated basis.
We were established on January 11, 2019 pursuant to a “comprehensive stock transfer” under Korean law, whereby holders of the common stock of Woori Bank and certain of its subsidiaries transferred all of their shares to us, a new financial holding company, and in return received shares of our common stock. As a result of the stock transfer, Woori Bank and certain of its former wholly-owned subsidiaries, Woori FIS Co., Ltd., Woori Finance Research Institute Co., Ltd., Woori Credit Information Co., Ltd., Woori Fund Services Co., Ltd. and Woori Private Equity Asset Management Co., Ltd., became our direct and wholly-owned subsidiaries. Accordingly, our overall business and operations after the stock transfer, on a consolidated basis, are identical to those of Woori Bank on a consolidated basis immediately prior to the stock transfer. See “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company—Establishment of Woori Financial Group.”
The stock transfer constituted a succession for purposes of Rule12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such that our common stock was deemed registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act by operation of Rule12g-3(a). Following the stock transfer, we file reports under the Exchange Act as the successor issuer to Woori Bank.
In our consolidated financial statements for financial reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, the stock transfer is accounted for as a transaction among entities under common control applying the pooling of interests method of accounting.accounting (book value accounting). We initially recognized the transferred assets and liabilities at their book value as of the date of the stock transfer in such consolidated financial statements, and no goodwill was recognized in connection with the transaction.
The consolidated financial statements included in this annual report as of dates and for periods prior to the date of our establishment in January 2019 pursuant to the stock transfer were prepared based on the consolidated financial statements for Woori Bank and its subsidiaries, except that Woori FIS Co., Ltd., Woori Finance Research Institute Co., Ltd., Woori Credit Information Co., Ltd., Woori Fund Services Co., Ltd. and Woori Private Equity Asset Management Co., Ltd. were consolidated on aline-by-line basis instead of being presented as assets and liabilities held for distribution.sale. Unless expressly stated otherwise, historical financial data included in this annual report as of dates and for periods prior to our establishment are for Woori Bank and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, with the foregoing modification. For further information regarding the accounting treatment of the stock transfer, see Note 421 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
Unless otherwise indicated or required by the context, “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms used in this annual report refer to Woori Financial Group and its subsidiaries (including Woori Bank) and, for periods prior to our establishment, refer to Woori Bank and its subsidiaries.
In this annual report:
references to “Korea” are to the Republic of Korea;
references to the “government” are to the government of the Republic of Korea;
references to “Won” or “￦” are to the currency of Korea;
references to “U.S. dollars,” “$” or “US$” are to the currency of the United States; and
references to “Euros” or “EUR” are to the currency of the European Economic and Monetary Union.
Discrepancies between totals and the sums of the amounts contained in any table may be a result of rounding.
For your convenience, this annual report contains conversions of Won amounts into U.S. dollars at the noon buying rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for Won in effect on December 31, 2019,2020, which was ￦1,155.5￦1,086.1 = US$1.00.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This annual report contains forward-looking statements.
Words and phrases such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “positioned,” “predict,” “project,” “risk,” “seek to,” “shall,” “should,” “will likely result,” “will pursue” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance or our expectations, plans, projections or business prospects identify forward-looking statements. In particular, the statements under the headings “Item 3.D. Risk Factors,” “Item 4.B. Business Overview” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” regarding our financial condition and other future events or prospects are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are management’s present expectations of future events and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
In addition to the risks related to our business discussed under “Item 3.D. Risk Factors,” other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to:
a change or delay in, or cancellation of, the Korean government’s privatization plan with respect to us;
our ability to successfully implement our strategy;
future levels ofnon-performing loans;
our growth and expansion;
the adequacy of allowances for credit and other losses;
technological changes;
interest rates;
investment income;
availability of funding and liquidity;
our exposure to market risks; and
adverse market and regulatory conditions.
By their nature, certain disclosures relating to these and other risks are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains, losses or impact on our income or results of operations could materially differ from those that have been estimated. For example, revenues could decrease, costs could increase, capital costs could increase, capital investment could be delayed and anticipated improvements in performance might not be fully realized.
In addition, other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the forward-looking statements contained in this annual report could include, but are not limited to:
general economic and political conditions in Korea or other countries that have an impact on our business activities or investments;
the monetary and interest rate policies of Korea;
inflation or deflation;
unanticipated volatility in interest rates;
foreign exchange rates;
prices and yields of equity and debt securities;
the performance of the financial markets in Korea and globally;
changes in domestic and foreign laws, regulations and taxes;
changes in competition and the pricing environment in Korea; and
regional or general changes in asset valuations.
For further discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ, see the discussion under “Item 3.D. Risk Factors” contained in this annual report. We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this annual report. Except as required by law, we are not under any obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this annual report.

Risks relating to our corporate credit portfolio
The largest portion of our exposure is to small- andmedium-sized enterprises, and financial difficulties experienced by companies in this segment may result in a deterioration of our asset quality and have an adverse impact on us.
Our loans to small- andmedium-sized enterprises amounted to ￦74,906￦79,371 billion, or 29.6%30.3% of our total loans, as of December 31, 2017, ￦79,371 billion, or 30.3 % of our total loans, as of December 31, 2018, and ￦85,367￦85,367 billion, or 31.4% of our total loans, as of December 31, 2019. 2019 and￦97,476 billion, or 32.1% as of December 31, 2020.As of December 31, 2019,2020, Won-denominated loans to small- andmedium-sized enterprises that were classified as substandard or below were ￦409￦470 billion, representing 0.5% of such loans to those enterprises.Seeenterprises. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Corporate Banking—Small andMedium-Sized Enterprise Banking.” We recorded charge-offs of ￦185￦219 billion in respect of ourWon-denominated loans to small- andmedium-sized enterprises in 2019,2020, compared to charge-offs of ￦199￦185 billion in 20182019 and ￦325￦199 billion in 2017.2018. According to data compiled by the Financial Supervisory Service, the industry-wide delinquency ratios forWon-denominated loans to small- andmedium-sized enterprises increased in 2018 but decreased in 2019.2019 and 2020. The delinquency ratio for small- andmedium-sized enterprises is calculated as the ratio of (1) the outstanding balance of such loans in respect of which either principal or interest payments are overdue by one month or more to (2) the aggregate outstanding balance of such loans. Our delinquency ratio for such loans denominated in Won was 0.5% as of December 31, 2017, 0.5% as of December 31, 2018, and 0.4% as of December 31, 2019.Our2019 and 0.3% as of December 31, 2020. Our delinquency ratio may increase in 20202021 as a result of, among other things, adverse changes in economic conditions in Korea and globally. See “—Other risks relating to our business—Unfavorable changes in the global financial markets could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.” Accordingly, we may be required to take measures to decrease our exposures to these customers.
In light of the deteriorating financial condition and liquidity position of small- andmedium-sized enterprises in Korea as a result of the global financial crisis commencing in the second half of 2008, the Korean government introduced measures intended to encourage Korean banks to provide financial support to small- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers. For example, the Korean government requested Korean banks, including Woori Bank, to establish a “fast track” program to provide liquidity assistance to small- andmedium-sized enterprises on an expedited basis. Under the “fast track” program established by Woori Bank, liquidity assistance is provided to small- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers applying for such assistance, in the form of new short-term loans or maturity extensions or interest rate adjustments with respect to existing loans, after expedited credit review and approval. The overall prospects for the Korean economy in 2020 and beyond remain uncertain, especially in light of theCOVID-19 pandemic affecting many countries worldwide, including Korea, and the Korean government may extend or renew existing or past policies and initiatives or introduce new policies or initiatives to encourage Korean banks to provide financial support to small- andmedium-sized enterprises. For example, the Financial Services Commission requested 14 Korean banks, including Woori Bank, to extend speciallow-rate loans to small merchants affected by theCOVID-19 pandemic beginning in April 2020. The aggregate amount of such loans extended by the Korean banks is expected to be ￦3.5 trillion, of which ￦261 billion was provided by Woori Bank as of April 23, 2020. In addition, Korean financial regulatory authorities, including the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service, adopted guidelines for
Korean banks to extend loan terms and defer interest payments with respect to small- and medium sized enterprises and small merchants affected by theCOVID-19 pandemic starting from April 2020. We believe that, to date, our participation in suchgovernment-led initiatives has not caused us to extend a material amount of credit that we would not have otherwise extended nor materially impacted our results of operations and financial condition in general. The aggregate amount of outstanding small- andmedium-sized enterprise loans made by us under the “fast track” program was ￦103.4￦99.7 billion as of December 31, 2019,2020, which represented 0.13%0.1% of our total small- andmedium-sized enterprise loan portfolio as of such date. Furthermore, loans made by us under the “fast track” program are partially guaranteed by the Korean government’s public financial institutions, including the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund and the Korea Technology Finance Corporation. The overall prospects for the Korean economy in 2021 and beyond remain uncertain, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic affecting many countries worldwide, including Korea, and the Korean government may extend or renew existing or past policies and initiatives or introduce new policies or initiatives to encourage Korean banks to provide financial support to small- and medium-sized enterprises. See “—Other risks relating to our business—The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.” For example, the Financial Services Commission requested 14 Korean banks, including Woori Bank, to extend special low-rate loans to small merchants affected by the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in
April 2020. The aggregate amount of such loans extended by the Korean banks is expected to be￦13.5 trillion, of which￦950 billion was provided by Woori Bank as of December 31, 2020. In addition, Korean financial regulatory authorities, including the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service, adopted guidelines for Korean banks to extend loan terms and defer interest payments with respect to small- and medium sized enterprises and small merchants affected by the COVID-19 pandemic starting from April 2020. We believe that, to date, our participation in such government-led initiatives has not caused us to extend a material amount of credit that we would not have otherwise extended nor materially impacted our results of operations and financial condition in general. However, there can be no assurance that our future participation in suchgovernment-led initiatives would not lead us to extend credit to small- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers that we would not otherwise extend, or offer terms for such credit that we would not otherwise offer, in the absence of such initiatives. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the financial condition and liquidity position of our small- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers benefiting from such initiatives will improve sufficiently for them to service their debt on a timely basis, or at all. Accordingly, increases in our exposure to small- andmedium-sized enterprises resulting from suchgovernment-led initiatives may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Many small- andmedium-sized enterprises represent sole proprietorships or very small businesses dependent on a relatively limited number of suppliers or customers and tend to be affected by fluctuations in the Korean and global economy to a greater extent than large corporate borrowers. In addition, small- andmedium-sized enterprises often maintain less sophisticated financial records than large corporate borrowers. Therefore, it is generally more difficult for us to judge the level of risk inherent in lending to these enterprises, as compared to large corporations. However, in light of theCOVID-19 pandemic, starting from June 2020, the Bank of Korea announced the early implementation ofimplemented Basel III standards relating to lowering the risk weight of loans extended to small- andmedium-sized enterprises with no credit rating from 100% to 85% starting from April 2020 in an effort to boost such lending.
In addition, many small- andmedium-sized enterprises have close business relationships with large corporations in Korea, primarily as suppliers. Any difficulties encountered by those largecorporationslargecorporations would likely hurt the liquidity and financial condition of related small- andmedium-sized enterprises, including those to which we have exposure, also resulting in an impairment of their ability to repay loans.
Financial difficulties experienced by small- andmedium-sized enterprises as a result of, among other things, adverse changes in domestic and global economic conditions, could have an adverse impact on the ability of small- andmedium-sized enterprises to make payments on their loans. For example, the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic has had a significant adverse impact on the Korean and global economy, including disruptions in the supply chains, declines in the sales and deterioration in the financial conditions of small- andmedium-sized enterprises. See “—Other risks relating to our business—The recent global outbreak of COVID-19 may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.” In addition, aggressive marketing and competition among banks to lend to this segment may lead to a deterioration in the asset quality of our loans to this segment in the future. Any such deterioration would result in increased charge-offs, higher provisioning and reduced interest and fee income from this segment, which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
We have exposure to Korean construction, shipbuilding and shipping companies in certain troubled industries, and financial difficulties of these companies may adversely impact us.
As of December 31, 2019,2020, the total amount of loans provided by us to construction, shipbuilding and shipping companies in Korea amounted to ￦4,051￦4,573 billion, ￦420￦432 billion and ￦413￦426 billion, or 1.5%, 0.2%0.1% and 0.2%0.1% of our total loans, respectively.Werespectively.We also have other exposures to Korean construction, shipbuilding and shipping companies, including in the form of guarantees extended for the benefit of such companies and debt and equity securities of such companies held by us.Inus. In the case of construction companies, we have potential exposure in the form of guarantees provided to us by general contractors with respect to financing extended by us for residential and commercial real estate development projects, as well as commitments to purchase asset-
backedasset-backed securities secured by the assets of companies in the construction industry and other commitments we enter into relating to project financing for such real estate projects which may effectively function as guarantees. In the case of shipbuilding companies, such exposures include refund guarantees extended by us on behalf of
shipbuilding companies to cover their obligation to return a portion of the ship order contract amount to customers in the event of performance delays or defaults under shipbuilding contracts.
Although the construction industry in Korea has shown signs of recovery since 2015, excessive investment in residential property development projects, the recent strengthening of mortgage and other lending regulations by the Korean government, stagnation of real property prices and reduced demand for residential property in areas outside of the Seoul metropolitan area, are expected to continue to negatively impact the construction industry. The shipbuilding industry in Korea has experienced a severe downturn in recent years reflecting a significant decrease in ship orders, primarily due to adverse conditions in the global economy and the resulting slowdown in global trade. In the case of shipping companies in Korea, reduced shipping rates and high chartering costs, together with the slowdown in global trade, have contributed to the deterioration of their financial condition, requiring some of them to file for bankruptcy or pursue voluntary restructuring of their debt.
In response to the deteriorating financial condition and liquidity position of borrowers in the Korean construction, shipbuilding and shipping industries, which were disproportionately impacted by adverse domestic and global economic developments, the Korean government implemented a program in 2009 to promote expedited restructuring of such borrowers by their Korean creditor financial institutions, under the supervision of major commercial banks. In accordance with such program, 24 construction companies and five shipbuilding companies became subject to workout in 2009, following review by their creditor financial institutions (including us) and the Korean government. Each year since 2009, the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service have announced the results of subsequent credit risk evaluations conducted by creditor financial institutions (including us) of certain companies in Korea, pursuant to which a number of companies were selected by such financial institutions for restructuring in the form of workout, liquidation or court receivership. However, there is no assurance that these measures will be successful in stabilizing the Korean construction, shipbuilding and shipping industries.
In addition, we have significant exposures to companies in the hotel, leisure and transportation industries, which have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of December 31, 2020, the total amount of loans provided by us to companies in the hotel, leisure and transportation industries amounted to an aggregate￦9,150 billion, or 3.0% of our total loans. While the business activities, results of operations and financial condition of companies in such industries may recover as the impact of the pandemic decreases, the timeline for such recovery remains uncertain, and we may be required to record substantial additional allowances relating to such companies.
The allowance for credit losses that we have established against our credit exposures to companies in the Korean construction, shipbuilding and shipping companiesindustries as well as the hotel, leisure and transportation industries may not be sufficient to cover all future losses arising from these and other exposures. If the credit quality of our exposures to such companies declines further, we may incur substantial additional provisions for credit loss, which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, although a portion of our loans to companies in the construction, shipbuilding and shipping companiesindustries as well as the hotel, leisure and transportation industries are secured by collateral, such collateral may not be sufficient to cover uncollectible amounts in respect of such loans.
A large portion of our exposure is concentrated in a relatively small number of large corporate borrowers, which increases the risk of our corporate credit portfolio.
As of December 31, 2019,2020, our 20 largest exposures to corporate borrowers (including loans, debt and equity securities, credit-related commitments and other exposures) totaled ￦52,634￦55,650 billion, which represented 12.0%11.5% of our total exposures. As of that date, our single largest corporate exposure was to the Korea Development Bank, to which we had outstanding credits in the form of debt securities of ￦11,917￦10,559 billion and loans in Won of ￦6￦33 billion, representing 2.7%2.2% of our total exposures in the aggregate. Aside from exposure to the Korean government and government-related agencies, our next largest exposure was to KBNH Investment & Securities Co., Ltd., to which we had outstanding exposure of ￦1,140￦2,329 billion representing 0.3%0.5% of our total exposures.Any deterioration in the financial condition of our large corporate borrowers, including those in industries particularly
affected by theCOVID-19 pandemic to which we have significant exposures such as the hotel, leisure and transportation industries, the retail and wholesale industries and the manufacturing industry, may require us to record substantial additional allowances and may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
We have exposure to the largest Korean commercial conglomerates, known as “chaebols,” and, as a result, financial difficulties of chaebols may have an adverse impact on us.
Of our 20 largest corporate exposures as of December 31, 2019, five2020, three were to companies that were members of the 2827 largestchaebolsin Korea.AsKorea. As of that date, the total amount of our exposures to the 2827 largestchaebols was ￦19,454￦20,347 billion, or 4.4%4.2% of our total exposures.Ifexposures.If the credit quality of our exposures tochaebols declines as a result of financial difficulties they experience or for other reasons, we could incur additional provisions for credit loss, which would hurt our results of operations and financial condition. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Assets and Liabilities—Loan Portfolio—Exposure to Chaebols.”
The allowances we have established against these exposures may not be sufficient to cover all future losses arising from these exposures. In addition, in the case of companies that are in or in the future enter into workout, restructuring, reorganization or liquidation proceedings, our recoveries from those companies may be limited. We may, therefore, experience future losses with respect to these exposures.
We have exposure to companies that are currently or may in the future be put in restructuring and may suffer losses as a result of additional provisions for credit loss required or the adoption of restructuring plans with which we do not agree.
As of December 31, 2019,2020, our credit exposures to companies that were in workout or corporate restructuring amounted to ￦274￦181 billion or 0.1%0.04% of our total credit exposures, of which ￦227￦166 billion or 82.8%91.7% was classified as substandard or below and substantially all of which was classified as impaired.Asimpaired. As of the same date, our allowance for credit losses on these credit exposures amounted to ￦124￦65 billion, or 45.3%35.9% of these exposures.Theseexposures. These allowances may not be sufficient to cover all future losses arising from our credit exposure to these companies. Furthermore, we have other exposure to such companies in the form of debt and equity securities of such companies held by us (including equity securities we acquired as a result ofdebt-to-equity conversions). Including such securities, our exposures as of December 31, 20192020 to companies in workout or restructuring amounted to ￦275￦181 billion, or 0.1%0.04% of our total exposures.Ourexposures.Our exposures to such companies may also increase in the future, including as a result of adverse conditions in the Korean economy. In addition, in the case of borrowers that are or become subject to workout, we may be forced to restructure our credits pursuant to restructuring plans approved by other creditor financial institutions of the borrower, or to dispose of our credits to other creditors on unfavorable terms, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Risks relating to our consumer credit portfolio
We may experience increases in delinquencies in our consumer loan and credit card portfolios.
In recent years, consumer debt has increased rapidly in Korea. Our portfolio of consumer loans amounted to ￦109,290￦117,096 billion as of December 31, 2017, ￦117,0962018,￦124,003 billion as of December 31, 20182019 and ￦124,003￦138,119 billion as of December 31, 2019.Our2020. Our credit card portfolio amounted to ￦6,827 billion as of December 31, 2017, ￦8,051￦8,051 billion as of December 31, 2018, and ￦8,399￦8,399 billion as of December 31, 2019.As2019 and￦8,543 billion as of December 31, 2019,2020.As of December 31, 2020, our consumer loans and credit card receivables represented 45.6%45.4% and 3.1%2.8%of our total lending, respectively.Seerespectively. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Consumer Banking—Lending Activities” and “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Credit Cards—Products and Services.”
The growth in our consumer loan portfolio in recent years, together with adverse changes in economic conditions in Korea and globally, may lead to increasing delinquencies and a deterioration in asset quality. The amount of our consumer loans classified as substandard or below was ￦276￦309 billion (or 0.3% of our consumer loan portfolio) as of December 31, 2017, ￦3092018,￦314 billion (or 0.3% of our consumer loan portfolio) as of
December 31, 20182019 and ￦314￦295 billion (or 0.3%0.2% of our consumer loan portfolio) as of December 31, 2019.We2020.We charged off consumer loans amounting to ￦217￦182 billion in 2020, as compared to￦217 billion in 2019 as compared to ￦204and￦204 billion in 2018, and ￦147 billion in 2017, and recorded provisions for credit loss in respect of consumer loans of ￦163￦131 billion in 2020, as compared to￦163 billion in 2019 as compared to ￦192and￦192 billion in 2018 and ￦152 billion in 2017.2018. Within our consumer loan portfolio, the outstanding balance of general purpose household loans, which, unlike mortgage or home equity loans, are often
unsecured and therefore tend to carry a higher credit risk, amounted to ￦31,108 billion, or 28.5% of our total outstanding consumer loans, as of December 31, 2017, ￦33,486￦33,486 billion, or 28.6% of our total outstanding consumer loans, as of December 31, 2018, and ￦35,981￦35,981 billion, or 29.0% of our total outstanding consumer loans, as of December 31, 2019.2019, and￦35,211 billion, or 25.5% of our total outstanding consumer loans, as of December 31, 2020.
In our credit card segment, outstanding balances overdue by more than one month amounted to ￦88￦110 billion, or 1.4% of our credit card receivables, as of December 31, 2018,￦110 billion, or 1.3% of our credit card receivables, as of December 31, 2017, ￦1102019 and￦88 billion, or 1.4%1.0% of our credit card receivables, as of December 31, 2018 and ￦110 billion, or 1.3% of our credit card receivables, as of December 31, 2019.In2020. In line with industry practice, we have restructured a portion of our delinquent credit card account balances as loans. As of December 31, 2019,2020, these restructured loans amounted to ￦165￦131 billion, or 2.0%1.5% of our credit card balances.Becausebalances. Because these restructured loans are not initially recorded as being delinquent, our delinquency ratios do not fully reflect all delinquent amounts relating to our credit card balances. Including all restructured loans, outstanding balances overdue by more than one month accounted for 3.2%2.5% of our credit card balances as of December 31, 2019.We2020.We charged off credit card balances amounting to ￦281￦246 billion in 2020, as compared to￦281 billion in 2019 as compared to ￦243and￦243 billion in 2018, and ￦228 billion in 2017, and recordedprovisionsrecordedprovisions for credit loss in respect of credit card balances of ￦236￦188 billion in 2020, as compared to￦236 billion in 2019 as compared to ￦213and￦213 billion in 2018 and ￦204 billion in 2017.Delinquencies2018. Delinquencies may further increase in the future as a result of, among other things, adverse economic conditions in Korea, additional government regulation or the inability of Korean consumers to manage increased household debt.
A deterioration of the asset quality of our consumer loan and credit card portfolios would require us to record increased provisions for credit loss and charge-offs and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our large exposure to consumer loans means that we are exposed to changes in economic conditions affecting Korean consumers. Accordingly, economic difficulties in Korea that hurt those consumers could result in further deterioration in the credit quality of our consumer loan and credit card portfolios. For example, the severe impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic on Korea’s economy may disrupt the business, activities and operations of our consumers, which in turn could result in a significant decrease in the number of financial transactions or the inability of our consumers to meet existing payment or other obligations to us. In addition, a rise in unemployment or an increase in interest rates in Korea could adversely affect the ability of consumers to make payments and increase the likelihood of potential defaults. See “Risks relating to Korea—Unfavorable financial and economic developments in Korea may have an adverse effect on us.”
In addition, we are exposed to changes in regulations and policies on consumer lending by the Korean government, which may adopt measures to restrict consumer lending or encourage financial institutions to provide financial support to certain types of retail borrowers. In 2014 and 2015, the Korean government implemented several measures to encourage consumer spending and revive the housing market in Korea, including loosening regulations on mortgage lending, which contributed to an increase in our portfolio of consumer loans. However, the Korean government introduced various measures from the second half of 2016 to 20192020 to tighten regulations on mortgage and other lending and housing subscription in response to the rapid growth in consumer debt and concerns over speculative investments in real estate in certain areas. A decrease in housing prices as a result of the implementation of such measures, together with the high level of consumer debt and rising interest rate levels, could result in declines in consumer spending and reduced economic growth, which may lead to increases in delinquency levels of our consumer loan and credit card portfolios.
In light of adverse conditions in the Korean economy affecting consumers, in March 2009, the Financial Services Commission requested Korean banks, including Woori Bank, to establish a“pre-workout program,” including a credit counseling and recovery service, for retail borrowers with outstanding short-term debt. Under thepre-workout program, which has been in operation since April 2009, maturity extensions and/or interest reductions are provided to retail borrowers with total loans of less than ￦1.5￦1.5 billion (consisting of no more than ￦500
￦500 million of unsecured loans and ￦1￦1 billion of secured loans) who are in arrears on their payments for more than 30 days but less than 90 days or for retail borrowers with an annual income of ￦40￦40 million or less who have been in arrears on their payments for 30 days or more on an aggregate basis for the 12 months prior to their application, among others. The aggregate amount of consumer credit (including credit card receivables) we provided which became subject to thepre-workout program in 20192020 was ￦43.7￦49.3 billion. While we believe that
ouroperation ouroperation of thepre-workout program has not had a material impact on the overall credit quality of our consumer loan and credit card portfolios to date, our participation in suchgovernment-led initiatives to provide financial support to retail borrowers may lead us to offer credit terms for such borrowers that we would not otherwise offer in the absence of such initiatives, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
A decline in the value of the collateral securing our consumer loans and our inability to realize full collateral value may adversely affect our consumer credit portfolio.
A substantial portion of our consumer loans is secured by real estate, the values of which have fluctuated significantly in recent years. Although it is our general policy to lend up to 70% of the appraised value of collateral (except in areas of high speculation designated by the government where we generally limit our lending to 40% of the appraised value of collateral)and to periodicallyre-appraise our collateral, a downturn in the real estate markets in Korea may result in a decline in the value of the collateral securing our mortgage and home equity loans. If collateral values decline in the future, they may not be sufficient to cover uncollectible amounts in respect of our secured loans. Any declines in the value of the real estate or other collateral securing our consumer loans, or our inability to obtain additional collateral in the event of such declines, could result in a deterioration in our asset quality and may require us to record additional allowances for credit losses.
In Korea, foreclosure on collateral generally requires a written petition to a court. An application, when made, may be subject to delays and administrative requirements that may decrease the value of such collateral. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to realize the full value on our collateral as a result of, among other factors, delays in foreclosure proceedings and defects in the perfection of our security interest in collateral. Our failure to recover the expected value of collateral could expose us to potential losses.
Risks relating to our financial holding company structure and strategy
We may not succeed in implementing our strategy to take advantage of, or fail to realize the anticipated benefits of, our financial holding company structure.
We were established as a new financial holding company in January 2019 pursuant to a “comprehensive stock transfer” under Korean law, following the completion of which Woori Bank, Woori FIS Co., Ltd., Woori Finance Research Institute Co., Ltd., Woori Credit Information Co., Ltd., Woori Fund Services Co., Ltd. and Woori Private Equity Asset Management Co., Ltd. became our wholly-owned subsidiaries. See “Item 4A. History and Development of the Company—Establishment of Woori Financial Group.”
One of our principal strategies is to take advantage of our financial holding company structure to become a comprehensive financial services provider capable of developing and cross-selling a diverse range of products and services to our large existing base of retail and corporate banking customers. An intended benefit of our financial holding company structure is that it enhances our ability to engage in mergers and acquisitions which we may decide to pursue as part of our strategy. Accordingly, we may consider acquiring or merging with other financial institutions, particularly in thenon-banking sector, to achieve more balanced growth and further diversify our revenue base. We may also continue to seek opportunities to expand our operations in markets outside Korea. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Strategy” and “—We may not be able to successfully execute our overseas expansion strategy.”
The integration of companies we may acquire or merge with in the future under our financial holding company structure could require a significant amount of time, financial resources and management attention. Moreover, that process could place a burden on our operations (including our risk management operations) or information technology systems, reduce employee morale, produce unintended inconsistencies in our standards,
controls, procedures or policies, and affect our relationships with customers and our ability to retain key personnel. The realization of the anticipated benefits of our financial holding company structure may be blocked, delayed or reduced as a result of many factors, some of which may be outside our control. These factors include:
competition from other financial institutions, as well as private equity firms and other potential acquirers, in Korea and elsewhere in terms of identifying and winning bids for attractive merger and acquisition targets in the financial industry, including the non-banking sector, which may make it challenging for us to successfully acquire, or which may require us to pay a high acquisition price for, such targets;
|
difficulties in integrating the diverse activities and operations of our subsidiaries or any companies we may acquire, including risk management operations and information technology systems, personnel, policies and procedures;
difficulties in reorganizing or reducing overlapping personnel, branches, networks and administrative functions;
restrictions under the Financial Holding Company Act and other regulations on transactions between a financial holding company and, or among, its subsidiaries;
failure to leverage our financial holding company structure to realize operational efficiencies and to cross-sell multiple products and services;
unforeseen contingent risks, including lack of required capital resources, increased tax liabilities or restrictions in our overseas operations, relating to our financial holding company structure;
unexpected business disruptions;
failure to attract, develop and retain personnel with necessary expertise;
loss of customers; and
labor unrest.
Accordingly, we may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits of our financial holding company structure, and our business, results of operations and financial condition may suffer as a result.
We depend on limited forms of funding to fund our operations at the holding company level.
We are a financial holding company with no significant assets other than the shares of our subsidiaries. Our primary sources of funding and liquidity are dividends from our subsidiaries, sales of interests in our subsidiaries and direct borrowings and issuances of equity or debt securities at the holding company level. In addition, as a financial holding company, we are required to meet certain minimum financial ratios under Korean law, including with respect to liquidity and capital adequacy. Our ability to meet our obligations to our direct creditors and employees and our other liquidity needs and regulatory requirements at the holding company level depends on timely and adequate distributions from our subsidiaries and our ability to sell our securities or obtain credit from our lenders.
The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us depends on their financial condition and operating results. In the future, our subsidiaries may enter into agreements, such as credit agreements with lenders or indentures relating to high-yield or subordinated debt instruments, that impose restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, and the terms of future obligations and the operation of Korean law could prevent our subsidiaries from making sufficient distributions to us to allow us to make payments on our outstanding obligations. See “—As a financial holding company, we largely depend on receiving dividends from our subsidiaries to pay dividends on our common stock.” Any delay in receipt of or shortfall in payments to us from our subsidiaries could result in our inability to meet our liquidity needs and regulatory requirements, including minimum liquidity and capital adequacy ratios, which may disrupt our operations at the holding company level.
In addition, our creditors will generally not be able to assert claims on the assets of our subsidiaries. Furthermore, our inability to sell our securities or obtain funds from our lenders on favorable terms, or at all,
could also result in our inability to meet our liquidity needs and regulatory requirements and may disrupt our operations at the holding company level.
As a financial holding company, we largely depend on receiving dividends from our subsidiaries to pay dividends on our common stock.
Since our principal assets at the holding company level are the shares of our subsidiaries, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock largely depends on dividend payments from those subsidiaries. Those dividend payments are subject to the Korean Commercial Code, the Bank Act and regulatory limitations, generally based on capital levels and retained earnings, imposed by the various regulatory agencies with authority over those entities. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends may be subject to regulatory restrictions to the extent that paying dividends would impair their respectivenon-consolidated profitability, financial condition or other cash flow needs. For example:
under the Korean Commercial Code, dividends may only be paid out of distributable income, an amount which is calculated by subtracting the aggregate amount of a company’spaid-in capital and certain mandatory legal reserves as well as certain unrealized profits from its net assets, in each case as of the end of the prior annualfiscal period;
under the Bank Act, a bank also must credit at least 10% of its net profit to a legal reserve each time it pays dividends on distributable income until that reserve equals the amount of its totalpaid-in capital; and
under the Bank Act and the requirements of the Financial Services Commission, if a bank fails to meet its required capital adequacy ratio or otherwise becomes subject to management improvement measures imposed by the Financial Services Commission, then the Financial Services Commission may restrict the declaration and payment of dividends by that bank.
Our subsidiaries may not continue to meet the applicable legal and regulatory requirements for the payment of dividends in the future. If they fail to do so, they may stop paying or reduce the amount of the dividends they pay to us, which would have an adverse effect on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.
The implementation of the Korean government’s privatization plan may have an adverse effect on us and your interests as a shareholder.
In June 2013, the Korean government, through the Public Funds Oversight Committee of the Financial Services Commission, announced an updated plan to privatize Woori Finance Holdings, Woori Bank’s former parent company, and its former subsidiaries. The privatization plan provided for the segregation of such entities into three groups and the disposal of the Korean government’s interest in these entities held through the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the KDIC, in a series of transactions, many of which have been completed. Such transactions included the following:
| • | Kwangju Bank and Kyongnam Bank. In May 2014, Woori Finance Holdings established KJB Financial Group and KNB Financial Group through aspin-off of its businesses related to the holding of the shares and thereby controlling the business operations of Kwangju Bank and Kyongnam Bank, respectively. As a result of suchspin-off, KJB Financial Group became the owner of the shares of Kwangju Bank previously held by Woori Finance Holdings and KNB Financial Group became the owner of the shares of Kyongnam Bank previously held by Woori Finance Holdings. Woori Finance Holdings no longer owned any shares of Kwangju Bank or Kyongnam Bank, and neither they nor their new holding companies were its subsidiaries, after the spin-off. Following suchspin-off, each of these banks was merged with its holding company, and in October 2014, the KDIC sold its 56.97% ownership interest in Kwangju Bank and Kyongnam Bank to JB Financial Group and BS Financial Group, respectively. |
| • | Woori Investment & Securities and Other Subsidiaries. In March 2014, Woori Finance Holdings sold its 52.0% ownership interest in Woori Financial to KB Financial Group. In May 2014, Woori Finance Holdings sold its 100.0% ownership interest in Woori Asset Management to Kiwoom Securities and |
sold its 100.0% ownership interest in Woori F&I to Daishin Securities. In June 2014, Woori Finance Holdings sold its 37.9% ownership interest in Woori Investment & Securities, its 51.6% ownership interest in Woori Aviva Life Insurance and its 100.0% ownership interest in Woori FG Savings Bank to NongHyup Financial Group in a collective sale. As a result of such sales, Woori Investment & |
Securities, Woori Asset Management, Woori Aviva Life Insurance, Woori FG Savings Bank, Woori F&I and Woori Financial were no longer subsidiaries of Woori Finance Holdings, and it no longer owned any shares in such former subsidiaries. |
| • | Woori Bank. In November 2014, Woori Finance Holdings merged with and into Woori Bank. As a result of the merger, the other former subsidiaries of Woori Finance Holdings, including Woori Card, Woori Private Equity, Woori FIS, Woori Investment Bank and Woori Finance Research Institute, became Woori Bank’s subsidiaries. In December 2014, the KDIC sold 40,143,022 shares of Woori Bank’s common stock (representing 5.9% of its outstanding common stock) in a private sale in Korea. In addition, in December 2016 and January 2017, the KDIC sold an aggregate of 200,685,395 shares of Woori Bank’s common stock (representing 29.7% of its outstanding common stock) in stakes ranging from 3.7% to 6.0% to seven financial companies through a bidding process. Pursuant to a commitment made by the KDIC in connection with such bidding process, five persons, each nominated by one of the winning bidders, were elected as new outside directors at an extraordinary general meeting of Woori Bank’s shareholders held in December 2016. In December 2018, five persons, each nominated by one of such winning bidders, were elected at an extraordinary general meeting of Woori Bank’s shareholders to serve as our outside directors upon our establishment. See “Item 6.A. Directors and Senior Management—Board of Directors—Outside Directors.” In 2017, pursuant to a series of transactions related to call options previously granted in connection with the KDIC’s sale of Woori Bank’s common stock in December 2014, the KDIC sold an aggregate of 19,852,364 shares of Woori Bank’s common stock (representing 2.94% of its outstanding common stock). As a result of such transactions, the KDIC’s ownership interest in Woori Bank was reduced to 18.43%. |
| • | Woori Financial Group. In connection with our establishment in January 2019 as a new financial holding company pursuant to a “comprehensive stock transfer” under Korean law, the KDIC received 124,604,797 shares of our outstanding common stock in exchange for the common stock of Woori Bank it owned. In June 2019, the Financial Services Commission approved the KDIC’s plan to sell all such common stock in multiple transactions by 2022. In April 2021, pursuant to this plan, the KDIC sold an aggregate of 14,445,354 shares of our common stock (representing 2.00% of our outstanding common stock) in a block trade. As a result of such transaction, the KDIC currently owns 15.25% of our outstanding common stock. |
See “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company—Privatization Plan.” In connection with our establishment in January 2019 as a new financial holding company pursuant to a “comprehensive stock transfer” under Korean law, the KDIC received our common stock in exchange for the common stock of Woori Bank it owned and currently owns 17.25% of our outstanding common stock. We expect that the KDIC will sell all of such common stock in multiple transactions by 2022 in accordance with its plan that was approved by the Financial Services Commission in June 2019.
The implementation of the Korean government’s privatization plan, including the expected sale of the KDIC’s remaining ownership interest in us to third parties, is likely to have a significant impact on us. For example, the KDIC’s sale of its ownership interest in us to a small number of third parties may affect our business, management, strategy, capital structure and assets and liabilities and lead to diversion of management attention, a loss of customers and labor unrest. There is also no guarantee that such sale will not result in unintended adverse tax consequences for us and our subsidiaries, as well as our shareholders. See “—Risks relating to our common stock and ADSs—Future sales by the KDIC of the shares of our common stock it owns may result in adverse Korean tax consequences for you.” Accordingly, the implementation of the privatization plan may have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock and American depositary shares, or ADSs, and your interests as a shareholder.
We may not be able to successfully execute our overseas expansion strategy.
As part of our business strategy, we have been seeking opportunities to expand our operations in markets outside Korea, including through the opening of additional overseas branches and offices as well as strategic acquisitions and investments, particularly in South and Southeast Asia. For example, weWoori Bank expanded our its
network of branches to India, where weit established branches in Chennai, Gurgaon and Mumbai from 2012 to 2016.2017. In October 2016, weWoori Bank acquired a 51% equity interest in Wealth Development Bank Corp., a thrift bank in the Philippines. In November 2016, weWoori Bank obtained a banking license to establish a local subsidiary in Vietnam, Woori Bank Vietnam, which commenced operations in January 2017 and currently operates 14 branches throughout the country. In June 2018, weWoori Bank acquired VisionFund (Cambodia) Ltd., a microfinance deposit-taking institution in Cambodia, which was renamed WB Finance Co., Ltd. In February 2020, with the approval of the Cambodian financial authorities, Woori Finance (Cambodia) Plc., a microfinance institution, merged with and into WB Finance Co., Ltd. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the expansion of our operations abroad may be difficult due to
the presence of established competitors in the relevant local markets. In addition, overseas expansion and the management of international operations may require significant financial expenditures as well as management attention, and will subject us to the challenges of operating in an unfamiliar business environment with different regulatory, legal and taxation systems and political, economic and social risks. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in executing our overseas expansion strategy. The failure of our overseas expansion strategy could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may not generate sufficient additional fees to achieve our revenue diversification strategy.
An important element of our overall strategy is increasing our fee income in order to diversify our revenue base, in anticipation of greater competition and declining lending margins. Historically, our primary source of revenues has been net interest income from our banking operations at Woori Bank. To date, except for fees collected in connection with credit card,cards, trust management, bancassurance, mutual funds and currency transfer feestransfers (including foreign exchange-related commissions), and fees collected in connection with the operation ofas well as our investment funds and investment banking activities, we have not generated substantial fee income. We intend to develop new sources of fee income as part of our business strategy, including through our current investment banking and asset management businesses and mergers and acquisitions of non-banking businesses which we may decide to pursue through our financial holding company structure. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Strategy.” Although we, like many other Korean financial institutions, have begun to charge fees to our customers more regularly, customers may prove unwilling to pay additional fees, even in exchange for more attractive value-added services, and their reluctance to do so would adversely affect the implementation of our strategy to increase our fee income. Furthermore, the fees that we charge to customers are subject to regulation by Korean financial regulatory authorities, which may seek to implement regulations or measures that may have an adverse impact on our ability to achieve this aspect of our strategy.
Risks relating to competition
Competition in the Korean financial industry is intense, and we may lose market share and experience declining margins as a result.
Competition in the Korean financial market has been and is likely to remain intense. Some of the financial institutions that we compete with are larger in terms of asset size and customer base and have longer operating histories as financial holding companies, greater financial resources or more specialized capabilities than us and our subsidiaries. In addition, in the area of our core banking operations, most Korean banks have been focusing on retail customers and small- andmedium-sized enterprises in recent years, although they have begun to generally increase their exposure to large corporate borrowers, and have been focusing on developing fee income businesses, including bancassurance and investment products, as increasingly important sources of revenue. In the area of credit cards, Korean banks and credit card companies have in the past engaged in aggressive marketing activities and made significant investments, contributing to some extent to lower profitability and asset quality problems previously experienced with respect to credit card receivables. The competition and market saturation resulting from this common focus may make it more difficult for us to secure retail, small- andmedium-sized enterprise and large corporate customers with the credit quality and on credit terms necessary to maintain or increase our income and profitability.
In addition, the following general regulatory reforms in the Korean financial industry have increased competition among banks and other financial institutions in Korea:
In the second half of 2015, the Korean government implemented measures to facilitate bank account portability of retail customers by requiring commercial banks to establish systems that allow retail customers to easily switch their bank accounts at one commercial bank to another and automatically transfer the automatic payment settings of their former accounts to the new ones.
In March 2016, the Financial Services Commission introduced an individual savings account scheme in Korea, which enables individuals to efficiently manage a wide range of retail investment vehicles, including cash deposits, investment funds and securities investment products, from a single integrated account with one financial institution and offers tax benefits on investment returns. Since the scheme backed by the Korean government allows only one individual savings account per person, financial institutions have been competing to retain existing customers and attract new customers since the launch of the individual savings account scheme. Over 30 financial institutions, including banks, securities companies and insurance companies, have registered with the Financial Services Commission to sell their individual savings account products, and we expect fierce competition among these institutions.
|
In April 2019, the Financial Services Commission approved and is currently conducting test procedures for a financial regulatory sandbox, a framework set up to allow financial service providers to test new business models in a less regulated environment, as part of its efforts to work closely with the fintech sector and provide support to facilitate its development. In May 2019, we introduced a “drive-thru money exchangeWe plan to implement several new innovative financial services through such financial regulatory sandbox, such as Woori Card’s non-resident foreigner services for international wire transfers and withdrawal service” that is expected to allow our customers to exchange currencies and make withdrawals at drive-thru locations without having to visit a bank, which was approved by the Financial Services Commission for testingcredit card rent payments, in the financial regulatory sandbox. In November 2019, we entered into an agreement with Shinsaegae Duty Free to provide foreign exchange drive-thru services on weekends, when banks are generally closed.third quarter of 2021. Over 80130 financial services have been similarly approved for such testing.testing under the financial regulatory sandbox.
In December 2019, the Financial Services Commission launched an “open banking” system, which allows customers to view banking account information, regardless of institution, through a single mobile application. Such integrated system is expected to allow fintech firms to share payment networks with banks, thereby cuttinglowering transaction fees and encouraging the development of new payment services.
In August 2020, amendments to the Credit Information Use and Protection Act established the framework for MyData services in Korea, which allow the collection of customers’ personal credit information from credit information providers/users or public institutions upon the customer’s request and subject to compliance requirements, so that customers may access such collected personal credit information in whole or in part. In January 2021, the Financial Services Commission granted licenses to 28 companies to operate as MyData service providers, 14 of which were fintech firms. We expect competition between traditional financial institutions and fintech firms to intensify, particularly with respect to asset management services, as MyData services are expected to expand in the second half of 2021.
Overall, such measures tomay not only intensify competition among traditional financial institutions in Korea.Korea, but also allow new market participants such as fintech firms to potentially gain market share in certain areas in which we operate.
Furthermore, the introduction of Internet-only banks in Korea is expected to increase competition in the Korean banking industry. Internet-only banks generally operate without branches and conduct most of their operations through electronic means, which enable them to minimize costs and offer customers higher interest rates on deposits or lower lending rates. In April 2017, K bank, the first Internet-only bank in Korea, in which Woori Bank owns 13.8%19.9% of the equity with voting rights, commenced operations.operations, and in July 2017, Kakao Bank, a mobile-only bank, commenced operations in July 2017.operations. In December 2019, Toss Bank was granted aobtained preliminary license by the Financial Services Commissionapproval to operate as an Internet-only bank from the Financial Services Commission and is expected to begin operations in July 2021 upon receivingbe granted final approval from the Financial Services Commission.by June 2021.
Moreover, athe Korean financial industry is undergoing significant consolidation through which the number of nationwide commercial banks in Korea has significantly decreased since the financial crisis in Korea in the
late 1990s. A number of significant mergers and acquisitions in the financial industry have also taken place in Korea in recent years, including Hana Financial Group’s acquisition of a controlling interest in Korea Exchange Bank in 2012, the subsequent merger of Hana Bank into Korea Exchange Bank in 2015, KB Financial Group’s acquisition of Hyundai Securities Co., Ltd. in 2016 and the subsequent merger of Hyundai Securities with and into KB Investment & Securities Co., Ltd. in 2016. In 2016, Mirae Asset Securities Co., Ltd. acquired a 43% interest in KDB Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd., which subsequently merged with and into Mirae Asset Securities to create Mirae Asset Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd., the largest securities company in Korea in terms of capital. In 2014, pursuant to the implementation of the Korean government’s privatization plan with respect to Woori Finance Holdings and its former subsidiaries, Woori Financial, Woori Asset Management and Woori F&I were acquired by KB Financial Group, Kiwoom Securities and Daishin Securities, respectively, and Woori Investment & Securities, Woori Aviva Life Insurance and Woori FG Savings Bank were acquired by NongHyup Financial Group. In addition, in October 2014, the KDIC’s ownership interest in Kwangju Bank and Kyongnam Bank were acquired by JB Financial Group and BS Financial Group, respectively. See “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company—Privatization Plan.” Furthermore, Orange Life Insurance, Ltd. (formerly known as ING Life Insurance Korea, Ltd.) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shinhan Financial Group following the acquisition of equity interests by Shinhan Financial Group in February 2019 and January 2020. Furthermore, in 2020, Hana Financial Group acquired The-K Non-Life Insurance Co., Ltd. to form Hana Insurance Co., Ltd., KB Financial Group acquired The Prudential Life Insurance Company of Korea Ltd., and Shinhan Financial Group acquired the venture capital firm Neoplux.
We expect that consolidation in the Korean financial industry will continue. Other financial institutions may seek to acquire or merge with other entities, and the financial institutions resulting from such consolidation may, by virtue of their increased size and business scope, provide significantly greater competition for us. We also believe that foreign financial institutions, many of which have greater experience and resources than we do, may
seek to compete with us in providing financial products and services either by themselves or in partnership with existing Korean financial institutions. Increased competition and continuing consolidation may lead to decreased margins, resulting in a material adverse impact on our future profitability. Accordingly, our results of operations and financial condition may suffer as a result of increasing competition in the Korean financial industry.
Competition for customer deposits may increase, resulting in a loss of our deposit customers or an increase in our funding costs.
In recent years, we have faced increasing pricing pressure on deposit products from our competitors. If we do not continue to offer competitive interest rates to our deposit customers, we may lose their business. In addition, even if we are able to match our competitors’ pricing, doing so may result in an increase in our funding costs, which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
Other risks relating to our business
The recent global outbreak ofCOVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, has spread globally and was declared a “pandemic” by the World Health Organization onin March 11, 2020. The global outbreak ofCOVID-19 has led to global economic and financial disruptions and has adversely affected our business operations in recent months. Risks associated withoperations. We have been subjected to and remain subject to a prolonged outbreaknumber ofCOVID-19 may include: related risks, including but not limited to:
an increase in defaults on loan payments from our customers who may not be able to meet payment obligations, which may lead to an increase in delinquency ratios and a deterioration in asset quality, resulting in increased charge-offs, higher provisioning and reduced interest and fee income;
decreases in interest rates worldwide (see “—An increase in interest rates would decrease the value of our debt securities portfolio and raise our funding costs while reducing loan demand and the repayment ability of our borrowers, which could adversely affect us”);
depreciation of the Won against major foreign currencies, which may increase our costs in servicing foreign currency-denominated debt and result in foreign exchange losses (see “—Unfavorable changes in the global financial markets could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition”);
impairments in the fair value of our investments in companies that may be adversely affected by the pandemic;
disruption in the normal operations of our business resulting from the contraction of the disease by our employees or customers, which may necessitate our employees to be quarantined and/or our offices or branches to be temporarily shut down; and
disruption resulting from the necessity for social distancing, including, for example, temporary arrangements for employees to work remotely, which may lead to a reduction in labor productivity.
While the exact nature and magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations are continuing to be assessed by our management, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic hasSuch risks have had a negative impact on our results of operations forin 2020 and may continue to do so in the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Itfuture, but it is not possible to predict the duration or the full magnitude of the overall harm that may result from the COVID-19 outbreak in the long term.
In addition, in response to the outbreak, weKorean financial regulatory authorities, including the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service, have adopted policies for Korean banks to provide relief or assistance to customers. For example, the Korean government has implemented policies to extend loan terms and defer payments on interest and principal with respect to certain borrowers. In particular, in April 2020, the Korean government established the “COVID-19 SME and Small Merchant Financial Support Program” for small- and medium-sized enterprises and small merchants that are in good standing and have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic (which excludes consumer loans and loans relating to the sale or leasing of real estate). As of December 31, 2020, our total loans (including payment guarantees) subject to such program amounted to￦1,820 billion. Although the program was originally scheduled to expire in September 2020, it has been extended twice and is currently expected to end in September 2021. However, the Korean government has signaled that the program’s expected termination date is subject to change based on discussions with affected financial institutions after on a comprehensive review of the following factors at the time: (i) the current state of the pandemic, (ii) the conditions of the Korean economy and (iii) the stability of the financial industry. For further information regarding our exposure to such loan deferment program, see Note 3 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
We and our subsidiaries have also implemented variousadditional measures, both financial, such as offering extensions on the terms or discounts on the interest rates of certain loans and waiving ATM transaction fees in certain areas mostin Korea affected by COVID-19, including Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do, and non-financial, such as installing acrylic transparent barriers in our branches and distributing masks to protect our customers and workforce. We have also established a group emergency management committee to accurately assess the relevant risks, proactively develop countermeasures and enhance reporting and communication systems on a group-wide basis. Notwithstanding such efforts, in the event that COVID-19 or other types of widespread infectious diseases cannot be effectively and timely contained, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may continue to be adversely affected.
Unfavorable changes in the global financial markets could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
The overall prospects for the Korean and global economy in 20202021 and beyond remain uncertain. In recent years, the global financial markets have experienced significant volatility as a result of, among other things:
the occurrence of severe health epidemics, such as the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic;
interest rate fluctuations as well as changes in policy rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks;
financial and social difficulties affecting many countries worldwide, in particular in Latin America and Europe;
a deterioration in economic and trade relations between the United States and its major trading partners, including China;
the slowdown of economic growth in China and other major emerging market economies;
increased uncertainties resulting from the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union; and
political and social instability in various countries in the Middle East, including Syria, Iraq and Egypt.
In light of the high level of interdependence of the global economy, unfavorable changes in the global financial markets, including as a result of any of the foregoing developments, could have a material adverse effect on the Korean economy and financial markets, and in turn on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are also exposed to adverse changes and volatility in the global and Korean financial markets as a result of our liabilities and assets denominated in foreign currencies and our holdings of trading and investment securities, including structured products. The value of the Won relative to major foreign currencies in general and the U.S. dollar in particular has fluctuated widely in recent years and has recently been subject to significant volatility as a result of the recentCOVID-19 pandemic. A depreciation of the Won will increase our cost of servicing our foreign currency-denominated debt, while continued exchange rate volatility may also result in foreign exchange losses for us. Furthermore, as a result of the deterioration in global and Korean economic conditions, there has been downward pressure on securities prices, including the stock prices of Korean and foreign companies in which we hold an interest. Notwithstanding the Korean government’s efforts to stabilize such volatility through aggressive fiscal and financial policies, including through the execution of a bilateral currency swap agreement with the U.S. Federal Reserve for the provision of US$60 billion in exchange forWon-denominated treasury bonds in March 2020 and the establishmentBank of bond and stock market stabilization funds withKorea’s reduction of its policy rate to the participationunprecedented level of Korean banks,0.50% in May 2020, such developments have resulted in and may lead to further trading and valuation losses on our trading and investment securities portfolio as well as impairment losses on our investments in joint ventures and associates. See “—An increase in interest rates would decrease the value of our debt securities portfolio and raise our funding costs while reducing loan demand and the repayment ability of our borrowers, which could adversely affect us.”
Our risk management system may not be effective in mitigating risk and loss.
We seek to monitor and manage our risk exposure through a standardized risk management system, encompassing a multi-tiered risk management governance structure under our Board Risk Management Committee, our centralized credit risk management system called the Credit Wizard system, reporting and monitoring systems, early warning systems and other risk management infrastructure, using a variety of risk management strategies and techniques.Seetechniques. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” However, such risk management strategies and techniques employed by us and the judgments that accompany their application cannot anticipate the economic and financial outcome in all market environments, and many of our risk management strategies and techniques have a basis in historichistorical market behavior that may limit the effectiveness of such strategies and techniques in times of significant market stress or other unforeseen circumstances. Furthermore, our risk management strategies may not be effective in a difficult or less liquid market environment, as other market participants may be attempting to use the same or similar strategies as us to deal with such market conditions. In such circumstances, it may be difficult for us to reduce our risk positions due to the activity of such other market participants.
We have provided certain assets as collateral in connection with our secured borrowings and could be required to make payments and realize losses in the future relating to those assets.
We have provided certain assets as collateral for our secured borrowings in recent years. As of December 31, 2019,2020, the aggregate amount of assets we had provided as collateral for our secured borrowings was ￦11,923 billion.These￦13,932 billion. These secured borrowings may take the form of asset securitization transactions, where we nominally sell our assets to a securitization vehicle that issues securities backed by those assets, although the assets remain on our statements of financial position. These secured borrowings are intended to be fully repaid through recoveries on collateral. Some of these nominal asset sales were with recourse, which means that if delinquencies arise with respect to such assets, we will be required to either repay a proportionate amount of the related secured borrowing (by reversing the nominal sale and repurchasing such assets) or compensate the securitization vehicle for any net shortfalls in its recoveries on such assets. If we are required to make payments
on such assets, or to repay our secured borrowings on those assets and are unable to make sufficient recoveries on them, we may realize further losses on these assets.
An increase in interest rates would decrease the value of our debt securities portfolio and raise our funding costs while reducing loan demand and the repayment ability of our borrowers, which could adversely affect us.
Interest rates in Korea have been subject to significant fluctuations in the past. The Bank of Korea reduced its policy rate to 2.00% through a series of reductions from 2012 to 2014 to support Korea’s economy in light of the slowdown in Korea’s growth and uncertain global economic prospects. The Bank of Korea further reduced its policy rate to 1.50% in 2015 and again to 1.25% in June 2016 amid deflationary concerns and interest rate cuts by central banks around the world. While the Bank of Korea increased its policy rate to 1.50% in November 2017 and 1.75% in November 2018 in light of improved growth prospects in Korea and rising interest rate levels globally, it again reduced its policy rate to 1.50% in June 2019 and 1.25% in October 2019 to address the sluggishness of the global and domestic economies. Moreover, in March 2020, the Bank of Korea further reduced its policy rate to an unprecedented levels of 0.75% in March 2020 and 0.50% in May 2020 amid rising concerns of a potential global recession as a result of theCOVID-19 pandemic. All else being equal, increases in interest rates in the future could lead to a decline in the value of our portfolio of debt securities, which generally pay interest based on a fixed rate. A sustained increase in interest rates will also raise our funding costs, while reducing loan demand, especially among consumers. Rising interest rates may therefore require us tore-balance our asset portfolio and our liabilities in order to minimize the risk of potential mismatches and maintain our profitability. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” In addition, rising interest rate levels may adversely affect the Korean economy and the financial condition of our corporate and consumer borrowers, including holders of our credit cards, which in turn may lead to a deterioration in our credit portfolio. In particular, since most of our consumer and corporate loans bear interest at rates that adjust periodically based on prevailing market rates, a sustained increase in interest rates would increase the interest costs of our consumer and corporate borrowers and will adversely affect their ability to make payments on their outstanding loans.
Uncertainties regarding the possible discontinuation oftransition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, or any other interest rate benchmark could have adverse consequences for market participants, including us.
In July 2017,March 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, or the FCA, which has regulatory authority with respect to LIBOR, announced that it does not intendall LIBOR settings will either cease to continue to encourage,be provided by any administrator or use its power to compel, panel banks to provide rate submissions forno longer be representative (i) after December 31, 2021 in the determinationcase of LIBOR beyondall sterling, euro, Swiss franc and Japanese yen settings and the endone-week and two-month U.S. dollar settings and (ii) after June 30, 2023 in the case of 2021. It is possible that panel banks will continue to provide rate submissions, and thatthe remaining U.S. dollar settings. While the ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, will continue to determine and announcemay publish certain LIBOR settings on the current basis after 2021, if they are willing and able to do so. However,of a synthetic methodology for “tough legacy” contracts, there is no guarantee that LIBORsuch rates will be determined and published after the announced after 2021 ondeadlines nor confirmed to be representative by the current basis or at all.FCA.
Given the extensive use of LIBOR across financial markets, the transition away from LIBOR presents various risks and challenges to financial markets and institutions, including us, and in particular, Woori Bank. We issue, trade, hold or otherwise use various products and securities that reference LIBOR, including, among others, loans, securities, deposits, borrowings, derivatives and debentures. debentures, and have adopted specific measures for its cessation. See “Item 5.A. Operating Results—Overview—Cessation of LIBOR.”
If not sufficiently planned for, the discontinuation of LIBOR or any other interest rate benchmark could result in increased financial, operational,
legal, reputational and/or compliance risks. For example, a significant challenge will be managing the impact of the LIBOR transition on the contractual mechanics of LIBOR-based financial instruments and contracts that mature after 2021.the announced deadlines. Certain of these instruments and contracts may not provide for alternative reference rates. Even if such instruments and contracts provide for alternative reference rates, such alternative reference rates are likely to differ from the prior benchmark rates and may require us to pay interest at higher rates on the related obligations, which could adversely impact our interest expenses, results of operations and cash flows. For example, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR,
has been identified by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee convened by the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the preferred alternative benchmark reference rate for LIBOR and differs from LIBOR in many respects, including its basis on actual observed transactions in the U.S. Treasury market as opposed to LIBOR’s usage of estimations of borrowing rates. While there are a number of international working groups focused on transition plans and the provision of fallback contract language that seek to minimize market disruption, replacement of LIBOR or any other benchmark with a new benchmark rate, such as SOFR, could adversely impact the value of and return on existing instruments and contracts. Moreover, replacement of LIBOR or other benchmark rates could result in market dislocations and have other adverse consequences for market participants, including the potential for increased costs, and litigation risks, including the potential for disputes with counterparties regarding the interpretation and enforceability of fallback contract language in LIBOR-based financial instruments and contracts.
Our funding is highly dependent on short-term deposits, which dependence may adversely affect our operations.
We meet a significant amount of our funding requirements through short-term funding sources, which consist primarily of customer deposits. As of December 31, 2019,2020, approximately 96.8%96.2% of these deposits had maturities of one year or less or were payable on demand.Indemand. In the past, a substantial proportion of these customer deposits have been rolled over upon maturity. We cannot guarantee, however, that depositors will continue to roll over their deposits in the future. In the event that a substantial number of these short-term deposit customers withdraw their funds or fail to roll over their deposits as higher-yielding investment opportunities emerge, our liquidity position could be adversely affected. We may also be required to seek more expensive sources of short-term and long-term funding to finance our operations. See “Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Liquidity.”
Labor union unrest may disrupt our operations and hinder our ability to continue to reorganize our operations.
Most financial institutions in Korea have experienced periods of labor unrest. In recent years, we have transferred or merged some of the business operations of our subsidiaries and affiliates into one or more entities and implemented other forms of corporate and operational restructuring, including in connection with the Korean government’s privatization plan with respect to Woori Finance Holdings and its former subsidiaries. See “—Risks relating to our structure and strategy—The implementation of the Korean government’s privatization plan may have an adverse effect on us and your interests as a shareholder.” We may also decide to implement other organizational or operational changes, as well as acquisitions or dispositions, in the future. Such efforts have in the past been met with significant opposition from labor unions in Korea. Actual or threatened labor disputes may in the future disrupt the reorganization process and our business operations, which in turn may hurt our financial condition and results of operations.
The secondary market for corporate bonds in Korea is not fully developed, and, as a result, we may not be able to realize the full“marked-to-market” value of debt securities we hold when we sell any of those securities.
As of December 31, 2019,2020, we held debt securities issued by Korean companies and financial institutions (other than those issued by government-owned or -controlled enterprises or financial institutions, which include the Bank of Korea, the Korea Development Bank, the Korea Housing Finance Corporation and the Industrial Bank of Korea, among others) with a total book value of ￦2,424￦6,030 billion in our trading and investment securities portfolio.Theportfolio. The market value of these securities could decline significantly due to various factors, including future increases in interest rates or a deterioration in the financial and economic condition of any particular issuer or of Korea in general. Any of these factors individually or a combination of these factors would require us to write down the fair value of these debt securities, resulting in impairment losses. Because the secondary market for corporate bonds in Korea is not fully developed, the market value of many of these securities as reflected on our consolidated statements of financial position is determined by references to suggested prices posted by Korean rating agencies, which measure prices based on observable market data. These valuations, however, may differ
significantly from the actual value that we could realize in the event we elect to sell these securities. As a result,
we may not be able to realize the full“marked-to-market” value at the time of any such sale of these securities and thus may incur additional losses.
We may be required to raise additional capital if our capital adequacy ratios deteriorate or the applicable capital requirements change in the future, but we may not be able to do so on favorable terms or at all.
Under the capital adequacy requirements of the Financial Services Commission, as of December 31, 2019,2020, we as a bank holding company were required to maintain a total minimum common equity Tier I capital adequacy ratio of 7.0%8.0%, Tier I capital adequacy ratio of 8.5%9.5% and combined Tier I and Tier II capital adequacy ratio of 10.5%11.5%, on a consolidated basis (including applicable additional capital buffers and requirements as described below), and Woori Bank as a bank was required to maintain a total minimum common equity Tier I capital adequacy ratio of 8.0%, Tier I capital adequacy ratio of 9.5% and combined Tier I and Tier II capital adequacy ratio of 11.5%, on a consolidated basis (including applicable additional capital buffers and requirements as described below). As of December 31, 2019,2020, our common equity Tier I capital, Tier I capital and combined Tier I and Tier II capital adequacy ratios were 8.39%10.00%, 9.86%11.78% and 11.89%13.84%, respectively, and Woori Bank’s common equity Tier I capital, Tier I capital and combined Tier I and Tier II capital adequacy ratios were 10.97%13.14%, 13.17%15.03% and 15.40%17.34%, respectively, all of which exceeded the minimum levels required by the Financial Services Commission. However, our capital base and capital adequacy ratios may deteriorate in the future if our results of operations or financial condition deteriorates for any reason, or if we are not able to deploy our funding into suitably low-risk assets.
The current capital adequacy requirements of the Financial Services Commission are derived from a new set of bank capital measures, referred to as Basel III, which the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision initially introduced in 2009 and began phasing in starting from 2013. Commencing in July 2013, the Financial Services Commission promulgated a series of amended regulations implementing Basel III, pursuant to which Korean banks and bank holding companies were required to maintain a minimum ratio of common equity Tier I capital (which principally includes equity capital, capital surplus and retained earnings) to risk-weighted assets of 3.5% and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% from December 1, 2013, which minimum ratios were increased to 4.0% and 5.5%, respectively, from January 1, 2014 and increased further to 4.5% and 6.0%, respectively, from January 1, 2015. Such requirements are in addition to thepre-existing requirement for a minimum ratio of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, which remains unchanged. The amended regulations also require an additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% in 20192020 and 2020,2021, as well as a potential counter-cyclical capital buffer of up to 2.5%, which is determined on a quarterly basis by the Financial Services Commission. Furthermore, Woori Bank was designated as a domestic systemically important bank for 2019 by the Financial Services Commission and was subject to an additional capital requirement of 1.0% in 2019. In June 2019, we and Woori Bank were each designated as a domestic systemically important bank holding company and a domestic systematically important bank for 2020 by the Financial Services Commission and was subject to an additional capital requirement of 1.0% in 2020. In June 2020, we and Woori Bank were again each designated as a domestic systemically important bank holding company and a domestic systemically important bank, respectively, for 2020,2021, which subjects us and Woori Bank to the additional capital requirement of 1.0% in 2020.2021. The implementation of Basel III in Korea may have a significant effect on the capital requirements of Korean financial institutions, including us. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies—Capital Adequacy” and “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Capital Adequacy.”
In measuring risk-weighted assets for the purpose of calculating capital adequacy ratios, generally the standardized approach or the internal ratings-based approach is applied. However, for the application of the internal ratings-based approach, which relies on the internal rating system of the relevant bank or bank holding company, the bank or bank holding company must receive approval from the Financial Supervisory Service after a trial evaluation period. While we have commenced the process to receive such approval, we are currently required to apply the standardized approach to measure our risk-weighted assets as a newly-established bank holding company, and as a result, our capital adequacy ratios may be lower compared to those of Woori Bank.
We may be required to obtain additional capital in the future in order to remain in compliance with the applicable capital adequacy and other regulatory requirements. However, we may not be able to obtain additional
capital on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to obtain additional capital at any time may be constrained to the extent that banks, bank holding companies or other financial institutions in Korea or from other countries are seeking to raise capital at the same time. To the extent that we fail to comply with applicable capital adequacy or other regulatory requirements in the future, Korean regulatory authorities may impose penalties on us ranging from a warning to suspension or revocation of our banking license.
We engage in limited activities relating to Iran and may become subject to sanctions under relevant laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions as a result of such activities, which may adversely affect our business and reputation.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, administers and enforces certain laws and regulations (which we refer to as OFAC sanctions) that impose restrictions upon activities or transactions within U.S. jurisdiction with certain countries, governments, entities and individuals that are the subject of OFAC sanctions, including Iran.Non-U.S. persons generally are not automatically bound by OFAC sanctions, but to the extent they engage in transactions completed in part in the United States or through U.S. persons (such as, for example, wiring an international payment that clears through a bank branch in New York), they are required to comply with U.S. sanctions. The European Union also enforces certain laws and regulations that impose restrictions upon nationals and entities of, and business conducted in, member states with respect to activities or transactions with certain countries, governments, entities and individuals that are the subject of such laws and regulations, including with respect to targeted entities in Iran. The United Nations Security Council and other governmental entities (including Korea) also impose similar sanctions.
The United States also maintains indirect sanctions, which we refer to collectively as U.S. secondary sanctions, which provide authority for the imposition of U.S. sanctions on foreign parties that engage in targeted transactions with no connection to U.S. jurisdiction. Secondary sanctions are maintained under a wide and growing range of statutes and Executive Orders, and the standard language of most Executive Orders provides authority to impose sanctions on persons providing material support to designated entities. Secondary sanctions have been of increasing importance in recent years, particularly (but not only) with respect to Iran, Russia, and North Korea. Iran has also been designated as a “jurisdiction of primary money laundering concern” under Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act, potentially subjecting banks dealing with Iranian financial institutions to increased regulatory scrutiny.
Violations of OFAC sanctions via transactions with a U.S. jurisdictional nexus can result in substantial civil or criminal penalties. U.S. secondary sanctions apply even when no such jurisdictional nexus exists, and companies that engage in targeted activities under secondary sanctions may themselves become the target of OFAC sanctions, including, among other things, the blocking of any property subject to U.S. jurisdiction in which the sanctioned company has an interest, which would include a prohibition on transactions or dealings within U.S. jurisdiction involving securities of the sanctioned company. Financial institutions engaging in targeted activity could in some instances be sanctioned by termination or restriction of their ability to maintain correspondent accounts in the United States. The imposition of sanctions against foreign financial institutions pursuant to U.S. secondary sanctions is highly discretionary and not automatic, requiring further action by the U.S. administration.
Previously, Korea benefited from a “significant reduction” exception, or SRE, that exempted Korean companies from many U.S. secondary sanctions in connection with purchases of crude oil and natural gas from Iran that met a series of conditions, including restrictions on the currencies involved and stringent limits on the use of proceeds of oil and gas purchases. The U.S. Department of State announced that as of May 2, 2019, it would discontinue the exemption.
In 2019,2020, we engaged in the following activities relating to Iran:
We have operatedoperate certain accounts for the Central Bank of Iran, or the CBI, which were opened by the CBI pursuant to a service agreement entered into by us and the CBI in September 2010, as amended from time to time, to facilitate trade between Korea and Iran. TheIn light of the discontinuation of the SRE, from July 8, 2019 to September 20, 2019, we limited activity in the existing CBI accounts opened byto processing payments for exports of humanitarian goods to Iran, and due to the imposition of additional sanctions against the CBI consiston September 20, 2019, we ceased all activity in the existing CBI accounts until July 12, 2020. Starting July 13, 2020, at the request ofWon-denominated accounts that are used the Korean government, we resumed processing payments for the settlement of exports of certain humanitarian goods produced or substantially transformed in Korea to Iran, bysuch as those permitted under OFAC General License No. 8, which authorizes certain humanitarian trades involving the CBI. In resuming the transactions involving the CBI account for humanitarian trade, we consulted with the Korean exporters and Won, U.S. dollar, euro and JapaneseYen-denominated accounts (ofgovernment, which, in

We have also provided fund transfer and financing services to Korean exporters and importers in connection with their trade transactions with Iranian parties which were permitted under the relevant Korean sanctions regime and not subject to U.S. secondary sanctions. We have discontinued all trade financing activities relating to export and import trades involving the CBI accounts since November 5, 2018. In 2019, all such exports and imports were settled through telegraphic transfer and did not involve our financing services. In addition, we continued to honor our obligations on a limited basis under previously-issued bank guarantees to the extent that such activities did not violate OFAC sanctions or applicable U.S. secondary sanctions.In 2019, our total fee revenue from the relevant telegraphic transfer services amounted to approximately ￦0.64 million.As there were no expenses directly applicable to such activities under our internal management accounts, we estimate that our net income before tax from such activities also amounted to approximately ￦0.64 million.

We also maintain a limited number of deposit accounts in Korea for an Iranian financial institution that were opened prior to its designation forit becoming subject to U.S. sanctions. The relevant accounts have since been restricted, and no transactions are currently allowed through these accounts. Accordingly, there were no fee revenues from maintaining such deposit accounts, and there were no expenses directly applicable to such activities under our internal management accounts.accounts, in 2020.
While we have conformed our Iran-related dealings with U.S. secondary sanctions previously waived under the SRE and ceased such activities following the expiration of the SRE on May 2, 2019, regulatory guidance regarding the wind down ofSRE-related activities to date is limited, and complications may arise in relation to legacy accounts or our past activities during or following the wind down. While we do not believe that our past activities relating to Iran have violated OFAC sanctions or are sanctionable under applicable U.S. secondary sanctions, there is no guarantee that such activities will not be found to have violated OFAC sanctions or involved sanctionable activity under U.S. secondary sanctions, or that any other government will not determine that our activities violated applicable sanctions of other countries. Sanctions against Iran continue to evolve rapidly, and future changes in law could also adversely affect us.
Furthermore, there is no guarantee that other countries (including Korea) that had provided sanctions relief to Iran in conjunction with the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) will not decide tore-impose sanctions relating to Iran, especially if there are further negative political developments relating to the Middle East. It is also possible that the United States, Korea or other countries might seek to expand their sanctions relating to Iran in the future beyond those existing currently. Such governmental actions and policies may also increase the risk of our violating certain sanctions or becoming a target of sanctions as a result of our past or future activities relating to Iran. Any such development could have a material adverse impact on our business, reputation or results of operations.
Our business and reputation could be adversely affected if the U.S. government were to determine that our past activities relating to Iran violated OFAC sanctions or involved sanctionable activity under U.S. secondary sanctions, or if any other government were to determine that such activities violated applicable sanctions of other countries. AnyFor example, any prohibition or conditions placed on our use of U.S. correspondent accounts could effectively eliminate our access to the U.S. financial system, including U.S. dollar clearing transactions, which would adversely affect our business, and any other sanctions or civil or criminal penalties imposed could also adversely affect our business. If the U.S. government were to challenge the compatibility of our past activities relating to Iran with OFAC sanctions or U.S. secondary sanctions, while no assurances can be given that any such measures would be successful, weWe intend to take all necessary measures to the extent possible to ensure that such prohibitions or conditions are not placed on our use of U.S. correspondent accounts, including closing the accounts opened by the CBI with us, if required.us.
We arehave been cooperating with an investigation relating to compliance with U.S. sanctions and other U.S. laws led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the New York State Office of the Attorney General on certain of our transactions involving sanctioned countries. We have provided the investigating authorities with information and documents pursuant to the applicable laws and regulations. We voluntarily reported the relevant transactions to OFAC, including a limited number of previous transactions that
may have involved sanctioned countries including Iran, Sudan, Syria and Cuba.Cuba, and shared such information with banking regulators including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the New York Department of Financial Services. On December 3, 2020, OFAC concluded its investigation with a cautionary letter as its final enforcement action; however, the investigations by other U.S. government agencies have not been formally concluded and may continue to require our cooperation. It is not possible to predict the outcome of such investigationinvestigations at this time, and there can be no assurance that such investigation will not result in an unfavorable outcome or adversely affect our business or reputation.
Furthermore, some of our U.S. investors may be required to divest their investments in us or forego the purchase of our securities under the laws of certain U.S. states relating to investments by state-owned entities or under internal investment policies relating to companies (or their affiliates) doing business with Iran, or investors may decide for reputational reasons to divest or forego such investments. We are aware of initiatives by U.S. governmental entities and U.S. institutional investors, such as pension funds, to adopt or consider adopting laws, regulations or policies prohibiting transactions with or investment in, or requiring divestment from, entities doing business with countries identified as state sponsors of terrorism. There can be no assurance that the foregoing will not occur or that such occurrence will not have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock and ADSs.
Our operations may be subject to increasing and continually evolving cybersecurity and other technological risks.
With the proliferation of new technologies and the increasing use of the Internet and mobile devices to conduct financial transactions, our operations as a financial institution have been, and will continue to be, subject to an increasing risk of cyber incidents relating to these activities, the nature of which is continually evolving. Our computer systems, software and networks are subject to cyber incidents, such as disruptions, delays or other difficulties affecting our information technology systems, computer viruses or other malicious codes, loss or destruction of data (including confidential client information), unauthorized access, account takeover attempts and cyber attacks. A significant portion of our daily operations relies on our information technology systems, including customer service, billing, the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information as well as the timely monitoring of a large number of complex transactions. Although we have made substantial and continuouscontinual investments to build systems and defenses to address cybersecurity and other technological risks, there is no guarantee that such measures or any other measures can provide adequate security and stability. In addition, because methods used to cause cyber attacks change frequently or, in some cases, are not recognized until launched, we may be unable to implement effective preventive measures or proactively address these methods. Furthermore, these cyber threats may arise from human error, accidental technological failure and third parties with whom we do business. If we were to be subject to a system failure or other cyber incident, it could result in the disclosure of confidential client information, damage to our reputation with our customers and in the market, customer dissatisfaction, additional costs to us, regulatory penalties, exposure to litigation and other financial losses to both us and our customers, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our business may be adversely affected by legal claims and regulatory actions against us.
We are subject to the risk of legal claims and regulatory actions, which may expose us to monetary damages and legal costs, injunctive relief, criminal and civil penalties, sanctions against our management and employees and regulatory restrictions on our operations, as well as reputational harm. See “Item 8.A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Legal Proceedings and Regulatory Actions.”
We are unable to predict the outcome of many of the legal claims and regulatory actions in which we are involved, and the scope of the claims or actions or the total amount in dispute in such matters may increase. Furthermore, adverse decisions, findings or resolutions in such matters could encourage other parties, including governmental authorities in other jurisdictions, to bring similar claims and actions against us. Accordingly, the outcome of current and future legal claims and regulatory actions, particularly those for which it is difficult to
assess the maximum potential exposure or the ultimate adverse impact with any degree of certainty, may materially and adversely impact our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.
We are generally subject to Korean corporate governance and disclosure standards, which differ in significant respects from those in other countries.
Companies in Korea, including us, are subject to corporate governance standards applicable to Korean public companies which differ in many respects from standards applicable in other countries, including the United States. As a reporting company registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we are subject to certain corporate governance standards as mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, foreign private issuers, including us, are exempt from certain corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. There may also be less publicly available information about Korean companies, such as us, than is regularly made available by public ornon-public companies in other countries. Such differences in corporate governance standards and less public information could result in less than satisfactory corporate governance practices or disclosure to investors in certain countries.
Risks relating to government regulation and policy
Strengthening of consumer protection laws applicable to financial institutions could adversely affect our operations.
As a financial service provider, we are subject to a variety of regulations in Korea that are designed to protect financial consumers. In recent years, in light of heightened public concern regarding privacy issues, the Korean government has placed greater emphasis on protection of personal information by financial institutions and has implemented a number of measures to enhance consumer protection. Under the Personal Information Protection Act, financial institutions, as personal information managers, may not collect, store, maintain, utilize or provide resident registration numbers of their customers, unless other laws or regulations specifically require or permit the management of resident registration numbers. In addition, under the Use and Protection of Credit Information Act, a financial institution has a higher duty to protect all information that it collects from its customers and is required to treat such information as credit information. A financial institution’s ability to transfer or provide the information to its affiliates or holding company is considerably restricted. Treble damages may be imposed on a financial institution for leakage of such information. Furthermore, under the Electronic Financial Transaction Act, a financial institution is primarily responsible for compensating its customers harmed by a cyber security breach affecting the financial institution even if the breach is not directly attributable to the financial institution.
The Act on the Financial Consumer Protection Framework was passed by the Korean National Assembly onbecame effective as of March 5, 2020.25, 2021. Under the Act, we as a financial instrument distributor will be subject to heightened investor protection measures, including stricter distribution guidelines, improved financial dispute resolution procedures, increased liability for customer losses and newly imposed penalty surcharges. The Act is scheduled to be promulgated after deliberation by the cabinet and will become effective one year after such promulgation.
These and other measures that may be implemented by the Korean government to strengthen consumer protection laws applicable to financial institutions may limit our operational flexibility and cause us to incur significant additional compliance costs, as well as subject us to increased potential liability to our customers, which could adversely affect our business and performance.
The Korean government may promote lending and financial support by the Korean financial industry to certain types of borrowers as a matter of policy, which financial institutions, including us, may decide to follow.
Through its policy guidelines and recommendations, the Korean government has promoted and, as a matter of policy, may continue to attempt to promote lending by the Korean financial industry to particular types of borrowers. For example, the Korean government has in the past announced policy guidelines requesting financial institutions to participate in remedial programs for troubled corporate borrowers, as well as policies aimed at
promoting certain sectors of the economy, including measures such as making low interest funding available to financial institutions that lend to these sectors. The government has in this manner encouraged mortgage lending tolow-income individuals and lending to small- andmedium-sized enterprises. We expect that all loans or credits made pursuant to thesesuch government policies will be reviewed in accordance with our credit approval procedures. However, these or any future government policies may influence us to lend to certain sectors or in a manner in which we otherwise would not in the absence of such policies.
In the past, the Korean government has also announced policies under which financial institutions in Korea are encouraged to provide financial support to particular sectors. For example, in light of the deteriorating financial condition and liquidity position of small- andmedium-sized enterprises in Korea and adverse conditions in the Korean economy affecting such enterprises, the Korean government introduced measures intended to encourage Korean banks to provide financial support to small- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers.borrowers, including guidelines for Korean banks to extend loan terms and defer interest payments with respect to small- and medium sized enterprises and small merchants affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. See “—Risks relating to our corporate credit portfolio—The largest portion of our exposure is to small- andmedium-sized enterprises, and financial difficulties experienced by companies in this segment may result in a deterioration of our asset quality and have an adverse impact on us.” In addition, in September 2019, in response to increasing levels of consumer debt and amid concerns over the debt-servicing capacity of retail borrowers if interest rates were to rise, the Korean government requested Korean banks to participate in a mortgage loan refinancing program forlow-income individuals with low repayment ability aimed at reducing the payment burden on outstanding mortgage loans. See “—Risks relating to our consumer credit portfolio—We may experience increases in delinquencies in our consumer loan and credit card portfolios.”
The Korean government may in the future request financial institutions in Korea, including us, to make investments in or provide other forms of financial support to particular sectors of the Korean economy as a matter of policy, which financial institutions, including us, may decide to accept. We may incur costs or losses as a result of providing such financial support.
The Financial Services Commission may impose burdensome measures on us if it deems us or one of our subsidiaries to be financially unsound.
If the Financial Services Commission deems our financial condition or the financial condition of our subsidiaries to be unsound, or if we or our subsidiaries fail to meet applicable regulatory standards, such as minimum capital adequacy and liquidity ratios, the Financial Services Commission may order or recommend, among other things:
admonitions or warnings with respect to our officers;
capital increases or reductions;
assignments of contractual rights and obligations relating to financial transactions;
a suspension of performance by our officers of their duties and the appointment of receivers;
disposals of property holdings or closures of subsidiaries or branch offices or downsizing;
stock cancellations or consolidations;
mergers with other financial institutions;
acquisition of us by a third party; and
suspensions of a part or all of our business operations.
If any of these measures are imposed on us by the Financial Services Commission, they could hurt our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if the Financial Services Commission orders us to partially or completely reduce our capital, you may lose part or all of your investment.
Risks relating to Korea
Unfavorable financial and economic developments in Korea may have an adverse effect on us.
We are incorporated in Korea, and a substantial majority of our operations are located in Korea. As a result, we are subject to political, economic, legal and regulatory risks specific to Korea, and our performance and successful fulfillment of our operational strategies are dependent to a large extent on the overall Korean economy. The economic indicators in Korea in recent years have shown mixed signs of growth and uncertainty, and starting in early 2020, the overall Korean economy and the economies of Korea’s major trading partners have shown signs of deterioration due to the debilitating effects of theCOVID-19 pandemic. See “—Other risks relating to our business—The recent global outbreak ofCOVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.” As a result, future growth of the Korean economy is subject to many factors beyond our control, including developments in the global economy.
In recent years, adverse conditions and volatility in the worldwide financial markets, fluctuations in oil and commodity prices and the increasing weakness of the global economy, mainly due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, have contributed to the uncertainty of global economic prospects in general and have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the Korean economy. See “—Other risks relating to our business—Unfavorable changes in the global financial markets could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.” The value of the Won relative to major foreign currencies has fluctuated significantly and, as a result of deteriorating global and Korean economic conditions, there has been significant volatility in the stock prices of Korean companies recently. Further declines in the Korea Composite Stock Price Index, or the KOSPI, and large amounts of sales of Korean securities by foreign investors and subsequent repatriation of the proceeds of such sales may adversely affect the value of the Won, the foreign currency reserves held by financial institutions in Korea, and the ability of Korean companies to raise capital. Any future deterioration of the Korean or global economy could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Developments that could have an adverse impact on the Korean economy include:
declines in consumer confidence and a slowdown in consumer spending;
the occurrence of severe health epidemics in Korea or other parts of the world, such as theCOVID-19 pandemic;
adverse conditions or developments in the economies of countries and regions that are important export markets for Korea, such as China, the United States, Europe and Japan, or in emerging market economies in Asia or elsewhere, including as a result of deteriorating economic and trade relations between the United States and China and increased uncertainties resulting from the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union;
adverse changes or volatility in foreign currency reserve levels, commodity prices (including oil prices), exchange rates (including fluctuation of the U.S. dollar, the euro or the Japanese yen exchange rates or revaluation of the Chinese renminbi), interest rates, inflation rates or stock markets;
deterioration in economic or diplomatic relations between Korea and its trading partners or allies, including deterioration resulting from territorial or trade disputes or disagreements in foreign policy (such as the ongoing trade disputes with Japan);
increased sovereign default riskrisks in select countries and the resulting adverse effects on the global financial markets;
a deterioration in the financial condition or performance of small- andmedium-sized enterprises and other companies in Korea due to the Korean government’s policies to increase minimum wages and limit working hours of employees;
| • | investigations ofchaebols and their senior management for possible misconduct; |
a continuing rise in the level of household debt and increasing delinquencies and credit defaults by consumer andsmall- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers in Korea;

Escalations in tensions with North Korea could have an adverse effect on us and the market price of our ADSs.
Relations between Korea and North Korea have been tense throughout Korea’s modern history. The level of tension between the two Koreas has fluctuated and may increase abruptly as a result of current and future events. In particular, there have been heightened security concerns in recent years stemming from North Korea’s nuclear weapon and ballistic missile programs as well as its hostile military actions against Korea. Some of the significant incidents in recent years include the following:
North Korea renounced its obligations under the NuclearNon-Proliferation Treaty in January 2003 and conducted six rounds of nuclear tests since October 2006, including claimed detonations of hydrogen bombs, and warheads that can be mounted on ballistic missiles. Over the years, North Korea has also conducted a series of ballistic missile tests, including missiles launched from submarines and intercontinental ballistic missiles that it claims can reach the United States mainland. In response, the Korean government has repeatedly condemned the provocations and flagrant violations of relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions. In February 2016, the government also closed the inter-

In August 2015, two Korean soldiers were injured in a landmine explosion near the Korean demilitarized zone. Claiming the landmines were set by North Koreans, the Korean army reinitiated its propaganda program toward North Korea utilizing loudspeakers near the demilitarized zone. In retaliation, the North Korean army fired artillery rounds on the loudspeakers, resulting in the highest level of military readiness for both Koreas.
In March 2010, a Korean naval vessel was destroyed by an underwater explosion, killing many of the crewmen on board. The Korean government formally accused North Korea of causing the sinking, while North Korea denied responsibility. Moreover, in November 2010, North Korea fired more than one hundred artillery shells that hit Korea’s Yeonpyeong Island near the Northern Limit Line, which acts as the de facto maritime boundary between Korea and North Korea on the west coast of the Korean peninsula, causing casualties and significant property damage. The Korean government condemned North Korea for the attack and vowed stern retaliation should there be further provocation.
North Korea’s economy also faces severe challenges, which may further aggravate social and political pressures within North Korea. Although bilateral summit meetings between the two Koreas were held in April 2018, May 2018 and September 2018 and between the United States and North Korea in June 2018, February 2019 and June 2019, there can be no assurance that the level of tensions affecting the Korean peninsula will not escalate in the future. Any further increase in tensions, which may occur, for example, if North Korea experiences a leadership crisis, high-level contacts between Korea and North Korea break down or military hostilities occur, could have a material adverse effect on the Korean economy and on our business, financial condition and results of operations and the market value of our common stock and ADSs.
Labor unrest in Korea may adversely affect our operations.
Economic difficulties in Korea or increases in corporate reorganizations and bankruptcies could result in layoffs and higher unemployment. Such developments could lead to social unrest and substantially increase government expenditures for unemployment compensation and other costs for social programs. According to statistics from the Korea National Statistical Office, the unemployment rate increased from 3.7% in 2016 and 2017 to 3.8% in 2018 and 2019.2019 and 4.5% in 2020. Further increases in unemployment and any resulting labor unrest in the future could adversely affect our operations, as well as the operations of many of our customers and their ability to repay their loans, and could adversely affect the financial condition of Korean companies in general, depressing the price of their securities. Furthermore, the government’s privatization plan with respect to us contemplates the sale of its remaining ownership interest in us to one or more third parties, which may lead to labor unrest among our employees. See “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company—Privatization Plan.” Any of these developments may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Risks relating to our common stock and ADSs
We or our major shareholders may sell shares of our common stock in the future, and such sales may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and ADSs and may dilute your investment and relative ownership interest in us.
We have no current plans for any public offerings of our common stock, ADSs or securities exchangeable for or convertible into such securities. However, it is possible that we may decide to offer or sell such securities in the future.
In addition, the KDIC currently owns 124,604,797110,159,443 shares, or 17.25%15.25%, of our outstanding common stock, and IMM Private Equity, Inc., through its special purpose company Nobis1, Inc., currently owns 40,560,000 shares, or 5.62%, of our outstanding common stock. See “Item 7.A. Major Shareholders.” In the future, such major shareholders or any other shareholder that owns a large number of shares of our outstanding common stock may choose to sell large blocks of our common stock in a public offering or privately to a strategic or financial investor, including a sale by the KDIC for the purpose of recovering the public funds it injected into us. For example, in accordance with the Korean government’s privatization plan, the KDIC sold 40,143,022 shares of Woori Bank’s common stock (representing 5.9% of its outstanding common stock) in a private sale in Korea in December 2014 and an aggregate of 200,685,395 shares of Woori Bank’s common stock (representing 29.7% of its outstanding common stock) in stakes ranging from 3.7% to 6.0% to seven financial companies through a bidding process in December 2016 and January 2017. In 2017, pursuant to a series of transactions related to call options previously granted in connection with the KDIC’s sale of Woori Bank’s common stock in December 2014, the KDIC sold an aggregate of 19,852,364 shares of Woori Bank’s common stock (representing 2.94% of its outstanding common stock). After our establishment, in April 2021, pursuant to its plan to sell all of our common stock it owned by 2022 that was approved by the Financial Services Commission, the KDIC sold an aggregate of 14,445,354 shares of our common stock (representing 2.00% of our outstanding common stock) in a block trade. See “—Risks relating to our structure and strategy—The implementation of the Korean government’s privatization plan may have an adverse effect on us and your interests as a shareholder.” We expect the KDIC to sell all or a portion of the shares of our common stock it owns to one or more purchasers in the future.
Any future offerings or sales by us of our common stock or ADSs or securities exchangeable for or convertible into such securities, significant sales of our common stock by a major shareholder, or the public perception that such an offering or sale may occur, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and ADSs. Furthermore, any offerings by us in the future of any such securities could have a dilutive impact on your investment and relative ownership interest in us.
Future sales by the KDIC of the shares of our common stock it owns may result in adverse Korean tax consequences for you.
Under applicable Korean tax laws, anon-Korean holder who held Woori Bank’s common stock or ADSs prior to our establishment as a new financial holding company in January 2019 pursuant to a “comprehensive stock transfer” under Korean law will be able to defer taxation on any capital gains arising from the stock transfer, by virtue of the Special Tax Treatment Control Law of Korea, or the STTCL, until such holder’s sale of our common stock or ADSs received in the stock transfer, at which time the tax basis of such common stock or ADSs will be the acquisition price at which such holder acquired such Woori Bank common stock or ADSs. However,non-Korean holders that are corporations may not defer such portion of tax on capital gains arising from the stock transfer that is attributable to the amount by which the market price of our common stock or ADSs (as calculated in accordance with applicable Korean laws and regulations) is in excess of the market price of Woori Bank’s common stock or ADSs. Any suchnon-Korean holder of our common stock or ADS, including a corporation, which seeks to defer taxation on capital gains arising from the stock transfer will be required to submit a tax deferral application in prescribed form to the Korean tax authorities when filing its tax return for the 2019 tax year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if our largest shareholder, the KDIC, disposes of 50% or more of the shares of our common stock it received in the stock transfer within two years from the end of 2019 (the fiscal year in which the date of the stock transfer falls), the deferral of taxation on capital gains will not be available, and anon-Korean holder who received our common stock or ADSs in the stock transfer will generally be subject to Korean tax on capital gains in an amount equal to the lower of (i) 11.0% (inclusive of local income surtax) of the gross realization proceeds (i.e., the value of our common stock or ADSs such holder received in the stock transfer) or (ii) 22.0% (inclusive of local income surtax) of the net realized gain. However, such capital gains tax may not apply, or may apply at a reduced rate, if such holder establishes its entitlement to an exemption or rate reduction under an applicable tax treaty or Korean tax law. See “Item 10.E. Taxation—Korean Taxation—Tax
Treaties” for information regarding tax treaty benefits. Accordingly, if you received our common stock or ADSs in the stock transfer, future sales by the KDIC of the shares of our common stock it owns may result in adverse Korean tax consequences for you.
Ownership of our common stock is restricted under Korean law.
Under the Financial Holding Company Act, a single shareholder, together with its affiliates, is generally prohibited from owning more than 10.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of a bank holding company such as us that controls a nationwide bank, with the exception of certain shareholders that arenon-financial business group companies, whose applicable limit was reduced from 9.0% to 4.0% pursuant to an amendment of the Financial Holding Company Act which became effective on February 14, 2014. To the extent that the total number of shares of our common stock (including those represented by ADSs) that you and your affiliates own together exceeds the applicable limits, you will not be entitled to exercise the voting rights for the excess shares, and the Financial Services Commission may order you to dispose of the excess shares within a period of up to six months. Failure to comply with such an order would result in an administrative fine of up to 0.03% of the book value of such shares per day until the date of disposal.Non-financial business group companies can no longer acquire more than 4.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of a bank holding company pursuant to the amended Financial Holding Company Act, which grants an exception fornon-financial business group companies which, at the time of the enactment of the amended provisions, held more than 4.0% of the shares thereof with the approval of the Financial Services Commission before the amendment. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies—Restrictions on Ownership of a Financial Holding Company.”
You will not be able to exercise dissent and appraisal rights unless you have withdrawn the underlying shares of our common stock and become our direct shareholder.
In some limited circumstances, including the transfer of the whole or any significant part of our business and the merger or consolidation of us with another company, dissenting shareholders have the right to require us to purchase their shares under Korean law. However, if you hold our ADSs, you will not be able to exercise such dissent and appraisal rights if the depositary refuses to do so on your behalf. Our deposit agreement does not require the depositary to take any action in respect of exercising dissent and appraisal rights. In such a situation, holders of our ADSs must withdraw the underlying common stock from the ADS facility (and incur charges relating to that withdrawal) and become our direct shareholder prior to the record date of the shareholders’ meeting at which the relevant transaction is to be approved, in order to exercise dissent and appraisal rights.
You may be limited in your ability to deposit or withdraw common stock.
Under the terms of our deposit agreement, holders of common stock may deposit such stock with the depositary’s custodian in Korea and obtain ADSs, and holders of ADSs may surrender ADSs to the depositary and receive common stock. However, to the extent that a deposit of common stock exceeds any limit that we may specify from time to time, that common stock will not be accepted for deposit unless our consent with respect to such deposit has been obtained. We currently have not set any such limit; however, we have the right to do so at any time. Under the terms of the deposit agreement, no consent would be required if the shares of common stock were to be obtained through a dividend, free distribution, rights offering or reclassification of such stock. We have consented, under the terms of the deposit agreement, to any deposit unless the deposit would be prohibited by applicable laws or violate our articles of incorporation. If we choose to impose a limit on deposits in the future, however, we might not consent to the deposit of any additional common stock. In that circumstance, if you surrender ADSs and withdraw common stock, you may not be able to deposit the stock again to obtain ADSs. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Restrictions Applicable to Shares” and “Item 10.D. Exchange Controls—Restrictions Applicable to Shares.”
You will not have preemptive rights in some circumstances.
The Korean Commercial Code, as amended, and our articles of incorporation require us, with some exceptions, to offer shareholders the right to subscribe for new shares of our common stock in proportion to their
existing shareholding ratio whenever new shares are issued. If we offer any rights to subscribe for additional shares of our common stock or any rights of any other nature, the depositary, after consultation with us, may make the rights available to holders of our ADSs or use commercially feasible efforts to dispose of the rights on
behalf of such holders, in a riskless principal capacity, and make the net proceeds available to such holders. The depositary will make rights available to holders of our ADSs only if:
we have requested in a timely manner that those rights be made available to such holders;
the depositary has received the documents that are required to be delivered under the terms of the deposit agreement, which may include confirmation that a registration statement filed by us under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, is in effect with respect to those shares or that the offering and sale of those shares is exempt from or is not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act; and
the depositary determines, after consulting with us, that the distribution of rights is lawful and commercially feasible.
Holders of our common stock located in the United States may not exercise any rights they receive absent registration or an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.
We are under no obligation to file any registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to be declared effective. Moreover, we may not be able to establish an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Accordingly, you may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in your holdings. If a registration statement is required for you to exercise preemptive rights but is not filed by us or is not declared effective, you will not be able to exercise your preemptive rights for additional ADSs and you will suffer dilution of your equity interest in us. If the depositary is unable to sell rights that are not exercised or not distributed or if the sale is not lawful or feasible, it will allow the rights to lapse, in which case you will receive no value for these rights.
Your dividend payments and the amount you may realize upon a sale of your ADSs will be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Won.
Our common stock is listed on the KRX KOSPI Market of the Korea Exchange and quoted and traded in Won. Cash dividends, if any, in respect of the shares represented by the ADSs will be paid to the depositary in Won and then converted by the depositary into U.S. dollars, subject to certain conditions. Accordingly, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Won and the U.S. dollar will affect, among other things, the amounts you will receive from the depositary in respect of dividends, the U.S. dollar value of the proceeds that you would receive upon a sale in Korea of the shares of our common stock obtained upon surrender of ADSs and the secondary market price of ADSs. Such fluctuations will also affect the U.S. dollar value of dividends and sales proceeds received by holders of our common stock.
The market value of your investment may fluctuate due to the volatility of, and government intervention in, the Korean securities market.
Our common stock is listed on the KRX KOSPI Market, which has a smaller market capitalization and is more volatile than the securities markets in the United States and many European countries. The market value of ADSs may fluctuate in response to the fluctuation of the trading price of shares of our common stock on the KRX KOSPI Market. The KRX KOSPI Market has experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices and volumes of sales of listed securities and the KRX KOSPI Market has prescribed a fixed range in which share prices are permitted to move on a daily basis. The KOSPI was 1,914.733,186.1 on April 23, 2020.2021. There is no guarantee that the stock prices of Korean companies will not decline again in the future. Like other securities markets, including those in developed markets, the Korean securities market has experienced problems including market manipulation, insider trading and settlement failures. The recurrence of these or similar problems could have a material adverse effect on the market price and liquidity of the securities of Korean companies, including our common stock and ADSs, in both the domestic and the international markets.
The Korean government has the potential ability to exert substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector business community, and in the past has exerted that influence from time to time. For example, the Korean government has induced mergers to reduce what it considers excess capacity in a particular industry and
has also induced private companies to publicly offer their securities. Similar actions in the future could have the effect of depressing or boosting the Korean securities market, whether or not intended to do so. Accordingly, actions by the government, or the perception that such actions are taking place, may take place or has ceased, may cause sudden movements in the market prices of the securities of Korean companies in the future, which may affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock and ADSs.
If the Korean government deems that emergency circumstances are likely to occur, it may restrict you and the depositary from converting and remitting dividends and other amounts in U.S. dollars.
If the Korean government deems that certain emergency circumstances, including, but not limited to, severe and sudden changes in domestic or overseas economic circumstances, extreme difficulty in stabilizing the balance of payments or implementing currency, exchange rate and other macroeconomic policies, have occurred or are likely to occur, it may impose certain restrictions provided for under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Law, including the suspension of payments or requiring prior approval from governmental authorities for any transaction. See “Item 10.D. Exchange Controls—General.”
Other Risks
You may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against us.
We are a corporation with limited liability organized under the laws of Korea. Substantially allA majority of our directors and officers and other persons named in this annual report reside in Korea, and all or a significant portion of the assets of our directors and officers and other persons named in this annual report and a substantial majority of our assets are located in Korea. As a result, it may not be possible for you to effect service of process within the United States, or to enforce against them or us in the United States judgments obtained in United States courts based on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. There is doubt as to the enforceability in Korea, either in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts, of civil liabilities predicated on the United States federal securities laws.

| Item 4.A. | History and Development of the Company |
Overview
We are a financial holding company that was newly established on January 11, 2019 pursuant to a “comprehensive stock transfer” under Korean law, whereby holders of the common stock of Woori Bank and certain of its subsidiaries transferred all of their shares to us and in return received shares of our common stock. We were established under the Financial Holding Company Act of Korea, which, together with associated regulations and a related Enforcement Decree, enables banks and other financial institutions, including insurance companies, invest trust companies, credit card companies and securities companies, to be organized and managed under the auspices of a single financial holding company. As a result of the stock transfer, Woori Bank and certain of its former wholly-owned subsidiaries, Woori FIS Co., Ltd., Woori Finance Research Institute Co., Ltd., Woori Credit Information Co., Ltd., Woori Fund Services Co., Ltd. and Woori Private Equity Asset Management Co., Ltd., became our direct and wholly-owned subsidiaries. Accordingly, our overall business and operations after the stock transfer, on a consolidated basis, are identical to those of Woori Bank on a consolidated basis immediately prior to the stock transfer.
The stock transfer constituted a succession for purposes of Rule12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such that our common stock was deemed registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act by operation of Rule12g-3(a). Following the stock transfer, we file reports under the Exchange Act as the successor issuer to Woori Bank.
Our legal and commercial name is Woori Financial Group Inc. Our registered office and corporate headquarters are located at 51,Sogong-ro,Jung-gu, Seoul, Korea. Our telephone number is822-2125-2000. Our website address ishttp://www.woorifg.com.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, maintains a website (http://www.sec.gov), which contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.
History
Establishment of Woori Bank
The predecessor of Woori Bank was originally established in 1899 and operated as the Commercial Bank of Korea until 1998, when it was acquired by the KDIC and merged with another commercial bank, Hanil Bank, which had been established in 1932. The surviving entity in the merger was renamed Hanvit Bank, which name was changed to Woori Bank in May 2002.
Establishment of Woori Finance Holdings
In response to a financial and economic downturn in Korea beginning in late 1997, the Korean government announced and implemented a series of comprehensive policy packages to address structural weaknesses in the Korean economy and the financial sector. As part of these measures, on October 1, 1998, the KDIC purchased 95.0% of the outstanding shares of the Commercial Bank of Korea and 95.6% of the outstanding shares of Hanil Bank, and subsequently merged Hanil Bank into the Commercial Bank of Korea (which was renamed Hanvit Bank). These banks had suffered significant losses in 1997 and 1998. The Korean government tookpre-emptive measures to ensure the survival of these and other banks as it believed that bank failures would have a substantial negative impact on the Korean economy.
In December 2000, the Korean government wrote down the capital of Hanvit Bank, as well as Kyongnam Bank, Kwangju Bank and Peace Bank of Korea, to zero. It accomplished this by having the Financial Services Commission issue a capital reduction order with respect to these banks pursuant to its regulatory authority. The Korean government also decided to recapitalize these banks by injecting public funds through the KDIC. In December 2000, the KDIC made initial capital injections to Hanvit Bank (￦2,764 billion), Kyongnam Bank (￦259 billion), Kwangju Bank (￦170 billion) and Peace Bank of Korea (￦273 billion), in return for new shares of those banks. The KDIC also agreed to make additional capital contributions, not involving the issuance of new shares, in the future, which were made in September 2001 to Hanvit Bank (￦1,877 billion), Kyongnam Bank (￦94 billion), Kwangju Bank (￦273 billion) and Peace Bank of Korea (￦339 billion).
In addition, in November 2000, the KDIC established Hanaro Merchant Bank to restructure substantially all of the assets and liabilities of four failed merchant banks (Yeungnam Merchant Banking Corporation, Central Banking Corporation, Korea Merchant Banking Corporation and H&S Investment Bank) that were transferred to it.
In March 2001, the KDIC established Woori Finance Holdings as a new financial holding company and transferred all of the shares in each of Hanvit Bank, Kyongnam Bank, Kwangju Bank, Peace Bank of Korea and Hanaro Merchant Bank held by the KDIC to Woori Finance Holdings in exchange for its newly issued shares. Accordingly, Woori Finance Holdings became the sole owner of those entities. Woori Finance Holdings subsequently listed its common stock on the KRX KOSPI Market in June 2002 and listed ADSs representing its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange in September 2003.
Reorganization and Expansion of Woori Finance Holdings and Woori Bank
Following its establishment and its acquisition of its subsidiaries, Woori Finance Holdings developed a reorganization and integration plan designed to reorganize the corporate structure of some of its subsidiaries and integrate its operations under a single management structure. As part of this plan:
From December 2001 through February 2002, Peace Bank of Korea was restructured by:
splitting off its commercial banking operations and merging them into Woori Bank;
changing the name of Peace Bank of Korea to Woori Credit Card; and
transferring the credit card operations of Woori Bank to Woori Credit Card.
In March 2003, the credit card operations of Kwangju Bank were transferred to Woori Credit Card.
In August 2003, Woori Investment Bank (formerly named Hanaro Merchant Bank) was merged with Woori Bank.
In succeeding years, Woori Finance Holdings and Woori Bank further reorganized and expanded their operations, including through mergers, acquisitions and investments. For example:
In March 2004, Woori Credit Card was merged with Woori Bank.
In October and December 2004, Woori Finance Holdings acquired an aggregate 27.3% voting interest in LG Investment & Securities Co., Ltd., which was subsequently renamed Woori Investment & Securities.
In May 2005, Woori Finance Holdings acquired a 90.0% interest in LG Investment Trust Management Co., Ltd., which was subsequently renamed Woori Asset Management.
In October 2005, Woori Bank established Woori Private Equity as a consolidated subsidiary.
In April 2008, Woori Finance Holdings acquired a 51.0% interest in LIG Life Insurance Co., Ltd., which was subsequently renamed Woori Aviva Life Insurance.
In March 2011, Woori Finance Holdings acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Samhwa Mutual Savings Bank through a newly established subsidiary, Woori FG Savings Bank.
In September 2012, Woori FG Savings Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Solomon Mutual Savings Bank.
In October 2012, Woori Finance Holdings established Woori Finance Research Institute, which engages in economic and finance research, management consulting, and management and sales of intellectual property rights.
In April 2013, Woori Bank effected aspin-off of its credit card business into a newly established wholly-owned subsidiary of Woori Finance Holdings, Woori Card.
In June 2013, through an internal reorganization, Kumho Investment Bank (previously a subsidiary of Woori Private Equity and subsequently renamed Woori Investment Bank), in which Woori Finance Holdings held a 41.6% interest, became its consolidated subsidiary, and ￦70 billion of new capital was injected into such entity.
In January 2014, Woori Bank completed the purchase of an additional 27% equity interest (in addition to the 6% equity interest it previously acquired through its subsidiary PT. Bank Woori Indonesia) in PT. Bank Himpunan Saudara 1906, an Indonesian commercial bank with a network of over 100 branches and offices throughout Indonesia. In December 2014, PT. Bank Woori Indonesia merged with and into PT. Bank Himpunan Saudara 1906. The merged entity, in which Woori Banks holds a 79.9% equity interest, was renamed PT Bank Woori Saudara Indonesia 1906, Tbk and became its consolidated subsidiary.
In October 2016, Woori Bank acquired a 51% equity interest in Wealth Development Bank Corp., a thrift bank in the Philippines with a network of 16 branches and approximately 300 employees.
In November 2016, Woori Bank obtained a banking license to establish a local subsidiary in Vietnam, Woori Bank Vietnam, which commenced operations in January 2017.
In June 2018, Woori Bank acquired VisionFund (Cambodia) Ltd., a microfinance deposit-taking institution in Cambodia, which was renamed WB Finance Co., Ltd. In February 2020, with the approval of the Cambodian financial authorities, Woori Finance (Cambodia) Plc., a microfinance institution, merged with and into WB Finance Co., Ltd.
In November 2018, Woori Bank established a German subsidiary, Woori Bank Europe GmbH, which is headquartered in Frankfurt.
Privatization Plan
In June 2013, the Korean government, through the Public Funds Oversight Committee of the Financial Services Commission, announced an updated plan to privatize Woori Finance Holdings and its former subsidiaries, including Woori Bank. The privatization plan provided for the segregation of such entities into three groups and the disposal of the Korean government’s interest in these entities held through the KDIC in a series of transactions, many of which have been completed.
Spin-off of Kwangju Bank and Kyongnam Bank
In August 2013, the board of directors of Woori Finance Holdings approved a plan to establish two new companies, KJB Financial Group and KNB Financial Group (which we refer to as the New Holdcos), through aspin-off of its businesses related to the holding of the shares and thereby controlling the business operations of Kwangju Bank and Kyongnam Bank, respectively. Thespin-off was approved at an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of Woori Finance Holdings held in January 2014 and was effected in May 2014. After thespin-off, KJB Financial Group owned the shares of Kwangju Bank previously held by Woori Finance Holdings, and KNB Financial Group owned the shares of Kyongnam Bank previously held by Woori Finance Holdings. Woori Finance Holdings no longer owned any shares of Kwangju Bank or Kyongnam Bank, and neither they nor the New Holdcos were its subsidiaries, after thespin-off. Following thespin-off, each of these banks was merged with the relevant New Holdco.
In October 2014, the KDIC sold its 56.97% ownership interest in Kwangju Bank and Kyongnam Bank to JB Financial Group and BS Financial Group, respectively.
Disposal of Woori Financial, Woori Asset Management, Woori F&I, Woori Investment & Securities, Woori Aviva Life Insurance and Woori FG Savings Bank
In March 2014, Woori Finance Holdings sold its 52.0% ownership interest in Woori Financial to KB Financial Group for the sale price of ￦280 billion.
In May 2014, Woori Finance Holdings sold its 100.0% ownership interest in Woori Asset Management to Kiwoom Securities for the sale price of ￦76 billion.
In June 2014, Woori Finance Holdings sold its 100.0% ownership interest in Woori F&I to Daishin Securities for the sale price of ￦368 billion.
In June 2014, Woori Finance Holdings also sold its 37.9% ownership interest in Woori Investment & Securities, its 51.6% ownership interest in Woori Aviva Life Insurance and its 100.0% ownership interest in Woori FG Savings Bank to NongHyup Financial Group Inc. for the sale price of ￦1,039 billion in a collective sale.
Merger of Woori Bank and Woori Finance Holdings
In July 2014, Woori Bank entered into a merger agreement with Woori Finance Holdings, providing for the merger of Woori Finance Holdings with and into Woori Bank. The merger agreement was approved by the
shareholders of Woori Finance Holdings at an extraordinary general meeting held on October 10, 2014. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Woori Finance Holdings merged with and into Woori Bank on November 1, 2014, such that Woori Bank remained as the surviving entity, and Woori Finance Holdings ceased to exist, after the merger.

We are one of the largest financial holding companies in Korea, in terms of consolidated total assets, and our operations include Woori Bank, one of the largest commercial banks in Korea. Our subsidiaries collectively engage in a broad range of businesses, including corporate banking, consumer banking, credit card operations, investment banking, capital markets activities and other businesses. We provide a wide range of products and services to our customers, which mainly comprise small- andmedium-sized enterprises and individuals, as well as some of Korea’s largest corporations.

As one of the leading financial services groups in Korea, we believe our core competitive strengths include the following:
Strong and long standing relationships with corporate customers.Historically our operations concentrated on large corporate customers. As a result, we believe that we have strong relationships with many of Korea’s
leading corporate groups, and we are the main creditor bank to 9 of the 3028 largest Korean corporate borrowers. Further enhancing our corporate loan portfolio is our ability to lend to small- andmedium-sized enterprise customers. As of December 31, 2019,2020, we had 325,749374,973 small- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers.
Large and loyal retail customer base.With respect to our consumer banking operations, we have the second-largestthird-largest deposit base among Korean commercial banks, and over 23.523.8 million retail customers, representing about half of the Korean adult population. Of these customers, over 9.69.8 million are active customers, meaning that they have a deposit account with us with a balance of at least ￦300,000￦300,000 or have a loan account with us.
Extensive distribution and marketing network.We serve our customers primarily through one of the largest banking networks in Korea, comprising 874821 branches and 4,8554,531 ATMs and cash dispensers as of December 31, 2019.Through2020. Through Woori Bank, we also operate 1011 dedicated corporate banking centers and 8192 general managers for our large corporate customers and 909861 relationship managers stationed at 725706 branches (as well as 412280 additionalnon-stationed employees who serve as relationship managers as needed) for our small- andmedium-sized enterprise customers as of December 31, 2019.In2020. In addition, we have Internet and mobile banking platforms to enhance customer convenience, reduce service delivery costs and allow our branch staff to focus on marketing and sales.
Strong capital base. As of December 31, 2019,2020, our consolidated equity totaled ￦25￦27 trillion, and our total capital adequacy ratio was 11.89%.Our13.84%. Our management team at the holding company carefully coordinates the capital and dividend plans of each of our subsidiaries and for the consolidated group to ensure that we optimize our capital position. We believe our strong capital base and coordinated capital management enable us to support growth of our core businesses and to pursue franchise-enhancing initiatives such as selective investments and acquisitions.
Strong and experienced management team.WebenefitWebenefit from our management team’s extensive experience accumulated with our subsidiaries and their predecessors. In January 2019,Tae-Seung Son assumed the role of our representative director, president and chief executive officer, which we believe enhanced the quality of our management team and our corporate governance. We also believe that the extensive experience of many members of our management team in the financial sector will help us to continue to strengthen our operations.
Strategy
We aim to continue to build our position as a comprehensive financial services provider in Korea, with a view to having our business platform and operating structure on par with those of leading global financial institutions. The key elements of our strategy are as follows:
Provide comprehensive financial services and maximize synergies among our subsidiaries through our financial holding company structure.We plan to become a comprehensive financial services provider capable of developing and cross-selling a diverse range of products and services to our large existing base of retail and
corporate banking customers, so that we can more effectively compete with leading domestic and international financial institutions. We believe that the adoption of a financial holding company structure will continue to help us increase customer satisfaction, generate synergies and maximize profitability, by creating an integrated system among our affiliated companies and allowing us to effectively provide various financial services, including comprehensiveone-stop asset management services customized for clients, based on active expansion ofnon-banking and global business operations. One of the intended benefits of our financial holding company structure is that it enhances our ability to engage in mergers and acquisitions which we may decide to pursue as part of our strategy. For example, in an effort to expand our asset management services, in 2019, we acquired (i) a 73% equity interestinterests in Woori Asset Management Corp. from Tongyang Life Insurance Co., Ltd., (ii) Woori Global Asset Management Co. from Anbang Asset Management (Hong Kong) Co., Limited and (iii) a 51% equity interest in Woori Asset Trust Co., Ltd. from its majority shareholdersin 2019 and Woori Bank,Aju Capital Co., Ltd. in 2020, which became our consolidated subsidiaries. We may consider additionally acquiring or merging with other financial institutions, particularly in thenon-banking sector, to achieve more balanced growth and further diversify our revenue base.
In addition, we believe our financial holding company structure gives us a competitive advantage over stand-alone banks and other financial institutions by:
allowing us to offer a more extensive range of financial products and services;
enabling us to share customer information, which is not permitted outside a financial holding company structure, thereby enhancing our risk management and cross-selling capabilities;
enhancing our ability to reduce costs in areas such as back-office processing and procurement;
enabling us to raise and manage capital on a centralized basis.
We aim to maximize the synergies from our diverse financial product and service offerings by cross developing and selling products and encouraging collaboration of operations among our subsidiaries. In particular, we promote collaborative projects across our investment banking, digital, wealth management and global operations.
Further improve our asset quality and strengthen our risk management practices.We wereWoori Bank was one of the earliest and most aggressive banks in Korea to actively reducenon-performing loans through charge-offs and sales to third parties and we havehas taken various measures to facilitate the disposal of ourits substandard or below loans. As a result of these and other initiatives, our ratio ofnon-performing loans to total loans has been declining and was 0.43%0.41% as of December 31, 2019.2020.
One of our highest priorities is to maintain our strong asset quality and enhance our risk management practices on an ongoing basis. We have created a centralized group-wide risk management organization, installed a comprehensive warning and monitoring system, adopted uniform loan loss provisioning policies across all subsidiaries and implemented an advanced credit evaluation system called the “Credit Wizard” at Woori Bank. We plan to undertake a series of group-wide reviews of our credit risk management procedures, as well as our risk management infrastructure, in order to develop and implement various measures to further standardize and improve our risk management procedures and systems.
In addition, we use a value at risk, or “VaR,” monitoring system for managing market risk. We intend to vigorously maintain a manageable risk profile and balance that risk profile with adequate returns. We believe that our continuous focus on upgrading our risk management systems and practices will enable us to maintain our strong asset quality, improve our financial performance and enhance our competitiveness.
Enhance customer profitability through optimization of channel usage, products and services for each customer segment.Our extensive distribution network and wide range of quality products and services has enabled us to serve our customers effectively. However, we intend to further enhance the value proposition to our customers by differentiating products and delivery channels based on the distinct needs of different customer segments.
Retail customers. We have segmentedgenerally segment our retail customers into four groups: high net worth; mass affluent; middle class; and mass market. We believe we are relatively competitive in our core customer base, which includes mass affluent and middle class customers, and we serve these customers via our team of financial planners inthrough our branches who sellby selling customized higher margin services and products, such as investment advice, mutual funds, insurance and personal loans. For our mass market customers, we offer simple,easy-to-understand and relatively more standardized products such as basic deposit and lending products, including mortgage loans,
and we encourage the use of alternative distribution channels such as the Internet, mobile banking and ATMs by our mass market customers such that we can serve them in a cost efficientcost-efficient manner. We serve our high net worth individuals via branches and dedicated private banking centers staffed with experienced private bankers who offer sophisticated tailored financial services. In addition to serving retail customers based on segment, we also offer products and services based on customers’ life cycles to optimize our financial solutions for such customers.
Corporate customers.We continuouslycontinually and vigorously review our portfolio of large corporate and small- andmedium-sized enterprise customers to refine our database of core accounts and industries in terms of profitability potential. We seek to expand our relationship beyond a pure lending relationship by promoting our foreign exchange, factoring, trade finance and investment banking services to our core small- andmedium-sized enterprise customers and cross-selling our investment banking services, derivatives and other risk hedging products, as well as employee retirement products, to our core large corporate customers.
In addition to our customer segment-based marketing strategy, we aim to improve customer loyalty by strengthening customer retention and implementing a customer-focused sales culture and thereby develop a system pursuant to which our growth is facilitated by the growth of our customers.
Diversify our revenue base with a view to reducing our exposure to interest rate cycles and increasing profitability. Currently, in line with the Korean banking industry, we derive a substantial majority of our revenues from our loan and other credit products. To reduce our traditional reliance on lending as a source of revenue and to increase our profitability, we have been seeking to further diversify our earnings base, in particular by focusing onfee-based services, such as foreign exchange, trade finance and derivatives products, investment banking and advisory investment trust services for our corporate customers and asset management and mutual funds, investment trust products and beneficiary certificates, and life andnon-life insurance products for our retail customers.
In addition, we intend to carefully consider potential acquisitions or other strategic investments that fit within our overall strategy. When considering acquisitions, we will focus on opportunities that supplement the range of products and services we offer and strengthen our existing customer base, enable us to maintain our standard for asset quality and profitability and provide us with a reasonable return on our investment. We may also consider acquiring or merging with other financial institutions, particularly in thenon-banking sector, to achieve more balanced growth and further diversify our revenue base.

The digital finance market has recently seen major growth due to the entry of fintech firms and the rapid digital transformations of our competitors, and the recent social distancing trends resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have only accelerated the digitalization of finance.

Through such partnership with Samsung Electronics, in April 2019, we introduced additional services that allow customers to open checking accounts and apply for debit cards from April 2019, and utilize currency exchange services using the Samsung Pay mobile application.application from May 2019.
In April 2019,August 2016, we also launched Digital Innovation Lab, or DinnoLab, which providesa program to discover and provide support to innovative fintech startup companies in Korea, with opportunitiescurrently known as Digital Innovation Lab, or DinnoLab. In October 2019, DinnoLab established an office in Vietnam to test their services through an open application programming interface and Amazon Web Service’s cloud system.support the overseas expansion of such startup companies.

In August 2020, we entered into a memorandum of understanding with KT Corporation to form a joint venture to collaborate on data-based financial services, including a business utilizing MyData, a government initiative for the pooling of customers’ data for the provision of financial services, and in January 2021, the Financial Services Commission granted MyData business licenses to Woori Bank and Woori Card. We expect to provide services utilizing MyData, including personal financial management (PFM) and personal expenditure management (PEM) services.

currently concentrated in Korea.

| • | facilities loans, which are loans to finance the purchase of materials, equipment and facilities, typically with a maturity of three years or more. |
On the deposit-taking side, we currently offer our corporate customers several types of corporate deposit products. These products can be divided into two general categories: demand deposits that have no restrictions on deposits or withdrawals, but which offer a relatively low interest rate; and time deposits from which withdrawals are restricted for a period of time, but offer higher interest rates. We also offer installment deposits, certificates of deposit and repurchase instruments. We offer varying interest rates on our deposit products depending upon the rate of return on our income-earning assets, average funding costs and interest rates offered by other nationwide commercial banks.
Small- andMedium-Sized Enterprise Banking
We use the term “small- andmedium-sized enterprises” as defined in the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises of Korea and related regulations. Under the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises of Korea and related regulations, in order to qualify as a small- andmedium-sized enterprise, (i) the enterprise’s total assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year must be less than ￦500 billion, (ii) the enterprise must meet the average or annual sales revenue standards prescribed by the Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises that are applicable to the enterprise’s primary business, and (iii) the enterprise must meet the standards of management independence from ownership as prescribed by
the Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises. However, pursuant to an amendment to the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises, which will becomebecame effective in June 2020, an enterprise that qualifies as a small- andmedium-sized enterprise pursuant to the above definition shall no longer be considered a small- andmedium-sized enterprise if it is incorporated into, or is deemed to be incorporated into, a business group subject to certain disclosure requirements under the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act. Furthermore, certified social enterprises (as defined in the Social Enterprise Promotion Act of Korea), cooperatives, federations of cooperatives, social cooperatives and federations of social cooperatives (as defined in the Framework Act on Cooperatives), as well as cooperatives, federations and national federations (as defined in the Consumer Cooperatives Act) that satisfy the requirements prescribed by the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises, may also qualify as small- andmedium-sized enterprises. The small- andmedium-sized enterprise segment of the corporate banking market has grown significantly in recent years, including as a result of government measures to encourage lending to these enterprises. As of December 31, 2019, 23.5%2020, 21.5% of our small- andmedium-sized enterprise loans were extended to borrowers in the manufacturing industry, 16.3%16.6% were extended to borrowers in the retail and wholesale industries, and 7.2% were extended to borrowers in the hotel, leisure and transportation industries.
We service our small- andmedium-sized enterprise customers primarilythroughprimarilythrough Woori Bank’s network of branches and small- andmedium-sized enterprise relationship managers. As of December 31, 2019,2020, Woori Bank had stationed one or more relationship managers at 725706 branches, of which 366331 were located in the Seoul metropolitan area.Thearea. The relationship managers specialize in servicing the banking needs of small- andmedium-sized enterprise customers and concentrate their marketing efforts on developing new customers in this segment. As of December 31, 2019,2020, Woori Bank had a total of 909861 small- andmedium-sized enterprise relationship managers stationed at its branches (as well as 412280 non-stationed employees who serve as relationship managers as needed).
In addition to increasing our dedicated staffing and branches, our strategy for this banking segment is to identify promising industry sectors and to develop and market products and services targeted towards customers in these sectors. We have also developedin-house industry specialists who can help us identify leading small- andmedium-sized enterprises in, and develop products and marketing strategies for, these targeted industries. In addition, we operate customer loyalty programs at Woori Bank for our most profitable small- andmedium-sized enterprise customers and provide them with benefits and services such as preferential rates, free seminars and workshops and complementary invitations to cultural events.
Lending Activities.We provide both working capital loans and facilities loans to our small- andmedium-sized enterprise customers. As of December 31, 2019,2020, working capital loans and facilities loans accounted for 43.5%45.3% and 53.3%,52.0% respectively, of our total small- andmedium-sized enterprise loans.Asloans. As of December 31, 2019,2020, we had 325,749374,973 small- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers.
As of December 31, 2019,2020, secured loans and loans guaranteed by a third party accounted for 67.9%80.5% and 5.8%5.2%, respectively, of our small- andmedium-sized enterprise loans. As of December 31, 2019,2020, approximately 76.8%74.3% of the secured loans were secured by real estate and 1.0%0.7% were secured by deposits.Workingdeposits. Working capital loans generally have a maturity of one year, but may be extended on an annual basis for an aggregate term of three to five years if periodic payments are made.years. Facilities loans have a maximum maturity of 1015 years.
When evaluating the extension of working capital loans and facilities loans, we review the creditworthiness and capability to generate cash of the small- andmedium-sized enterprise customer. Furthermore, we take corporate guarantees and credit guarantee letters from other financial institutions and use deposits that the borrower has with us or securities pledged to us as collateral.
The value of any collateral is defined using a formula that takes into account the appraised value of the property, any prior liens or other claims against the property and an adjustment factor based on a number of considerations including, with respect to property, the value of any nearby property sold in a court-supervised auction during the previous five years. We generally revalue any collateral on a periodic basis (every year for real estate (with apartments being revalued every month, subject to the availability of certain specified market
value information), every year for equipment, every month for deposits and every week for stocks listed on a major Korean stock exchange) or if a trigger event occurs with respect to the loan in question.
Pricing.We establish the pricing for our small- andmedium-sized enterprise loan products based principally on transaction risk, our cost of funding and market considerations. Our lending rates are generally determined using our Credit Wizard system. We use our Credit Wizard system to manage our lending activities, and input data gathered from loan application forms, credit scores of borrowers and the appraisal value of collateral provided by external valuation experts into the Credit Wizard system and update such information periodically to reflect changes in such information. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Credit Risk Management—Credit Evaluation and Approval.” We measure transaction risk using factors such as the credit rating assigned to a particular borrower and the value and type of collateral. Our system also takes into account cost factors such as the current market interest rate, opportunity cost and cost of capital, as well as a spread calculated to achieve a target rate of return. Depending on the price and other terms set by competing banks for similar borrowers, we may reduce the interest rate we charge to compete more effectively with other banks. Loan officers have limited discretion in deciding what interest rates to offer, and significant variations require review at higher levels. As of December 31, 2019,2020, approximately 64.5%67.9% of our small- andmedium-sized enterprise loans had interest rates that varied with reference to current market interest rates.
Large Corporate Banking
Our large corporate customers consist of companies that are not “small- andmedium-size enterprises” as defined in the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises of Korea and related regulations, and typically include companies that have assets of ￦12 billion or more and are therefore subject to external audit under the Act on External Audits of Stock Companies. As a result of our history and development, particularly the history of Woori Bank, we remain the main creditor bank to many of Korea’s largest corporate borrowers.
In terms of our outstanding loan balance, as of December 31, 2019, 37.6%2020, 36.8% of our large corporate loans were extended to borrowers in the manufacturing industry, 31.3%36.8% were extended to borrowers in the finance and insurance industries, and 9.0%7.3% were extended to borrowers in the retail and wholesale industries.
We service our large corporate customers primarily through Woori Bank’s network of dedicated corporate banking centers and general managers. Woori Bank operates 1011 dedicated corporate banking centers, all of which are located in the Seoul metropolitan area.Eacharea. Each center is staffed with one or more general managers, and certain centers are headed by a senior general manager. Depending on the center, each such manager is responsible for large corporate customers that either are affiliates of a particularchaebol or operate in a particular industry or region. As of December 31, 2019,2020, Woori Bank had a total of 81 generalmanagers92 generalmanagers who focus on marketing to and managing the accounts of large corporate customers.
Our strategy for the large corporate banking segment is to develop new products and cross-sell our existing products and services to our core base of large corporate customers. In particular, we continue to focus on marketingfee-based products and services such as foreign exchange and trade finance services, derivatives and other risk hedging products, investment banking services and advisory services. We have also been reviewing the credit and risk profiles of our existing customers as well as those of our competitors, with a view to identifying a target group of high-quality customers on whom we can concentrate our marketing efforts. In addition, we are seeking to continue to increase thechaebol-, region- and industry-based specialization of the managers at our dedicated corporate banking centers, including through the operation of a knowledge management database that allows greater sharing of marketing techniques and skills.
Lending Activities. We provide both working capital loans and facilities loans to our large corporate customers. As of December 31, 2019,2020, working capital loans (including domestic usance, bills bought and securities sold under repurchase agreements) and facilities loans accounted for 67.0%70.2% and 18.9%,17.9% respectively, of our total large corporate loans.
Loans to large corporate customers may be secured by real estate or deposits or be unsecured. As of December 31, 2019,2020, secured loans and loans guaranteed by a third party accounted for 17.3%17.2% and 5.3%4.1%, respectively, of our large corporate loans.Sinceloans. Since a relatively low percentage of our large corporate loan portfolio
is secured by collateral, we may be required to establish larger allowances for credit losses with respect to any such loans that becomenon-performing or impaired. See “—Assets and Liabilities—Asset Quality of Loans—Loan Loss Provisioning Policy.” As of December 31, 2019,2020, approximately 58.2%62.9% of the secured loans were secured by real estate and approximately 3.3%2.7% were secured by deposits. Working capital loans generally have a maturity of one year but may be extended on an annual basis for an aggregate term of three to five years. Facilities loans have a maximum maturity of 1015 years.
We evaluate creditworthiness and collateral for our loans to large corporate customers in essentially the same way as we do for loans to small- andmedium-sized enterprise customers. See “—Small- andMedium-Sized Enterprise Banking—Lending Activities.”
Pricing. We determine the pricing of our loans to large corporate customers in the same way that we determine the pricing of our loans to small- andmedium-sized enterprise customers. See “—Small- andMedium-Sized Enterprise Banking—Pricing.” As of December 31, 2019,2020, approximately 79.0%86.9% of these loans had interest rates that varied with reference to current market interest rates.
Consumer Banking
We provide retail banking services to consumers in Korea. Our consumer banking operations consist mainly of lending to and taking deposits from our retail customers. We also provide ancillary services on a fee basis, such as wire transfers. While we have historically attracted and held large amounts of consumer deposits through our extensive branch network, our substantial consumer lending growth occurred principally in recent years, in line with the increase in the overall level of consumer debt in Korea. We provide our consumer banking services primarily through Woori Bank. See “—Branch Network and Other Distribution Channels.”
We classify our consumer banking customers based on their individual net worth and contribution to our consumer banking operations into four groups: high net worth; mass affluent; middle class; and mass market. We
differentiate our products, services and service delivery channels with respect to these segments and target our marketing and cross-selling efforts based on this segmentation. With respect to the high net worth and mass affluent segments, we have established private banking operations to better service customers in these segments. See “—Private Banking Operations.” With respect to the middle class segment, we seek to use our branch-level sales staff to maximize the overall volume of products and services we provide. With respect to the mass market segment, we have focused on increasing our operating efficiency by encouraging customers to migrate tolow-cost alternative service delivery channels, such as the Internet, call centers, mobile banking and ATMs.
Lending Activities
We offer a variety of consumer loan products to households and individuals. We differentiate our product offerings based on a number of factors, including the customer’s age group, the purpose for which the loan is used, collateral requirements and maturity.

Our consumer loans consist of:
| • | general purpose household loans, which are loans made to customers for any purpose (other than mortgage and home equity loans), and include overdraft loans, which are loans extended to customers to cover insufficient funds when they withdraw funds from their demand deposit accounts with us in excess of the amount in such accounts up to a limit established by us; and |
| • | mortgage loans,which are loans made to customers to finance home purchases, construction, improvements or rentals, andhome equity loans, which are loans made to customers secured by their homes to ensure loan repayment. |
For secured loans, including mortgage and home equity loans, we generally lend up to 70% of the collateral value (except in areas of high speculation designated by the government where we generally limit our lending to 40% of the appraised value of collateral) minus the value of any lien or other security interest that is prior to our security interest.Ininterest. In calculating the collateral value for real estate for such secured consumer loans (which principally consists of residential properties), we generally use the fair value of the collateral as appraised by Korea Investors Service which is collated in our Credit Wizard system. We generally revalue collateral on a periodic basis. As of December 31, 2019,2020, the revaluation frequency was every year for real estate (with apartments being revalued every month, subject to the availability of certain specified market value information), every year for equipment, every month for deposits and every week for stocks listed on a major Korean stock exchange.
A borrower’s eligibility for general purpose household loans is primarily determined by such borrower’s creditworthiness. In reviewing a potential borrower’s loan application, we also consider the suitability of the borrower’s proposed use of funds, as well as the borrower’s ability to provide a first-priority mortgage. A borrower’s eligibility for a home equity loan is primarily determined by such borrower’s creditworthiness
(including (including as determined by our internal credit scoring protocols) and the value of the collateral property, as well as any third party guarantees of the borrowed amounts.
We also offer a variety of collective housing loans, including loans to purchase property or finance the construction of housing units, loans to contractors to be used for working capital purposes, and loans to educational institutions andnon-profit entities to finance the construction of dormitories. Collective housing loans subject us to the risk that the housing units will not be sold. As a result, we review the probability of the sale of the housing unit when evaluating the extension of a loan. We also review the borrower’s creditworthiness and the suitability of the borrower’s proposed use of funds. Furthermore, we take a lien on the land on which the housing unit is to be constructed as collateral. If the collateral is not sufficient to cover the loan, we also take a guarantee from the Housing Finance Credit Guarantee Fund as security.
General Purpose Household Loans
Our general purpose household loans may be secured by real estate (other than homes), deposits or securities. As of December 31, 2019,2020, approximately ￦30,982￦32,014 billion, or 75.8%73.0%, of our general purpose household loans were unsecured, although some of these loans were guaranteed by a third party.Overdraftparty. Overdraft loans are primarily unsecured and typically have a maturity between one and three years, and the amount of such loans has been steadily declining. As of December 31, 2019, this amount was approximately ￦26 million.years.
Pricing. The interest rates on our general purpose household loans are either a periodic floating rate (which is based on a base rate determined for three-month,six-month or twelve-month periods, further adjusted to account for the borrower’s credit score and our opportunity cost) or a fixed rate that reflects our internal cost of funding and similar adjustments, but taking into account interest rate risks. In 2010, we began usingWe currently use the “Cost of Fund Index” (or COFIX) benchmark rate, as announced by the Korea Federation of Banks, as the base rate for our general purpose household loans with periodic floating rates in place of the benchmark certificate of deposit rate that we had traditionally used for such purpose.
Our interest rates also incorporate a margin based on, among other things, the type of collateral (if any), priority with respect to any security, our targetloan-to-value ratio and loan duration. We also can adjust the applicable rate based on current or expected profit contribution of the customer. Our lending rates are generally
determined by our Credit Wizard system.Thesystem. The applicable interest rate is determined at the time of the drawdown of the loan. We also charge a termination fee in the event a borrower repays the loan prior to maturity. As of December 31, 2019,2020, approximately 53.6%58.9% of our general purpose household loans had floating interest rates.
Mortgage and Home Equity Lending
We provide customers with a number of mortgage and home equity loan products that have flexible features, including terms, repayment schedules, amounts and eligibility for loans.Theloans. The maximum term of our mortgage and home equity loans is typically 35 years.Mostyears. Most of our mortgage and home equity loans provided prior to January 2016 have an interest-only payment period of 10 years or less.However,less. However, the Korea Federation of Banks’ implementation of its Guidelines on Banks’ Mortgage Loan Screening changed the default interest-only payment period to one year or less, which applies to loans that were originated subsequent to the effective date of the Guidelines in January 2016. With respect to mortgage and home equity loans, we determine the eligibility of borrowers based on the borrower’s personal information, transaction history and credit history using our Credit Wizard system. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Credit Risk Management—Credit Evaluation and Approval.” The eligibility of a borrower that is participating in a housing lottery will depend on proof that it has paid a deposit or can obtain a guarantee from a Korean government-related housing fund.
As of December 31, 2019,2020, approximately 63.9%65.5% of our mortgage and home equity loans were secured by residential or other property, 25.9%25.1% of our mortgage and home equity loans were guaranteed by Korean government-related housing funds and 6.0%3.4% of our mortgage and home equity loans, contrary to general practices in the United States, were unsecured (although the use of proceeds from mortgage and home equity loans is restricted for the purpose of financing home purchases and some of these loans were guaranteed by a
third party).One. One reason that a portion of our mortgage and home equity loans are unsecured is that we, along with other Korean banks, provide advance loans to borrowers for the down payment of new housing (particularly apartments) that is in the process of being built. Once construction is completed, which may take several years, these mortgage and home equity loans become secured by the new housing purchased by these borrowers. As of December 31, 2019,2020, we had issued unsecured construction loans relating to housing where construction was not completed in the amount of ￦4,998 billion.For￦3,197 billion. For the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, the average initialloan-to-value ratio of our mortgage loansandloansand home equity loans was approximately 58.3%54.8% and 45.4%39.2%, respectively, compared to 55.5%58.3% and 45.8%45.4% for the year ended December 31, 2018.The2019.

Pricing. The interest rates for our mortgage and home equity loans are determined on essentially the same basis as our general purpose household loans, except that for mortgage and home equity loans we place significantly greater weight on the value of any collateral that is being provided to secure the loan. The base rate we use in determining the interest rate for our mortgage and home equity loans is identical to the base rate we use to determine pricing for our general purpose household loans. As of December 31, 2019,2020, approximately 50.8%55.8% of our outstanding mortgage and home equity loans had floating interest rates.
Private Banking Operations

Woori Bank also operates an advisory center in Seoul for its private banking clients, which employs 2017 specialists advising on matters of law, tax, real estate, risk assessment and investments.
Deposit-Taking Activities
We are one of the largest deposit holders among Korean banks, in large part due to our nation-wide branch network. The balance of our deposits from retail customers was ￦95,757 billion as of December 31, 2017, ￦95,146 billion as of December 31, 2018, and ￦106,255 billion as of December 31, 2019, and ￦115,835 billion as of December 31, 2020 which constituted 40.8%38.2%, 38.2%40.1% and 40.1%39.7%, respectively, of the balance of our total deposits.
We offer diversified deposit products that target different customers with different needs and characteristics. These deposit products fall into five general categories:
| • | demand deposits, which either do not accrue interest or accrue interest at a lower rate than time, installment or savings deposits. The customer may deposit and withdraw funds at any time and, if the deposits are interest-bearing, they accrue interest at a fixed or variable rate depending on the period and/or amount of deposit; |
| • | time deposits,which generally require a customer to maintain a deposit for a fixed term during which interest accrues at a fixed or floating rate. Early withdrawals require penalty payments. The term for time deposits typically ranges from one month to five years; |
| • | savings deposits, which allow the customer to deposit and withdraw funds at any time and accrue interest at a fixed rate set by us depending upon the period and amount of deposit; |
| • | installment deposits, which generally require the customer to make periodic deposits of a fixed amount over a fixed term during which interest accrues at a fixed rate. Early withdrawals require penalty payment. The term for installment deposits range from six months to five years; and |
| • | certificates of deposit, the maturities of which range from 30 days to five years, with a required minimum deposit of ￦10 |
The following table sets forth the percentage of our total retail and corporate deposits represented by each deposit product category as of December 31, 2019:2020:
Demand Deposits | Time Deposits | Savings Deposits | Installment Deposits | Certificates of Deposit | Time Deposits | Savings Deposits | Installment Deposits | Certificates of Deposit | ||||||||
| 8.62% | 54.97% | 36.04% | 0.01% | 0.36% | ||||||||||||
| 11.13% | 48.88% | 39.27% | 0.01% | 0.71% | ||||||||||||
We offer varying interest rates on our deposit products depending on market interest rates as reflected in average funding costs, the rate of return on our interest-earning assets and the interest rates offered by other commercial banks. Generally, the interest payable is the highest on installment deposits and decreases with certificate of deposit accounts and time deposits and savings deposit accounts receiving relatively less interest, and demand deposits accruing little or no interest.
We also offer deposits in foreign currencies and a specialized deposit product, the apartment application comprehensive deposit, which is a monthly installment comprehensive savings program providing the holder with a preferential right to subscribe for new national housing units constructed under the Housing Act or new privately constructed housing units. This deposit product requires monthly installments of ￦20,000 to ￦500,000, terminates when the holder is selected as a subscriber for a housing unit and accrues interest at variable rates depending on the term.
The Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Korea imposes a reserve requirement on Won currency deposits of commercial banks based generally on the type of deposit instrument. The minimum reserve requirement ratio is 7%.See. See “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Liquidity.” Ongoing regulatory reforms have removed all controls on lending rates and deposit rates (except for the prohibition on interest payments on current account deposits).
The Depositor Protection Act provides for a deposit insurance system where the KDIC guarantees to depositors the repayment of their eligible bank deposits. The deposit insurance system insures up to a total of ￦50 million per depositor per bank. See “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Deposit Insurance System.” We pay a quarterly premium of 0.02% of our average deposits and a quarterly special contribution of 0.025% of our average deposits, in each case for the relevant quarter.Forquarter. For the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, we paid an aggregate of ￦337￦371 billion of such premiums and contributions.
Branch Network and Other Distribution Channels
Woori Bank had a total of 874821 banking branches in Korea as of December 31, 2019,2020, which was one of the most extensive networks of branches among Korean commercial banks.Inbanks. In recent years, demand in Korea for mutual funds and other asset management products as well as bancassurance products has been rising. These products require an extensive sales force and customer interaction to sell, further emphasizing the need for a large branch network. As a result, an extensive branch network is important to attracting and maintaining retail customers, as they generally conduct a significant portion of their financial transactions through bank branches. We believe that our extensive branch network in Korea helps us to maintain our retail customer base, which in turn provides us with a stable and relatively low cost funding source.

Most of our electronic banking transactions do not generate fee income as many of those transactions are free of charge, such as balance inquiries, consultations with customer representatives or transfers of money. This is particularly true for telephone banking services, where a majority of the transactions are balance inquiries or consultations with customer representatives, although other services such as money transfers are also available.
Our automated telephone banking system offers a variety of services, including inter-account fund transfers, balance and transaction inquiries and customer service inquiries. We also operate a call center that handles calls from customers, engages in telemarketing and assists in our collection efforts.
Our Internet banking services include balance and transaction inquiries, money transfers, loan applications, bill payment and foreign exchange transactions. We seek to maintain and increase our Internet banking customer base by focusing largely on our younger customers and those that are able to access the Internet easily (such as office workers) as well as by developing additional Internet-based financial services and products. We also develop new products to target different types of customers with respect to our Internet banking services, and have developed a service that enables private banking customers to access their accounts on a website that provides specialized investment advice. We also offer online escrow services.
In addition, we provide mobile banking services to our customers, which is available to all our Internet-registered users. These services allow our customers to complete selected banking transactions through major Korean telecommunications networks using their smart phones or other mobile devices. In May 2015, we launched the first mobile-only banking service in Korea, called WiBee Bank, andBank. In addition, we provide general mobile banking services through our Woori WON Banking mobile application. We are expanding itsour mobile banking services to Southeast Asia.
We also offer our“Win-CMS” service to corporate customers of Woori Bank, which provides an integrated electronic cash management system andin-house banking platform for such customers.
Credit Cards
We offer credit card products and services mainly to consumers and corporate customers in Korea. In April 2013, as a part of our strategy to enhance our credit card operations and increase its synergies with our other businesses, Woori Bank effected a horizontalspin-off of its credit card business, and the former credit card business of Woori Bank was operated by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Woori Card, until September 2019, when we conducted a “comprehensive stock exchange” under Korean law with Woori Bank, pursuant to which Woori
Card became our direct and wholly-owned subsidiary. See “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company—Establishment of Woori Financial Group—Reorganization and Expansion of Woori Financial Group.”
As of December 31, 2019,2020, Woori Card’s market share based on transaction volume was approximately 8.7%8.5%, which ranked Woori Card as the sixth largest credit card issuer in Korea, according to BC Research, which is a quarterly report issued by BC Card.
Our credit card operations benefit from Woori Card’s ownership of a 7.65% equity stake in BC Card.BCCard. BC Card isco-owned by KT Corporation, which is one of Korea’s largest telecommunications companies, and other Korean financial institutions, and operates the largest merchant payment network in Korea as measured by transaction volume. This ownership stake allows us to outsource production and delivery of new credit cards, the preparation of monthly statements, management of merchants and other ancillary services to BC Card for our credit card operations. In addition, in October 2019, Woori Bank acquired a 20% equity interest in Lotte Card Co., Ltd., the eighth largest credit card issuer in Korea, according to BC Research.
Products and Services
We currently have the following principal brands of credit cards outstanding:
a “Woori” brand;
a “BC Card” brand; and
a “Visa” brand.
We issue “Visa” brand cards under anon-exclusive license agreement with Visa International Service Association and also issue “MasterCard,” “JCB” and “Union Pay” brand cards under anon-exclusive,co-branding agreement with BC Card.
We offer a number of different services to holders of our credit cards. Generally, these services include:
credit purchase services, which allow cardholders to purchase merchandise or services on credit and repay such credit on alump-sum or installment basis;
cash advance services from ATMs and bank branches; and
credit card loans, which are loans that cardholders can obtain based on streamlined application procedures.
Unlike in the United States and many other countries, where most credit cards are revolving cards that allow outstanding balances to be rolled over from month to month so long as a required minimum percentage is repaid, cardholders in Korea are generally required to pay for theirnon-installment purchases as well as cash advances within approximately 15 to 60 days of purchase or advance, depending on their payment cycle.
The following tables set forth certain data relating to the credit card operations of Woori Card (including BC Cards and Visa Cards issued through the BC Card consortium) as of the dates or for the period indicated:

We offer a diverse range of credit card products within our various brands. Factors that determine which type of card a particular cardholder may receive include net worth, age, location, income level and the particular programs or services that may be associated with a particular card. Targeted products that we offer include:
cards that offer additional benefits, such as frequent flyer miles and award program points that can be redeemed for services, products or cash;
gold cards, platinum cards and other preferential members’ cards that have higher credit limits and provide additional services;
corporate and affinity cards that are issued to employees or members of particular companies or organizations; and
revolving credit cards and cards that offer travel services and insurance.
In recent years, credit card issuers in Korea have agreed with selected cardholders to restructure their delinquent credit card account balances as loans that have more gradual repayment terms, in order to retain fundamentally sound customers who are experiencing temporary financial difficulties and to increase the likelihood of eventual recovery on those balances. In line with industry practice, we have restructured a portion of our delinquent credit card account balances as loans. The general qualifications to restructure delinquent credit card balances as loans are that the delinquent amount be more than one month overdue and in excess of ￦1 million. The terms of the restructured loans usually require the payment of approximately 10% to 20% of the outstanding balance as a down payment and that they be guaranteed by a third party and carry higher interest rates than prevailing market rates. These loans are usually required to be repaid by the borrower in installments over terms ranging from three months to 60 months. As of December 31, 2019,2020, the total amount of our restructured loans was ￦165 billion.Because￦131 billion. Because restructured loans are not initially recorded as being delinquent, our delinquency ratios do not fully reflect all delinquent amounts relating to our outstanding credit card balances.
Payments and Charges
Revenues from our credit card operations consist principally of cash advance charges, merchant fees, interest income from credit card loans, interest on late and deferred payments, and annual membership fees paid by cardholders.
Each cardholder is allocated an aggregate credit limit in respect of all cards issued under his or her account and each month. We advise each cardholder of the credit limit relating to the cards in his or her monthly billing statement. Credit limits in respect of card loans are established separately. We conduct ongoing monitoring of all cardholders and accounts, and may reduce the credit limit or cancel an existing cardholder’s card based on current economic conditions, receipt of new negative credit data from third party sources or the cardholder’s score under the credit risk management systems we use to monitor their behavior, even if the cardholder continues to make timely payments in respect of his or her cards. We consider an account delinquent if the payment due is not received on the first monthly payment date on which such payment was due, and late fees are immediately applied. Late fee charges and computation of the delinquency period are based on each outstanding
unpaid transaction or installment, as applicable. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Credit Risk Management—Credit Review and Monitoring.”
Payments on amounts outstanding on our credit cards must be made (at the cardholder’s election at the time of purchase) either in full on each monthly payment date, in the case oflump-sum purchases, or in equal monthly installments over a fixed term from two months to 36 months, in the case of installment purchases. Cardholders may prepay installment purchases at any time without penalty. Payment for cash advances must be made on a lump sum basis. Payments for card loans must be made on an equal principal installment basis over a fixed term from three months up to a maximum of 36 months, up to a maximum loan amount of ￦30 million.
No interest is charged onlump-sum purchases that are paid in full by the monthly payment date. For installment purchases, we charge a fixed rate of interest on the outstanding balance of the transaction amount, based on the installment period selected at the time of purchase. For a new cardholder, we currently apply an interest rate between approximately 9.5% and 20.5% per annum as determined by the cardholder’s application system score. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Credit Risk Management—Credit Evaluation and Approval—Credit Card Approval Process” and “—Credit Review and Monitoring—Credit Card Review and Monitoring.”
For cash advances, finance charges start accruing immediately following the cash withdrawal. We currently charge a periodic finance charge on the outstanding balance of cash advance of approximately 6.4% to 23.8% per annum. The periodic finance charge assessed on such balances is calculated by multiplying the daily installment balances for each day during the billing cycle by the applicable periodic finance charge rate, and aggregating the results for each day in the billing period. In addition to finance charges, cardholders using cash advance networks operated by companies that are not financial institutions (such as Hannet and NICE) are charged a minimum commission of ￦700 and a maximum of ￦900￦1,000 per withdrawal.
We also generally charge a basic annual membership fee up to ￦1,000,000 for our credit cards, which is determined based on various factors including the type of card, and whether affiliation options are selected by the cardholder. For certain cards, such as the Woori V Card, we will waive membership fees if customers charge above a certain amount.
We outsource the management of merchants to BC Card. We charge merchant fees to merchants for processing transactions. Merchant fees vary depending on the type of merchant and the total transaction amounts generated by the merchant. As of December 31, 2019,2020, we charged merchants an average of 1.32%1.35% of their respective total transaction amounts. In addition to merchant fees, we receive nominal interchange fees for international card transactions.

Asset Management
Trust Management Services
Money Trusts.Through Woori Bank, we offer money trust products to our customers and manage the funds they invest in money trusts. The money trusts we manage are generally trusts with a fixed life that allow
investors to share in the investment performance of the trust in proportion to the amount of their investment in the trust. We principally offer the following types of money trust products:
| • | retirement trusts, which invest funds received from corporations or organizations and manage these funds until they are withdrawn to pay retirement funds to a corporation’s officers or employees or an organization’s members; |
| • | pension trusts, which invest funds received until pension benefits are due to be disbursed to a pension beneficiary; and |
| • | specified money trusts, which invest cash received as trust property at the direction of the trustors and, once the trust matures, disburse the principal and any gains to the trust beneficiaries. |
We also offer other types of money trusts that have a variety of differing characteristics with respect to, for example, maturities and tax treatment.
Under Korean law, the assets of our money trusts are segregated from our assets and are not available to satisfy the claims of our creditors. We are, however, permitted to maintain deposits of surplus funds generated by trust assets in certain circumstances as set forth under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and the regulations thereunder. Except for specified money trusts, we have investment discretion over all money trusts, which are pooled and managed jointly for each type of trust. Specified money trusts are established on behalf of individual customers, typically corporations, which direct our investment of trust assets.
We receive fees for our trust management services that are generally based upon a percentage, ranging between 0.01% and 2.0%1.2%, of the net asset value of the assets under management. We also receive penalty payments when customers terminate their trust deposit prior to the original contract maturity. Fees that we received for trust management services (including those fees related to property trust management services, described below, but excluding those fees relating to guaranteed trusts, which are eliminated in consolidation) amounted to ￦142 billion in 2017, ￦177 billion in 2018, and ￦171 billion in 2019.2019 and ￦86 billion in 2020.
For some of the money trusts we manage, we have guaranteed the principal amount of an investor’s investment as well as a fixed rate of interest. We no longer offer new money trust products where we guarantee both the principal amount and a fixed rate of interest. We continue to offer pension-type money trusts that provide a guarantee of the principal amount of an investor’s investment.
The following table shows the balances of our money trusts by type as of the dates indicated. We consolidate within our financial statements trust accounts for which we guarantee both the repayment of the principal amount and a fixed rate of interest and trust accounts for which we guarantee only the repayment of the principal amount, while we do not consolidate performance trusts on which we do not guarantee principal or interest:

If the income from a money trust for which we provide a guarantee is less than the amount of the payments we have guaranteed, we will need to pay the amount of the shortfall with funds from special reserves maintained in our trust accounts, followed by basic fees from that money trust and funds from our banking operations. We net any payments we make as a result of these shortfalls against any gains we receive from other money trusts. No material payments of any such shortfall amounts were made in 2019.2020.

| • | securities funds, where securities (excluding certain securities relating to, among others, real estate, ship investment companies, social infrastructure and overseas resource development) consist of more than 50% of their assets; |

discretion over all investment trusts. Investment trusts calculate the value of their assets as often as required by the relevant laws and regulations, and any change in the overall valuation of their assets will be reflected in the price of their beneficiary certificates. The trust will disburse principal and any return on investment based on the price of their beneficiary certificates at maturity or upon the receipt of a redemption request, as applicable. In addition to investment trust products, we provide our institutional clients with various investment advisory and discretionary asset investment services.

We receive fees for our investment trust management services consisting of management fees in connection with establishing, operating and managing the investment trust, asset management fees and related advisory fees.

Fees accrue on a daily basis and are paid out as expenses periodically. Fees from our investment trust management services amounted to ￦9￦17 billion in 2019.2020.
Although our current customer base consists mainly of institutional investors, we have been seeking to market our investment trust products to retail customers through our consumer banking network. We believe that significant opportunities exist for us to leverage our existing base of consumer banking customers to cross-sell our investment trust products. We intend to focus on the development of new products tailored to particular customer segments and the enhancement of sales and distribution capabilities through each of our marketing channels to meet our customers’ needs.

Other Businesses
Management of National Housing and Urban Fund
In April 2008, through Woori Bank, we were selected to be the lead manager of the National Housing and Urban Fund.TheFund. The National Housing and Urban Fund provides financial support tolow-income households in
Korea by providing mortgage financing and construction loans for projects to build small- andmedium-sized housing. As of December 31, 2019,2020, outstanding housing loans from the National Housing and Urban Fund amounted to approximately ￦116.5￦122.5 trillion, of which we originated approximately ￦62.9 trillion.The￦66.7 trillion. The activities of the National Housing and Urban Fund are funded primarily by the issuance of national housing bonds, which must be purchased by persons and legal entities wishing to make real estate-related registrations and filings, and by subscription savings deposits held at the National Housing and Urban Fund.
In return for managing the operations of the National Housing and Urban Fund, we receive a monthly fee. This fee consists of a fund raising fee, a loan origination fee and a management fee. The fund raising fee is based on the number of National Housing and Urban Fund subscription savings deposit accounts opened and the level of activity for existing accounts and the number of National Housing and Urban Fund bonds issued or redeemed. The loan origination fee is based on the number of new National Housing and Urban Fund loans and the number of National Housing and Urban Fund mortgage loans to contractors constructing housing units that are assumed by the individual buyers of housing units and the level of activity for existing loans during each month. The management fee is based on the monthly average of the number of outstanding accounts and the monthly average of the number of overdue loans owed to the National Housing and Urban Fund.WeFund. We received total fees of approximately ￦48.5￦48.3 billion for managing the National Housing and Urban Fund in 2019.2020.
Bancassurance
The term “bancassurance” refers to the marketing and sale by commercial banks of insurance products manufactured within a group of affiliated companies or by third-party insurance companies. Through Woori Bank, we market a wide range of bancassurance products. In 2019,2020, we generated fee income of approximately ￦86.6￦84.2 billion through the marketing of bancassurance products.Weproducts. We believe that we will be able to continue to develop an important new source offee-based revenues by expanding our offering of these products. We have entered into bancassurance marketing arrangements with 30 insurance companies, including TongYang Life Insurance, Hanwha Life Insurance, Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance, Hyundai Fire and Marine Insurance and American International Assurance,and plan to enter into additional insurance product marketing arrangements with other leading insurance companies whose names and reputation are likely to be familiar to our customer base.
Private Equity
In 2016, Woori Private Equity Co., Ltd., which was established in October 2005, registered as a specialized private placement collective investment business under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and changed its name to Woori Private Equity Asset Management Co., Ltd., or Woori PEAM. Such registration enabled it to manage specialized private placement collective investment vehicles (which include hedge funds) targeting professional investors, in addition to its existing business of making long-term and strategic investments in buyout target companies and actively involving itself in their management. In 2018 and 2019, Woori PEAM launched three private equity funds for which it acted as general partner, Woori-Hanwha Eureka Private Equity Fund, the size of which was approximately ￦43.5 billion, Woori-ShinyoungGrowth-Cap Private Equity Fund I, the size of which was approximately ￦163 billion, andWoori-Q Corporate Restructuring Private Equity Fund, the size of which was approximately ￦155 billion. As of December 31, 2019,2020, Woori PEAM managed a total of 1517 alternative investment funds (other than the three private equity funds mentioned above) with total investments of ￦1.1￦1.4 trillion and total managed assets of ￦678.8￦791 billion. We expect that Woori PEAM will continue to provide us with investment opportunities, through identifying potential investees suffering from inefficient management and effecting financial restructuring and strategic reorientation in those investees so as to enhance their enterprise value, as well as serve as a source of business for other segments by managing specialized private placement collective investment vehicles for professional investors.
Competition
We compete with other financial institutions in Korea, including principally nationwide and regional Korean commercial banks and branches of foreign banks operating in Korea. In addition, in particular segments such as credit cards, asset management and bancassurance, we compete with specialized financial institutions focusing
on such segments. Some of the financial institutions we compete with are larger in terms of asset size and customer base and have greater financial resources or more specialized capabilities than us or our subsidiaries.
Competition in the Korean financial market has been and is likely to remain intense. In particular, in the area of our core banking operations, most Korean banks have been focusing on retail customers and small- andmedium-sized enterprises in recent years, although they have begun to increase their exposure to large corporate
borrowers, and have been focusing on developing fee income businesses, including bancassurance, as increasingly important sources of revenue. In the area of credit cards, Korean banks and credit card companies have in the past engaged in aggressive marketing activities and made significant investments, contributing to some extent to lower profitability and asset quality problems previously experienced with respect to credit card receivables.
In addition, the following general regulatory reforms in the Korean financial industry have increased competition among banks and other financial institutions in Korea:
In the second half of 2015, the Korean government implemented measures to facilitate bank account portability of retail customers by requiring commercial banks to establish systems that allow retail customers to easily switch their bank accounts at one commercial bank to another and automatically transfer the automatic payment settings of their former accounts to the new ones.
In March 2016, the Financial Services Commission introduced an individual savings account scheme in Korea, which enables individuals to efficiently manage a wide range of retail investment vehicles, including cash deposits, investment funds and securities investment products, from a single integrated account with one financial institution and offers tax benefits on investment returns. Since the scheme backed by the Korean government allows only one individual savings account per person, financial institutions have been competing to retain existing customers and attract new customers since the launch of the individual savings account scheme. Over 30 financial institutions, including banks, securities companies and insurance companies, have registered with the Financial Services Commission to sell their individual savings account products.products, and we expect fierce competition among these institutions.
In April 2019, the Financial Services Commission approved and is currently conducting test procedures for a financial regulatory sandbox, a framework set up to allow financial service providers to test new business models in a less regulated environment, as part of its efforts to work closely with the fintech sector and provide support to facilitate its development. In May 2019, we introduced a “drive-thru money exchangeWe plan to implement several new innovative financial services through such financial regulatory sandbox, such as Woori Card’s non-resident foreigner services for international wire transfers and withdrawal service” that is expected to allow our customers to exchange currencies and make withdrawals at drive-thru locations without having to visit a bank, which was approved by the Financial Services Commission for testingcredit card rent payments, in the financial regulatory sandbox. In November 2019, we entered into an agreement with Shinsaegae Duty Free to provide foreign exchange drive-thru services on weekends, when banks are generally closed.third quarter of 2021. Over 80130 financial services have been similarly approved for such testing.testing under the financial regulatory sandbox.
In December 2019, the Financial Services Commission launched an “open banking” system, which allows customers to view banking account information, regardless of institution, through a single mobile application. Such integrated system is expected to allow fintech firms to share payment networks with banks, thereby cuttinglowering transaction fees and encouraging the development of new payment services.
In August 2020, amendments to the Credit Information Use and Protection Act established the framework for MyData services in Korea, which allow the collection of customers’ personal credit information from credit information providers/users or public institutions upon the customer’s request and subject to compliance requirements, so that customers may access such collected personal credit information in whole or in part. In January 2021, the Financial Services Commission granted licenses to 28 companies to operate as MyData service providers, 14 of which were fintech firms. We expect competition between traditional financial institutions and fintech firms to intensify, particularly with respect to asset management services, as MyData services are expected to expand in the second half of 2021.
Overall, such measures tomay not only intensify competition among traditional financial institutions in Korea.Korea, but also allow new market participants such as fintech firms to potentially gain market share in certain areas in which we operate.
Furthermore, the introduction of Internet-only banks in Korea is expected to increase competition in the Korean banking industry. Internet-only banks generally operate without branches and conduct most of their operations through electronic means, which enable them to minimize costs and offer customers higher interest rates on deposits or lower lending rates. In April 2017, K bank, the first Internet-only bank in Korea, in which
Woori Bank owns 13.8%19.9% of the equity with voting rights, commenced operations.operations, and in July 2017, Kakao Bank, a mobile-only bank, commenced operations in July 2017.operations. In December 2019, Toss Bank was granted aobtained preliminary license by the Financial Services Commissionapproval to operate as an Internet-only bank from the Financial Services Commission and is expected to begin operations in July 2021 upon receivingbe granted final approval from the Financial Services Commission.by June 2021.
Moreover, the Korean financial industry is undergoing significant consolidation through which the number of nationwide commercial banks in Korea has significantly decreased since the financial crisis in Korea in the late 1990s. A number of significant mergers and acquisitions in the financial industry have also taken place in Korea in recent years, including Hana Financial Group’s acquisition of a controlling interest in Korea Exchange Bank in 2012, the subsequent merger of Hana Bank into Korea Exchange Bank in 2015, KB Financial Group’s acquisition of Hyundai Securities Co., Ltd. in 2016 and the subsequent merger of Hyundai Securities with and into KB Investment & Securities Co., Ltd. in 2016. In 2016, Mirae Asset Securities Co., Ltd. acquired a 43% interest in KDB Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd., which subsequently merged with and into Mirae Asset Securities to create Mirae Asset Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd., the largest securities company in Korea in terms of capital. In 2014, pursuant to the implementation of the Korean government’s privatization plan with respect to Woori Finance Holdings and its former subsidiaries, Woori Financial, Woori Asset Management and Woori F&I were acquired by KB Financial Group, Kiwoom Securities and Daishin Securities, respectively, and Woori Investment & Securities, Woori Aviva Life Insurance and Woori FG Savings Bank were acquired by NongHyup Financial Group. In addition, in October 2014, the KDIC’s ownership interest in Kwangju Bank and Kyongnam Bank were acquired by JB Financial Group and BS Financial Group, respectively. See “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company—Privatization Plan.” Furthermore, Orange Life Insurance, Ltd. (formerly known as ING Life Insurance Korea, Ltd.) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shinhan Financial Group following the acquisition of equity interests by Shinhan Financial Group in February 2019 and January 2020. Furthermore, in 2020, Hana Financial Group acquired The-K Non-Life Insurance Co., Ltd. to form Hana Insurance Co., Ltd., KB Financial Group acquired The Prudential Life Insurance Company of Korea Ltd., and Shinhan Financial Group acquired the venture capital firm Neoplux.
We expect that consolidation in the Korean financial industry will continue. Other financial institutions may seek to acquire or merge with other entities, and the financial institutions resulting from this consolidation may, by virtue of their increased size and business scope, provide significantly greater competition for us. We also believe that foreign financial institutions, many of which have greater experience and resources than we do, may seek to compete with us in providing financial products and services either by themselves or in partnership with existing Korean financial institutions. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks relating to competition.”

A significant portion of our loans with maturities of one year is renewed annually. We typically roll over our working capital loans and consumer loans (other than those payable in installments) after we conduct our normal loan review in accordance with our loan review procedures. Under our internal guidelines, we may generally extend working capital loans on an annual basis for an aggregate term of five years.Thoseyears. Those guidelines also allow us to generally extend consumer loans other than home equity loans for another term on an annual basis for an aggregate term of up to five years (and home equity loans for an aggregate term of up to 10 years).

Asset Quality of Loans
Except where we specify otherwise, all loan amounts stated below do not include amounts due from banks and other receivables and are prior to deducting allowance for credit losses and present value discount or reflecting deferred origination costs, and all corporate loan amounts stated below include loans made to the Korean government and government-owned agencies and banks.
Loan Classifications
The Financial Services Commission generally requires Korean financial institutions to analyze and classify their assets by quality into one of five categories for reporting purposes. In making these classifications, we take into account a number of factors, including the financial position, profitability and transaction history of the borrower, and the value of any collateral or guarantee taken as security for the extension of credit. This classification method, and our related provisioning policy, is intended to fully reflect the borrower’s capacity to repay.
The following is a summary of the asset classification criteria we apply for corporate and consumer loans, based on the asset classification guidelines of the Financial Services Commission. Credit card receivables are subject to classification based on the number of days past due, as required by the Financial Services Commission. We also apply different criteria for other types of credits such as loans to the Korean government or to government-related or controlled entities, certain bills of exchange and certain receivables.
Asset Classification | Characteristics | |
Normal | Credits extended to customers that, based on our consideration of their business, financial position and future cash flows, do not raise concerns regarding their ability to repay the credits. | |
Precautionary | Credits extended to customers that:
• based on our consideration of their business, financial position and future cash flows, show potential risks with respect to their ability to repay the credits, although showing no immediate default risk; or
• are in arrears for one month or more but less than three months. | |
Asset Classification | Characteristics | |
Substandard | Either:
• credits extended to customers that, based on our consideration of their business, financial position and future cash flows, are judged to have incurred considerable default risks as their ability to repay has deteriorated; or
• the portion that we expect to collect of total loans (1) extended to customers that have been in arrears for three months or more, (2) extended to customers that have incurred serious default risks due to the occurrence of, among other things, final refusal to pay their debt instruments, entry into liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings, or closure of their businesses, or (3) extended to customers who have outstanding loans that are classified as “doubtful” or “estimated loss.” | |
Doubtful | Credits exceeding the amount we expect to collect of total credits to customers that:
• based on our consideration of their business, financial position and future cash flows, have incurred serious default risks due to noticeable deterioration in their ability to repay; or
• have been in arrears for three months or more but less than 12 months. | |
Estimated Loss | Credits exceeding the amount we expect to collect of total credits to customers that:
• based on our consideration of their business, financial position and future cash flows, are judged to have to be accounted as a loss as the inability to repay became certain due to serious deterioration in their ability to repay;
• have been in arrears for 12 months or more; or
• have incurred serious risks of default in repayment due to the occurrence of, among other things, final refusal to pay their debt instruments, liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings or closure of their business. | |
Loan Loss Provisioning Policy
Under IFRS 9Financial Instruments, which replaced IAS 39, for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2018, we establish allowances for credit losses based on expected credit losses instead of incurred losses (as was the case under IAS 39) by assessing changes in expected credit losses and recognizing such changes as impairment loss (or reversal of impairment loss) in profit or loss. Under IFRS 9, the allowance required to be established with respect to a loan or financial asset is the amount of the expected12-month credit loss or the expected lifetime credit loss for the applicable loan or financial asset, according to three stages of credit risk deterioration since initial recognition.
For financial reporting periods starting prior to January 1, 2018, under IAS 39Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, we established allowances for credit losses with respect to loans using either acase-by-case or collective approach. We assessed individually significant loans on acase-by-case basis and other loans on a collective basis. In addition, if we determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for a loan, we included such loan in a group of loans with similar credit risk characteristics and assessed them collectively for impairment regardless of whether such loan is significant. If there was objective evidence that an impairment loss had been incurred for individually significant loans, the amount of the loss was measured as the difference between the financial asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at such asset’s original effective interest rate. Future cash flows were estimated through acase-by-case analysis of individually assessed assets, which took into account the benefit of any guarantee or other collateral held. The value and timing of future cash flow receipts were based on available estimates in conjunction with facts available at the time of review and reassessed on a periodic basis as new information became available.
Under IAS 39, for collectively assessed loans, we based the level of allowance for credit losses on a portfolio basis in light of the homogenous nature of the assets included in each portfolio. The allowances were determined based on a quantitative review of the relevant portfolio, taking into account such factors as the level of arrears, the value of any security, and historical and projected cash recovery trends over the recovery period. The methodologies we used to estimate collectively assessed allowances reflected the probability that the performing customer would default, our historical loss experience (as adjusted by current economic and credit conditions where appropriate) and the emergence period between an impairment event occurring and a loan being identified and reported as impaired.
If additions or changes to the allowance for credit losses are required, then we record provisions for credit loss, which are included in impairment losses due to credit loss and treated as charges against current income. Credit exposures that we deem to be uncollectible, including actual loan losses, net of recoveries of previouslycharged-off amounts, are charged directly against the allowance for credit losses. See “Item 5.A. Operating Results—Critical Accounting Policies—Impairment of Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses.”
We conclude that a loan is impaired when it is under one of the following conditions:
when the principal is past due by 90 days or more due to significant deterioration in credit;
for loans overdue for less than 90 days, when it is determined that not even a portion of the loan will be recovered unless a claim action, such as disposal of collateral, is taken; or
when other objective indicators of impairment have been noted for the loan.
In addition, if our allowance for credit losses is deemed insufficient for regulatory purposes, we compensate for the difference by recording a planned regulatory reserve for credit loss, which is segregated within our retained earnings. The level of planned regulatory reserve for credit loss required to be recorded is equal to the amount by which our allowance for credit losses under IFRS is less than the greater of (x) the amount of expected loss calculated using the internal ratings-based approach under Basel II and as approved by the Financial Supervisory Service and (y) the required amount of credit loss reserve calculated based on guidelines prescribed by the Financial Services Commission. The following table sets forth the Financial Services Commission’s guidelines applicable to banking institutions for the minimum percentages of the outstanding principal amount of the relevant loans or balances that the credit loss reserve must cover:

| (1) | Subject to certain exceptions pursuant to the Banking Industry Supervision Regulations of Korea. |
| (2) | Applicable for credit card receivables for general purchases of products or services. |
| (3) | Applicable for cash advances, card loans and revolving loan receivables. |
The process to determine the allowances foroff-balance sheet positions under IFRS is similar to the methodology used for loans. Any loss amounts are recognized as a provision in the consolidated statements of financial position within liabilities and charged to the consolidated statement of income as a component of the impairment losses due to credit loss.
The actual amount of credit losses we incur may differ from our loss estimates as a result of changing economic conditions, changes in industry or geographic concentrations, or other factors. We monitor the differences between our estimated and actual incurred credit losses, and we undertake detailed periodic assessments of both individual loans and credit portfolios, the models we use to estimate incurred credit losses in those portfolios and the adequacy of our overall allowances.
Problem Loans and Past Due Accruing Loans
We monitor and manage our “problem loans” by generally placing loans on “problem loan” status when payments of interest and/or principal become past due by 90 days. In addition, the following types of loans are classified as problem loans by us even if such loans are not past due:
Loans to creditors with dishonored notes or checks;
Loans for which interest payments are reduced or postponed (e.g., throughwork-out procedures or debt restructurings); and
Loans to creditors included in the “watch list” maintained by the Korea Federation of Banks.
We reclassify loans asnon-problem loans when interest and principal payments areup-to-date and future payments of principal and interest are reasonably assured. In applying payments on problem loans, we first apply payments to the delinquent interest outstanding, then tonon-delinquent interest, and then to the outstanding loan balance until the loan is paid in full.
Foregone interest is the portion of the contractual interest due on problem loans that we have not accrued in our books. If we had not foregone interest on our problem loans, we would have recorded gross interest income of ￦74 billion, ￦61 billion, and ￦60 billion and ￦63 billion for 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2019,2020 respectively, on loans accounted for as problem loans throughout the year, or since origination for loans held for part of the year.Theyear. The actual amount of interest income on those loans included in our net income for 2017, 2018 and 2019 was ￦34 billion, ￦34￦39 billion and ￦39￦28 billion, respectively.
The category “accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest” includes loans that are still accruing interest based on the contractual rate of interest but on which principal or interest payments are contractually past due 90 days or more. We continue to accrue contractual interest on loans that are fully secured by deposits or on which there are financial guarantees from the Korean government, the KDIC or certain financial institutions.
The following table shows, as of the dates indicated, the amount of loans that were problem loans and accruing loans which were past due 90 days or more:

Credit Exposures to Companies in Workout, Restructuring or Rehabilitation
Workout is a voluntary procedure through which we, together with the borrower and other creditors, seek to restore the borrower’s financial stability and viability. Previously, workouts were regulated under a series of Corporate Restructuring Promotion Acts, which last expired on June 30, 2018. In September 2018, the National Assembly of Korea adopted a new Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act, which became effective on October 16, 2018 and is scheduled to expire on October 15, 2023. Under the new Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act, creditors of a financially troubled borrower may participate in a creditors’ committee, which is authorized to prohibit such creditors from exercising their rights against the borrower, commence workout procedures and approve or make revisions to a reorganization plan prepared by the lead creditor bank, the borrower and external experts. The composition of the creditors’ committee is determined at the initial meeting of the committee by the approval of creditors holding not less than 75% of the borrower’s total outstanding debt held by creditors who were notified of the initial meeting of the committee. Although creditors that are not financial institutions or hold less than 1% of the total outstanding debt of the borrower need not be notified of the initial meeting of the creditors’ committee, if such creditors wish to participate, they may not be excluded. Any decision of the creditors’ committee requires the approval of creditors holding not less than 75% of the total outstanding debt of the borrower. However, if a single creditor holds 75% or more of the borrower’s total outstanding debt held by the creditors comprising the creditors’ committee, any decision of the creditors’ committee requires the approval of not less than 40% of the total number of creditors (including such single creditor) comprising the committee. An additional approval of creditors holding not less than 75% of the secured debt is required with respect to the borrower’s debt restructuring. Once approved, any decision made by the creditors’ committee is binding on all creditors of the borrower, with the exception of those creditors that were
excluded by a resolution of the committee at its initial meeting and those who exercised their right to request that
their claims be purchased. Creditors that voted against commencement of workout, approval or revision of the reorganization plan, debt restructuring, granting of new credit, extension of the joint management process or other resolutions of the committee have the right to request the creditors that voted in favor of such matters to purchase their claims at a mutually agreed price. In the event that the parties are not able to agree on the terms of purchase, a coordination committee consisting of experts would determine the terms. The creditors that oppose a decision made by the coordination committee may request a court to change such decision.
Korean law also provides for corporate rehabilitation proceedings, which are court-supervised procedures to rehabilitate an insolvent company. Under these procedures, a restructuring plan is adopted at a meeting of interested parties, including creditors of the company. That restructuring plan is subject to court approval.
A portion of our loans to and debt securities of corporate customers are currently in workout, restructuring or rehabilitation. As of December 31, 2019, ￦1852020, ￦125 billion, or 0.06%0.03%, of our total loans and debt securities were in workout, restructuring or rehabilitation.Thisrehabilitation. This included ￦97￦17 billion of loans to and debt securities of large corporate borrowers in workout, restructuring or rehabilitation and ￦87￦98 billion of loans to and debt securities of small- andmedium-sized enterprises in workout, restructuring or rehabilitation, which represented 0.03%0.00% and 0.03% of our total loans and debt securities, respectively.Atrespectively. At Woori Bank, the Corporate Restoration Department manages its workout, restructured and rehabilitated loans. Upon approval of a workout, restructuring or rehabilitation plan, a credit exposure is initially classified as precautionary or lower and thereafter cannot be classified higher than precautionary with limited exceptions. If a corporate borrower is in workout, restructuring or rehabilitation, we take the status of the borrower into account in assessing our loans to and collateral from that borrower for purposes of establishing our allowance for credit losses.
The following table shows, as of December 31, 2019,2020, our 10 largest exposures that were in workout, restructuring or rehabilitation:

Non-performing loans include commercial and consumer loans which are past due by 90 days or more. In addition,non-performing loans include those loans that, even if they are not past due, are classified as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “estimated loss” based on the Financial Services Commission’s asset classification criteria. Moreover, when a consumer loan borrower has any loans that are classified as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “estimated loss” under such criteria, all loans to such borrower are classified asnon-performing loans.

Non-Performing Loans and Impaired Loans
The term“non-performing loan” is used for our asset quality management in accordance with the Banking Industry Supervision Regulations of Korea, whereas the term “impaired loan” is used for financial reporting purposes based on our internal accounting policies in accordance with IFRS 9 (or IAS 39 for periods prior to 2018).
Major differences betweennon-performing loans and impaired loans are as follows:
Item | Non-performing loans | Impaired loans | ||
| Relevant regulation or accounting principle | Banking Industry Supervision Regulations of Korea (loans classified as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “estimated loss”) | Our internal policy based on IFRS 9 (or IAS 39) | ||
| Scope | Loans | Loans (not including due from banks and other financial assets) under IFRS 9 (or loans and receivables (including due from banks and other receivables) under IAS 39) | ||
| Purchased impaired loans | Not included | Included | ||
| Loans classified as “precautionary” based on the Financial Services Commission’s asset classification criteria | Not included | Loans classified as “precautionary,” for which the borrower has a capital deficit or its auditor’s opinion on its financial statements is modified or qualified, are included | ||

Non-Performing Loan Strategy
One of our goals is to improve our asset quality, in part by reducing ournon-performing loans. We have standardized the credit risk management systems of our subsidiaries to reduce our risks relating to futurenon-performing loans. Our credit rating systems are designed to prevent our subsidiaries from extending new loans to high-risk borrowers as determined by their credit rating. Our credit monitoring systems are designed to bring any sudden increase in a borrower’s credit risk to the attention of our subsidiaries, which then closely monitor such loans. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Credit Risk Management.”
Each of our subsidiaries has one or more units that are responsible for managingnon-performing loans. At Woori Bank, for example, the Credit Management and Collection Department and the Corporate Restoration Department generally oversee the process for resolvingnon-performing loans transferred to them by other Woori Bank business units. We believe that by centralizing the management of ournon-performing loans within each subsidiary, we can become more effective in dealing with the issues relating to these loans by pooling institutional knowledge and creating a more specialized workforce.
When a loan becomesnon-performing, we will begin a due diligence review of the borrower’s assets, send a notice demanding payment or stating that we will take legal action, and prepare for legal action. At the same time, we initiate ournon-performing loan management process, which begins with:
identifying loans subject to a proposed sale by assessing the estimated losses from such sale based on the estimated recovery value of collateral, if any, for suchnon-performing loans;
identifying loans subject tocharge-off based on the estimated recovery value of collateral, if any, for suchnon-performing loans and the estimated rate of recovery of unsecured loans; and
on a limited basis, identifying corporate loans subject to normalization efforts based on the cash-flow situation of the borrower.
Once we have confirmed the details of anon-performing loan, we make efforts to recover amounts owed to us. Methods for resolvingnon-performing loans include the following:
commencing collection proceedings;
commencing legal actions to seize collateral;
writing off these amounts, transferring them to specific subsidiaries in charge of collections and authorizing those subsidiaries to recover what they can with respect to these amounts or to sell these loans to third parties; and
with respect to large corporations, commencing or participating in voluntary workouts or restructurings mandated by Korean courts.
In addition to making efforts to collect on ournon-performing loans, we also undertake measures to reduce the overall level of ournon-performing loans. These measures include:
selling ournon-performing loans to structured companies established in connection with our joint ventures with several financial institutions; and
selling ournon-performing loans to third parties, including UAMCO.parties.
See “—Sales ofNon-Performing Loans.” We generally expect to suffer a partial loss on loans that we sell or securitize, to the extent such sales and securitizations are recognized as such under IFRS.
Foreclosure and Collateral. We generally foreclose on mortgages or exercise our security interests in respect of other collateral if a collateralized obligation becomes overdue for more than three months. At that time, we will petition a court to foreclose on collateral and to sell that collateral through a court-supervised auction. Under Korean law, that petition must be filed with a court that has jurisdiction over the mortgaged property, and must be filed together with a copy of the mortgage agreement and an extract of the court registry regarding the subject property. The court will then issue an order to commence the foreclosure auction, which will be registered in the court registry of the subject property. If no bidder bids at least the minimum amount set by the court on the first auction date, the court will set another date for a subsequent auction approximately one month later. Each time a new auction date is set, the minimum auction price will be lowered by approximately 20%. Unlike laws relating to foreclosure in the United States, Korean law does not provide fornon-judicial foreclosure. During 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2019,2020, we held collateral with respect to loan balances overdue for more than three months representing approximately 0.1%, 0.1% and 0.1%, respectively, of our interest-bearing loan balances in each of those periods.
Korean financial institutions, including us, maintain general policies to assess a potential customer’s eligibility for loans based on that entity’s credit quality, rather than requiring a particular level of collateral, especially in the case of large corporate borrowers. As a result, the ratio of our collateral tonon-performing corporate loans is relatively low when compared with our total exposures. For secured consumer loans, however, we generally impose limits on loan amounts based on the collateral we receive. See “—Consumer Banking—Lending Activities.”
We reflect this collateral level when we estimate the future cash flow for our loans, which we calculate using a discounted cash flow method. With respect to loans to borrowers that we do not believe will be going concerns in the future, the lower collateral ratio has a direct effect on cash flow estimates and results in a higher level of allowances. With respect to loans to borrowers that we expect to be going concerns, the lower collateral ratio has an effect on cash flow estimates but we also consider other factors, including future operating income and future asset disposals and restructuring, in determining allowance levels. Accordingly, for these latter borrowers, the effect of lower collateral levels on allowances is mitigated by other characteristics of the borrower, and that lower collateral level will not necessarily result in a higher level of allowances.

The overall asset quality of our loan portfolio is affected by sales ofnon-performing loans. These sales have been made primarily to UAMCO and various structured companies as further described below.

| (3) | Includes ￦5 million of sales to Korea Asset Management Corporation in 2018, which may be subject to repurchase by us. |
United Asset Management Corp. UAMCO was established in late 2009 in the wake of the global financial crisis by six major commercial banks in Korea, including Woori Bank, to purchase, sell and securitizenon-performing loans and to engage in corporate restructuring activities, among other things. Currently, Woori Bank and six other banks each hold a 14% equity interest in UAMCO, while one other bank holds a 2% equity interest. Woori Bank has committed to contribute approximately ￦142 billion of capital to UAMCO, of which approximately ￦87 billion has been contributed to date. Upon the fulfillment of such capital contribution commitments from Woori Bank and the seven other banks, UAMCO may request a loan from the seven banks holding a 14% equity interest in UAMCO, which includes Woori Bank, of up to a combined ￦2 trillion, upon which such seven banks must use their best efforts to fulfill such request pro rata to their ownership interests. Therefore, we have neither control nor significant influence over UAMCO.
Pursuant to a memorandum of understanding among the Financial Services Commission and seven banks, including Woori Bank, a private equity fund was established in June 2011 to acquire approximately ￦1.2 trillion ofnon-performing bank loans to construction companies in workout, restructuring or rehabilitation. The general partner of the fund is UAMCO and the limited partners consist of the seven banks and other investors. The fund purchasesnon-performing bank loans at market price and the funds required to purchase such loans are contributed or lent by the same banks that sell such loans to the fund. In June 2011, Woori Bank agreed to make a capital commitment of ￦148 billion and provide a ￦109 billion revolving loan facility to the fund. From June to December 2011, Woori Bank contributed the entire amount of its capital commitment to the fund in connection with its purchase of ￦443 billion ofnon-performing loans from Woori Bank. In 2012, Woori Bank made an additional capital contribution of ￦44 billion to the fund in connection with its purchase of ￦44 billion ofnon-performing loans from Woori Bank. We have determined that we have significant influence over the private equity fund.
Under the terms of our sale of loans to UAMCO and the private equity fund, we are not required to repurchase any such loans, provide post-sale price adjustments or otherwise continue to be involved with such loans subsequent to their sale in any material respect. In addition, UAMCO and the private equity fund have the practical ability to sellnon-performing loans in their entirety to unrelated third parties and are able to exercise such ability unilaterally without the need to impose additional restrictions, notwithstanding our ownership interest. Therefore, we believe we have not retained control over the transferred assets, andnon-performing loans sold to UAMCO in 2017, 2018 and 2019 were derecognized in accordance with IAS 39 or IFRS 9, as applicable.
Structured companies. We transfernon-performing loans to structured companies, of which we do not have control over the significant operations. Most of the structured companies are investment funds that specialize in acquiringnon-performing loans from Korean financial institutions, including us. In addition, we have not provided any financial guarantees or credit facilities nor invested in any such investment funds. As such, we believe that we have transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of the relevantnon-performing loans to the structured companies and have derecognized allnon-performing loans that were transferred to structured companies in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
Others. In addition to sales of loans to UAMCO and various structured companies, we sellnon-performing loans to various private investment companies. Pursuant to the terms of such sales to private investment companies, we are not required to repurchase any such loans, provide post-sale price adjustments or otherwise continue to be involved with such loans subsequent to their sale in any material respect.

Loan Charge-Offs
The credit approval process we have implemented includes assessing credit risk before extending loans and monitoring outstanding loans, in order to minimize loans that must be charged off. To the extent charge-offs are required, we followcharge-off policies aimed at maximizing accounting transparency, minimizing any waste of resources in managing loans which have a low probability of being collected and reducing ournon-performing loan ratio.
Loans To Be Charged Off. We charge off loans that are deemed to be uncollectible by virtue of their falling under any of the following categories:
loans for which collection is not foreseeable due to insolvency, bankruptcy, compulsory execution, disorganization, dissolution or the shutting down of the business of the debtor;
loans for which collection is not foreseeable due to the death or disappearance of the debtor;
loans for which expenses of collection exceed the collectable amount;
loans on which collection is not possible through legal or any other means;
payments in arrears in respect of credit cards (excluding credit card loans) that are overdue for more than six months;
payments outstanding on corporate and consumer loans that are overdue for more than 12 months; or
the portion of loans classified as estimated loss, net of any recovery from collateral, which is deemed to be uncollectible.
Procedure forCharge-off Approval. In order to charge off corporate loans, in the case of Woori Bank, an application for acharge-off must be submitted by a branch to the Credit Management and Collection Department promptly and, in any event, within one month after the corporate loan is classified as estimated loss. The department evaluates and approves the application. Then, Woori Bank must seek an approval from the Financial Supervisory Service for its charge-offs, which is typically granted. At the same time, Woori Bank refers the approval of thecharge-off by the Credit Management and Collection Department to its Audit Committee for review to ensure compliance with its internal procedures for charge-offs, which include consultations with the branch submitting thecharge-off application. Once Woori Bank receives approval from the Financial Supervisory Service, Woori Bank must also obtain approval from its senior management to charge off those loans.
With respect to consumer loans and credit card balances, we follow a different process to determine which consumer loans and credit card balances should be charged off, based on the length of time those loans or balances are past due. We charge off consumer loans which are 12 months overdue and credit card balances which are six months overdue and have been classified as estimated loss.
Treatment of Loans Charged Off. Once loans are charged off, we classify them ascharged-off loans. In the case of Woori Bank, these loans are then transferred to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Woori Credit Information, which is in charge of collections. It will attempt to recover amounts owed or to sell these loans to third parties.
In the case of collateralized loans, our general policy is to petition a court to foreclose and sell the collateral through a court-supervised auction if a collateralized loan becomes overdue for more than three months. If a debtor still fails to repay and the court grants its approval for foreclosure, we will sell the collateral and recover the principal amount and interest accrued up to the amount of the proceeds from such sale, net of expenses incurred for the sale.
Credit Rehabilitation Programs for Delinquent Consumer Borrowers
In light of the rapid increase in delinquencies in credit card and other consumer credit in recent years, and concerns regarding potential social issues posed by the growing number of individuals with bad credit, the Korean government has implemented a number of measures intended to support the rehabilitation of the credit of
delinquent consumer borrowers. These measures may affect the amount and timing of our collections and recoveries on our delinquent consumer credits.
In 2002, the Financial Services Commission established the Credit Counseling and Recovery Service based upon an agreement among approximately 160 financial institutions in Korea. Upon application to the Credit Counseling and Recovery Service and approval by creditor financial institutions representing a majority of the outstanding unsecured debt andtwo-thirds of the outstanding secured debt, a qualified “credit delinquent person” with outstanding debts to two or more financial institutions in an aggregate amount not exceeding ￦500 million may participate in an individualwork-out program designed to restructure such person’s debt and rehabilitate such person’s credit. The aggregate amount of loans of Woori Bank which became subject to such individualwork-out programs in 20192020 was ￦88.2￦109 billion. In 2019,2020, Woori Bank recovered approximately ￦8.9￦10 billion with respect to its loans subject to such individualwork-out programs.
Under the Korean Debtor Recovery and Bankruptcy Law, a qualified individual debtor with outstanding debts in an aggregate amount not exceeding threshold amounts of ￦500 million of unsecured debt and/or ￦1 billion of secured debt may restructure his or her debts through a court-supervised debt restructuring that is binding on creditors. The aggregate amount of loans of Woori Bank which became subject to such court-supervised debt restructuring in 20192020 was ￦330.6￦355 billion. In 2019,2020, Woori Bank recovered ￦48.6￦54 billion with respect to its loans subject to such court-supervised debt restructuring.
In September 2008, to support consumer borrowers with low credit scores, the Financial Services Commission established the Credit Rehabilitation Fund to purchase from creditors the loans of such borrowers that are in default and to provide guarantees so that such loans may be refinanced at lower rates. The Credit Rehabilitation Fund provides support to (i) individuals with low credit scores who are in default on loans not exceeding ￦50 million in principal amount in the aggregate (which requirement will be waived for individuals who are “basic living welfare recipients”) for a period of three months or more and (ii) individuals with low credit scores ranging from category 6 to 10who10who are in default on loans not exceeding ￦30 million in principal amount in the aggregate (which requirement will be waived for individuals who are basic living welfare recipients) and the interest rate of which is 30% or more.
In March 2009, the Financial Services Commission requested Korean banks, including Woori Bank, to establish a“pre-workout program,” including a credit counseling and recovery service, for retail borrowers with outstanding short-term debt. Under the pre-workout program, maturity extensions and/or interest rate adjustments are provided to retail borrowers with total loans of less than ￦1.5 billion (consisting of no more than ￦500 million of unsecured loans and ￦1 billion of secured loans) who are in arrears on their payments for more than 30 days but less than 90 days. The aggregate amount of consumer credit Woori Bank provided which became subject to thepre-workout program in 20192020 was ￦43.7￦49 billion. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks relating to our consumer credit portfolio—We may experience increases in delinquencies in our consumer loan and credit card portfolios.”
Securities Investment Portfolio
Investment Policy
We invest in and tradeWon-denominated securities and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency-denominated securities for our own account to:
maintain asset stability and diversification;
maintain adequate sources ofback-up liquidity to match funding requirements; and
supplement income from core lending activities.
In making securities investments, we take into account a number of factors, including external broker analyses and internal assessments of macroeconomic trends, industry analysis, credit evaluation, maturity and trading history in determining whether to make a particular investment.
Our investments in debt securities include primarily bonds issued by government-related entities, as well as corporate bonds that have been guaranteed by banks (other than merchant banks), government-related funds or privately capitalized funds that we consider to have a low credit risk.
Our securities investments are subject to various regulations, including limitations prescribed under the Financial Holding Company Act and the Bank Act. Under these regulations, a financial holding company may not own (i) more than 5% of the total issued and outstanding shares of another finance-related company, (ii) any shares of its affiliates, other than its direct or indirect subsidiaries, or (iii) any shares of anon-finance-related company. In addition, a bank must limit its investments in equity securities and bonds with a maturity in excess of three years (other than monetary stabilization bonds issued by the Bank of Korea and Korean government bonds) to 100% of the sum of its total Tier I and Tier II capital amount (less any capital deductions). A bank is also generally prohibited from acquiring more than 15% of the shares with voting rights issued by any other corporation, subject to certain exceptions. Pursuant to the Bank Act, a bank and its trust accounts are prohibited from acquiring the shares of a major shareholder (for the definition of “major shareholder,” see “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Financial Exposure to Any Individual Customer or Major Shareholder”) of that bank in excess of an amount equal to 1% of the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions). Further information on the regulatory environment governing our investment activities is set out in “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies—Liquidity,” “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies—Restrictions on Shareholdings in Other Companies,” “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Liquidity” and “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Restrictions on Shareholdings in Other Companies.”
Our investments in foreign currencies are subject to certain limits and restrictions specified in our internal guidelines relating to country exposure, a single issuer and type of security exposure, and total investments by individual business groups.

Funding
We fund our lending and other activities using various sources, both domestic and foreign. Our primary funding strategy is to maintain stable andlow-cost funding. We have in the past achieved this in part by increasing the average balances oflow-cost customer deposits, in particular demand deposits and savings deposits.
Customer deposits are our principal funding source. Customer deposits accounted for 82.7% of our total funding as of December 31, 2017, 82.7% 2018, 83.0%of our total funding as of December 31, 20182019 and 83.0%82.2% of our total funding as of December 31, 2019.2020.
We also acquire funding through the following sources:
long-term debt, including the issuance of senior and subordinated debentures and borrowings from government-affiliated funds and entities and other financial institutions;
short-term borrowings, including borrowings from our trust accounts and from the Bank of Korea, and call money; and
the issuance of hybrid securities, including bond-type hybrid securities.
As of December 31, 2019,2020, approximately 87.1%87.8% of our total funding was denominated in Won.
Deposits
Although the majority of our deposits are short-term, it has been our experience that the majority of our depositors generally roll over their deposits at maturity, providing us with a stable source of funding. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Other risks relating to our business—Our funding is highly dependent on short-term deposits, which dependence may adversely affect our operations.” The following table shows the average balances of our deposits and the average costs of our deposits for the periods indicated:

| (1) | Average balances are based on daily balances for Woori Bank and on quarterly balances for all of our other subsidiaries and our structured companies. |
| (2) | Mutual installment deposits are interest-bearing deposits offered by us, which enable customers to become eligible to apply for loans secured by such deposits while they maintain an account with us. In order to qualify to apply for such a loan, a customer must make required periodic deposits to the mutual installment account for a contracted term of less than five years. Any such loan will be secured in an amount up to the holder’s mutual installment deposit and will be subject to the same loan underwriting policy we apply for other secured loans. For the portion of the loan, if any, that is not secured, we apply the same loan underwriting policy as we would for other unsecured loans. |

Supervision and Regulation
Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies
General
The Financial Holding Company Act, last amended on December 31, 2018, regulates Korean financial holding companies and their subsidiaries. The entities that regulate and supervise Korean financial holding companies and their subsidiaries are the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service.
The Financial Services Commission exerts direct control over financial holding companies pursuant to the Financial Holding Company Act. Among other things, the Financial Services Commission approves the establishment of financial holding companies, issues regulations on the capital adequacy of financial holding companies and their subsidiaries, and drafts regulations relating to the supervision of financial holding companies.
Following the instructions and directives of the Financial Services Commission, the Financial Supervisory Service supervises and examines financial holding companies and their subsidiaries. In particular, the Financial Supervisory Service sets requirements relating to Korean financial holding companies’ liquidity and capital adequacy ratios and establishes reporting requirements within the authority delegated under the Financial Services Commission regulations. Financial holding companies must submit quarterly reports to the Financial Supervisory Service discussing business performance, financial status and other matters identified in the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Holding Company Act.
Under the Financial Holding Company Act, a financial holding company is a company which primarily engages in controlling its subsidiaries by holding equity stakes in them equal in aggregate to at least 50% of the financial holding company’s aggregate assets based on its balance sheet as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year. A company is required to obtain approval from the Financial Services Commission to become a financial holding company.
A financial holding company may engage only in controlling the management of its subsidiaries, as well as certain ancillary activities including:
financially supporting its direct and indirect subsidiaries;
raising capital necessary for investment in its subsidiaries or providing financial support to its direct and indirect subsidiaries;
supporting the business of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including the development and marketing of financial products;
providing data processing, legal, accounting and other resources and services that have been commissioned by its direct and indirect subsidiaries so as to support their operations; and
any other businesses exempted from authorization, permission or approval under the applicable laws and regulations.
The Financial Holding Company Act requires every financial holding company (other than a financial holding company that is controlled by another financial holding company) and its subsidiaries to obtain prior approval from the Financial Services Commission before acquiring control of another company or to file a report with the Financial Services Commission within 30 days thereafter in certain cases (including acquiring control of another company whose assets are less than ￦100 billion as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year). In addition, the Financial Services Commission must grant permission to liquidate or to merge with any other company before the liquidation or merger. A financial holding company must report to the Financial Services Commission when certain events, including the following, occur:
when the largest shareholder changes;
in the case of a bank holding company, when a major investor changes;
when the shareholding of the controlling shareholder (i.e., the “largest shareholder” or a “principal shareholder,” each as defined in the Financial Holding Company Act) or a person who has a “special relationship” with such controlling shareholder (as defined in the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Holding Company Act) changes by 1% or more of the total issued and outstanding voting shares of the financial holding company;
when it changes its corporate name;
when there is a cause for its dissolution; and
when it or its subsidiaries cease to control any of their respective direct or indirect subsidiaries by disposing of their shares of such direct or indirect subsidiary.
Capital Adequacy
The Financial Holding Company Act does not provide for a minimumpaid-in capital requirement related to financial holding companies. However, all financial holding companies are required to maintain a specified level of solvency.

In addition, Korean banks are subject to the regulations and supervision of the Bank of Korea, the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Korea, the Financial Services Commission and its executive body, the Financial Supervisory Service.
The Bank of Korea, established in June 1950 under the Bank of Korea Act, performs the customary functions of a central bank. It seeks to contribute to the sound development of the national economy by price stabilization through establishing and implementing efficient monetary and credit policies with a focus on financial stability. The Bank of Korea acts under instructions of the Monetary Policy Committee, the supreme policy-making body of the Bank of Korea.
Under the Bank of Korea Act, the Monetary Policy Committee’s primary responsibilities are to formulate monetary and credit policies and to determine the operations, management and administration of the Bank of Korea.
The Financial Services Commission, established in April 1998, regulates commercial banks pursuant to the Bank Act, including establishing guidelines on capital adequacy of commercial banks, and promulgates regulations relating to supervision of banks. Furthermore, the Financial Services Commission regulates market entry into the banking business.
The Financial Supervisory Service, established in January 1999, is subject to the instructions and directives of the Financial Services Commission and carries out supervision and examination of commercial banks. In particular, the Financial Supervisory Service sets requirements both for the prudent control of liquidity and for capital adequacy and establishes reporting requirements pursuant to the authority delegated to it under the Financial Services Commission regulations, pursuant to which banks are required to submit annual reports on financial performance and shareholdings, regular reports on management strategy andnon-performing loans, including write-offs, and management of problem companies and plans for the settlement of bad loans.
Under the Bank Act, approval to commence a commercial banking business or a long-term financing business must be obtained from the Financial Services Commission. Commercial banking business is defined as the lending of funds acquired predominantly from the acceptance of demand deposits for a period not exceeding one year or subject to the limitation established by the Financial Services Commission, for a period between one year and three years. Long-term financing business is defined as the lending, for periods in excess of one year, of funds acquired predominantly frompaid-in capital, reserves or other retained earnings, the acceptance of time deposits with maturities of at least one year, or the issuance of debentures or other bonds. A bank wishing to enter into any business other than commercial banking and long-term financing businesses, such as a trust business, must obtain approval fromfile a report to the Financial Services Commission. Approval to merge with any other banking institution, to liquidate, spin off, or close a banking business or to transfer all or a part of a business must also be obtained from the Financial Services Commission.

admonitions or warnings with respect to its officers;
capital increases or reductions;
assignments of contractual rights and obligations relating to financial transactions;

stock cancellations or consolidations;
mergers with other financial institutions;
acquisition of such bank by a third party; and/or
suspensions of a part or all of its business operations for not more than six months.
Capital Adequacy
The Bank Act requires nationwide banks, such as us, to maintain a minimumpaid-in capital of ￦100￦100 billion and regional banks to maintain a minimumpaid-in capital of ￦25￦25 billion. All banks, including foreign bank branches in Korea, are also required to maintain a prescribed solvency position. A bank must also set aside in its legal reserve an amount equal to at least 10% of the net income after tax each time it pays dividends on net profits earned until its legal reserve reaches at least the aggregate amount of itspaid-in capital.
Under the Detailed Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business, the capital of a bank is divided into two categories, Tier I and Tier II capital. Tier I capital (core capital) consists of (i) common equity Tier I
capital, includingpaid-in capital, capital surplus and retained earnings related to common equity and accumulated other comprehensive gains and losses, and (ii) additional Tier I capital, includingpaid-in capital and capital surplus related to hybrid Tier I capital instruments that, among other things, qualify as contingent capital and are subordinated to subordinated debt. Tier II capital (supplementary capital) consists of, among other things, capital and capital surplus from the issuance of Tier II capital instruments, allowances for loan losses on loans classified as “normal” or “precautionary,” subordinated debt and other capital securities which meet the standards prescribed by the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service under Article 26(2) of the Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business.
All banks must meet minimum ratios of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) to risk-weighted assets, determined in accordance with Financial Services Commission requirements that have been formulated based on BIS standards. These requirements were adopted and became effective in 1996, and were amended effective January 1, 2008 upon the implementation by the Financial Supervisory Service of Basel II. Under such requirements, all domestic banks and foreign bank branches are required to meet a minimum ratio of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. Commencing in July 2013, the Financial Services Commission promulgated a series of amended regulations implementing Basel III, pursuant to which Korean banks and bank holding companies were required to maintain a minimum ratio of common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 3.5% and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% from December 1, 2013, which minimum ratios were increased to 4.0% and 5.5%, respectively, from January 1, 2014 and increased further to 4.5% and 6.0%, respectively, from January 1, 2015. Such requirements are in addition to the pre-existing requirement for a minimum ratio of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, which remains unchanged. The amended regulations also require an additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% in 20192020 and 2020,2021, as well as a potential counter-cyclical capital buffer of up to 2.5%, which is determined on a quarterly basis by the Financial Services Commission. Furthermore, Woori Bank was designated as a domestic systemically important bank for 2019 by the Financial Services Commission and was subject to an additional capital requirement of 1.0% in 2019.In June 2019, we and Woori Bank were each designated as a domestic systemically important bank holding company and a domestic systematically important bank for 2020 by the Financial Services Commission and was subject to an additional capital requirement of 1.0% in 2020. In June 2020, we and Woori Bank were again each designated as a domestic systemically important bank holding company and a domestic systemically important bank, respectively, for 2020,2021, which subjects us and Woori Bank to the additional capital requirement of 1.0% in 2020.2021.
Under the Detailed Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business, the following risk-weight ratios must be applied by Korean banks in respect of home mortgage loans:
| (1) | for those banks which adopted a standardized approach for calculating credit risk capital requirements, a risk-weight ratio of 35% (only in the case where the loan is fully secured by a first ranking mortgage) and, with respect to high-risk home mortgage loans, 50% or 70%; and |
| (2) | for those banks which adopted an internal ratings-based approach for calculating credit risk capital requirements, a risk-weight ratio calculated with reference to the probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default, each as defined under the Detailed Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business. |
Liquidity
All banks are required to ensure adequate liquidity by matching the maturities of their assets and liabilities in accordance with the Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business. Banks may not invest an amount exceeding 100% of their Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) in equity securities and certain other securities with a redemption period of over three years. This stipulation does not apply to Korean government bonds, Monetary Stabilization Bonds issued by the Bank of Korea or debentures and stocks referred to in items 1 and 2, respectively, of paragraph (6) of Article 11 of the Act on the Structural Improvement of the Structure of the Financial Industry. The Financial Services Commission uses the liquidity coverage ratio as the principal liquidity risk management measure, and currently requires each Korean bank to:
maintain a liquidity coverage ratio (defined as the ratio of highly liquid assets to total net cash outflows over a30-day period) of not less than 100%;
maintain a foreign currency liquidity coverage ratio of not less than 80% (temporarily reduced to 70% for the three months ending May 30, 2020 for purposes of increasing foreign currency liquidity in the Korean financial markets); and
submit monthly reports with respect to the maintenance of these ratios.
In April 2020, in order to encourage financial institutions to provide financial support to companies adversely affected by COVID-19, the Financial Services Commission announced that it would temporarily lower the required liquidity coverage ratio to 85% and the required foreign currency liquidity coverage ratio to 70%. Following a series of extensions by the Financial Services Commission, these temporary deregulation measures are currently scheduled to expire at the end of September 2021, which may be subject to change.
The Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Korea is empowered to fix and alter minimum reserve requirements that banks must maintain against their deposit liabilities. The current minimum reserve ratios are:
7% of average balances for Won currency demand deposits outstanding;
0% of average balances for Won currency employee asset establishment savings deposits, employee long-term savings deposits, employee house purchase savings deposits, long-term house purchase savings deposits, household long-term savings deposits and employee preferential savings deposits outstanding (with respect to employee-related deposits and long-term household savings deposits, only if such deposits were made prior to February 28, 2013); and

a shareholder holding (together with persons who have a special relationship with that shareholder) in excess of 10%; (or 15% in the case of regional banks) in the aggregate of the bank’s total issued and outstanding voting shares; or
| • | a shareholder holding (together with persons who have a special relationship with such shareholder) in excess of 4% in the aggregate of the bank’s (excluding regional banks) total issued and outstanding voting shares of a bank (excluding shares subject to the shareholding restrictions on “non-financial business group companies” as described below), where such shareholder is the largest shareholder or has actual control over the major business affairs of the bank through, for example, appointment and dismissal of the officers pursuant to the Enforcement Decree of the Bank Act. Non-financial business group companies primarily consist of: (i) any single shareholding group whose non-financial company assets comprise no less than 25% of its aggregate net assets; (ii) any single shareholding group whose non-financial company assets comprise no less than |

Under these restrictions, banks may not extend credits to a major shareholder (together with persons who have a special relationship with that shareholder) in an amount greater than the lesser of (x) 25% of the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) and (y) the relevant major shareholder’s shareholding ratio multiplied by the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions). In addition, the total sum of credits granted to all major shareholders must not exceed 25% of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions).
Interest Rates
Korean banks generally depend on deposits as their primary funding source. Under the Act on Registration of Credit Business, Etc. and Protection of Finance Users and the regulations thereunder, interest rates on loans made by registered banks in Korea to individuals or small corporations, as defined under the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises, currently may not exceed 24% per annum. An amendment to regulations on loans that reduces the maximum interest rate that may be charged from 24% to 20% is expected to become effective in July 2021. Historically, interest rates on deposits and lending were regulated by the Monetary Policy Committee. There are no controls on deposit interest rates in Korea, except for the prohibition on interest payments on current account deposits.
Lending to Small- andMedium-Sized Enterprises
In order to obtain funding from the Bank of Korea at concessionary rates for their small- andmedium-sized enterprise loans, banks are required to allocate a certain minimum percentage of any quarterly increase in their Won currency lending to small- andmedium-sized enterprises. Currently, this minimum percentage is 45% in the case of nationwide banks and 60% in the case of regional banks. If a bank does not comply with this requirement, the Bank of Korea may:
require the bank to prepay all or a portion of funds provided to that bank in support of loans to small- andmedium-sized enterprises; or
lower the bank’s credit limit.
Disclosure of Management Performance
For the purpose of protecting depositors and investors in commercial banks, the Financial Services Commission requires commercial banks to publicly disclose certain material matters, including:
financial condition and profit and loss of the bank and its subsidiaries;
fund raising by the bank and the appropriation of such funds;
any sanctions levied on the bank under the Bank Act or any corrective measures or sanctions under the LawAct on the Structural Improvement of Structure ofthe Financial Industry; and

Such amendmentThe Bank Act grants an exception fornon-financial business group companies which, at the time of the enactment of the amended provisions, held more than 4% of the shares of a bank.
In addition, if a foreign investor, as defined in the Foreign Investment Promotion Act, owns in excess of 4% of a nationwide bank’s outstanding voting shares,non-financial business group companies may acquire beneficial ownership of up to 10% (or 15% in the case of a regional bank) of that bank’s outstanding voting shares, and in excess of 10% (or 15% in the case of a regional bank), 25% or 33% of that bank’s outstanding voting shares with the approval of the Financial Services Commission, in each instance, up to the number of shares owned by the foreign investor.

The Depositor Protection Act provides insurance for certain deposits of banks in Korea through a deposit insurance system. Under the Depositor Protection Act, all banks governed by the Bank Act are required to pay an insurance premium to the KDIC on a quarterly basis, and the rate is determined under the Enforcement Decree to the Depositor Protection Act. If the KDIC makes a payment on an insured amount, it will acquire the depositors’ claims with respect to that payment amount. The KDIC insures a maximum of ￦50￦50 million per individual for deposits and interest in a single financial institution, regardless of when the deposits were made and the size of the deposits.

Financial Services Commission to enter the securities business, which is governed by regulations under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. Under these laws, a bank may engage in the foreign exchange business, securities repurchase business, governmental/public bond underwriting business and governmental bond dealing business.
Regulations on Trust Business
A bank must obtain approval from the Financial Services Commission to engage in trust businesses. The Trust Act and the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act govern the trust activities of banks, and they are subject to various legal and accounting procedures and requirements, including the following:
under the Trust Act, assets accepted in trust by a bank in Korea must be segregated from other assets in the accounts of that bank; and
depositors and other general creditors cannot obtain or assert claims against the assets comprising the trust accounts in the event the bank is liquidated orwound-up.
The bank must make a special reserve of 25% or more of fees from each unspecified money trust account for which a bank guarantees the principal amount and a fixed rate of interest until the total reserve for that account equals 5% of the trust amount. Since January 1999, the Korean government has prohibited Korean banks from offering new guaranteed fixed rate trust account products whose principal and interest are guaranteed.
Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, which became effective in February 2009, a bank with a trust business license (such as Woori Bank) is permitted to offer both specified money trust account products and unspecified money trust account products. Previously, banks were not permittedHowever, pursuant to offerguidelines from regulatory authorities that discourage the sale of unspecified money trust account products, pursuant to the Indirect Investment Asset Management Act, which is no longer in effect following the effectiveness of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. Due to the changes in applicable regulations, new sales of pension saving trusts, a form of unspecified money trust account product,such products have generally been suspended starting in January 2018. Transactions involving existing pension saving trusts, however, are still permitted.suspended.
Regulations on Credit Card Business
General
In order to enter the credit card business, a company must obtain a license from the Financial Services Commission. Credit card businesses are governed by the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, which sets forth specific requirements with respect to the credit card business as well as generally prohibiting unsound business practices relating to the credit card business which may infringe on the rights of credit card holders or negatively affect the soundness of the credit card industry. Credit card companies, including our wholly-owned subsidiary, Woori Card, are regulated by the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service.
Disclosure and Reports
Under the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act and the regulations thereunder, a credit card company is required to disclose on a periodic andon-going basis certain material matters and events. In addition, a credit card company must submit periodic reports with respect to its results of operations to the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service, in accordance with the guidelines of the Financial Supervisory Service.
Restrictions on Funding
Under the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act and the regulations thereunder, a credit card company must ensure that its total assets do not exceed an amount equal to sixeight times its equity capital and that the ratio of
its adjusted equity capital to its adjusted total assets is not less than 8.0%. However, if a credit card company is unable to comply with such limit upon the occurrence of unavoidable events, such as drastic changes in the domestic and global financial markets, such limit may be adjusted through a resolution of the Financial Services Commission.
Risk of Loss Due to Lost, Stolen, Forged or Altered Credit Cards
Under the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, a credit card company is liable for any loss arising from the unauthorized use of credit cards or debit cards after it has received notice from the holder of the loss or
theft of the card. A credit card company is also responsible for any losses resulting from the use of forged or altered credit cards, debit cards andpre-paid cards. A credit card company may, however, transfer all or part of this latter risk of loss to holders of credit card in the event of willful misconduct or gross negligence by holders of credit card if the terms and conditions of the agreement entered between the credit card company and members of such cards specifically provide for that transfer.
For these purposes, disclosure of a customer’s password that is made intentionally or through gross negligence, or the transfer of or giving as collateral of the credit card or debit card, is considered willful misconduct or gross negligence. However, a disclosure of a cardholder’s password that is made under irresistible force or threat to cardholder or his/her relatives’ life or health will not be deemed as willful misconduct or negligence of the cardholder.
Each credit card company must institute appropriate measures to fulfill these obligations, such as establishing provisions, purchasing insurance or joining a cooperative association.
Pursuant to the Enforcement Decree to the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, a credit card company will be liable for any losses arising from loss or theft of a credit card (which was not from the holder’s willful misconduct or negligence) during the period beginning 60 days before the notice by the holder to the credit card company.
Pursuant to the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, the Financial Services Commission may either restrict the limit or take other necessary measures against the credit card company with respect to such matters as the maximum limits on the amount per credit card, details of credit card terms and conditions, management of credit card merchants and collection of claims, including the following:
maximum limits for cash advances on credit cards;
use restrictions on debit cards with respect to per day or per transaction usage;
aggregate issuance limits and maximum limits on the amount per card onpre-paid cards; and
other matters prescribed by the Enforcement Decree to the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act.
Lending Ratio in Ancillary Business
Pursuant to the Enforcement Decree to the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, a credit card company must maintain an aggregate quarterly average outstanding lending balance to credit cardholders (including cash advances and credit card loans, but excluding restructured loans) no greater than the sum of (i) its aggregate quarterly average outstanding credit card balance arising from the purchase of goods and services and (ii) the aggregate quarterly debit card transaction volume.
Issuance of New Cards and Solicitation of New Cardholders
The Enforcement Decree to the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act establishes the conditions under which a credit card company may issue new cards and solicit new members. New credit cards may be issued only to the following persons:
persons who are at least 19 years old when they apply for a credit card;
persons whose capability to pay bills as they come due has been verified using standards established by the credit card company; and
in the case of minors who are 18 years old, persons who submit documents evidencing employment as of the date of the credit card application, such as an employment certificate, or persons for whom the issuance of a credit card is necessitated by governmental policies, such as financial aid.
In addition, a credit card company may not solicit credit card members by:
providing economic benefits or promising to provide economic benefits in excess of 10% of the annual credit card fee (in the case of credit cards with annual fees that are less than the average of the annual fees charged by major credit cards in Korea, the annual fee will be deemed to be equal to such average annual fee) in connection with issuing a credit card; provided, however, that providing or promising economic benefits to provide economic benefits not exceeding the amount of the annual credit card fee to an applicant that becomes a credit card member through an online platform is permissible;
fees charged by major credit cards in Korea, the annual fee will be deemed to be equal to such average annual fee) in connection with issuing a credit card; provided, however, that providing economic benefits to or promising to provide economic benefits not exceeding the amount of the annual credit card fee to an applicant that becomes a credit card member through an online platform is permissible; |
soliciting applicants on roads, public places or along corridors used by the general public;

Regulations on Class Actions Regarding Securities
The Law on Class Actions Regarding Securities was enacted as of January 20, 2004 and last amended on May 28, 2013. The Law on Class Actions Regarding Securities governs class actions suits instituted by one or more representative plaintiff(s) on behalf of 50 or more persons who claim to have been damaged in a capital markets transaction involving securities issued by a listed company in Korea.
Applicable causes of action with respect to such suits include:
claims for damages caused by misleading information contained in a securities statement;
claims for damages caused by the filing of a misleading business report, semi-annual report, or quarterly report;
claims for damages caused by insider trading or market manipulation; and
claims instituted against auditors for damages caused by accounting irregularities.
Any such class action may be instituted upon approval from the presiding court and the outcome of such class action will have a binding effect on all potential plaintiffs who have not joined the action, with the exception of those who have filed an opt out notice with such court.
Regulations on Financial Investment Business
General
The Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, which became effective in February 2009, regulates and governs the financial investment business in Korea. The entities that regulate and supervise financial investment companies are the Financial Services Commission, the Financial Supervisory Service and the Securities and Futures Commission.
Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, a company must obtain a license from the Financial Services Commission to commence a financial investment business such as a brokerage business, a dealing business or an underwriting business, or register with the Financial Services Commission to commence a financial investment business such as an investment advisory business or a discretionary investment management business. A bank is permitted to engage in certain types of financial investment business as specified under the Enforcement Decree of the Bank Act. Prior to commencing a financial investment business, a bank must file a report with the Financial Services Commission and apply for a license pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.
Consolidation of Capital Markets-Related Laws
Prior to the effectiveness of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, there were separate laws regulating various types of financial institutions depending on the type of financial institution (e.g., securities companies, futures companies, trust business companies and asset management companies) and subjecting financial institutions to different licensing and ongoing regulatory requirements (e.g., the Korean Securities Exchange Act, the Futures Business Act and the Indirect Investment Asset Management Business Act). By applying one uniform set of rules to the same financial business having the same economic function, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act attempts to improve and address issues caused by the previous regulatory system under which the same economic function relating to capital markets-related businesses are governed by multiple regulations. To this end, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act categorizes capital markets-related businesses into six different functions, as follows:
dealing, trading and underwriting of “financial investment products” (as defined below);
brokerage of financial investment products;
establishment of collective investment schemes and the management thereof;
investment advice;
discretionary investment management; and
trusts (together with the five businesses set forth above, the “Financial Investment Businesses”).
Accordingly, all financial businesses relating to financial investment products have been reclassified as one or more of the Financial Investment Businesses described above, and financial institutions are subject to the regulations applicable to their relevant Financial Investment Businesses, regardless of the type of the financial institution. For example, under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, derivative businesses conducted by former securities companies and future companies will be subject to the same regulations.
Banking and insurance businesses are not subject to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and will continue to be regulated under separate laws. However, they may become subject to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act if their activities involve any financial investment businesses requiring a license pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.
Comprehensive Definition of Financial Investment Products
In an effort to encompass the various types of securities and derivative products available in the capital markets, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act sets forth a comprehensive term “financial
investment products,���” defined to mean all financial products with a risk of loss in the invested amount (in contrast to “deposits,” which are financial products for which the invested amount is protected or preserved). Financial investment products are classified into two major categories: (i) “securities” (financial investment products in which the risk of loss is limited to the invested amount) and (ii) “derivatives” (financial investment products in which the risk of loss may exceed the invested amount). As a result of the general and broad definition of financial investment products, a variety of financial products may be defined as a financial investment product, which would enable Financial Investment Companies (defined below) to handle a broader range of financial products. Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, entities formerly licensed as securities companies, asset management companies, futures companies and other entities engaging in any Financial Investment Business are classified as “Financial Investment Companies.”
New License System and the Conversion of Existing Licenses
Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, Financial Investment Companies are able to choose the type of Financial Investment Business in which to engage (through a “check the box” method set forth in the relevant license application), by specifying the desired (i) Financial Investment Business, (ii) financial investment product and (iii) target customers to which financial investment products may be sold or distributed (that is, general investors or professional investors). Licenses will be issued under the specific businesssub-categories described in the foregoing sentence. For example, it would be possible for a Financial Investment Company to obtain a license to engage in the Financial Investment Business of (i) dealing (ii) over the counter derivatives products (iii) only with sophisticated investors.
Financial institutions that engage in business activities constituting a Financial Investment Business are required to take certain steps, such as renewal of their license or registration, in order to continue engaging in such business activities. Financial institutions that are not licensed Financial Investment Companies are not permitted to engage in any Financial Investment Business, subject to the following exceptions: (i) banks and insurance companies are permitted to engage in certain categories of Financial Investment Businesses for a period not exceeding six months commencing on the effective date of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act; and (ii) other financial institutions that engaged in any Financial Investment Business prior to the effective date of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act (whether in the form of a concurrent business or an incidental business) are permitted to continue such Financial Investment Business for a period not exceeding six months commencing on the effective date of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.
Expanded Business Scope of Financial Investment Companies
Under the previous regulatory regime in Korea, it was difficult for a financial institution to explore a new line of business or expand upon its existing line of business. For example, previously a financial institution licensed as a securities company generally was not permitted to engage in the asset management business. In contrast, under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, pursuant to the integration of its current businesses involving financial investment products into a single Financial Investment Business, a licensed Financial Investment Company is permitted to engage in all types of Financial Investment Businesses, subject to satisfying relevant regulations (for example, maintaining an adequate “Chinese Wall,” to the extent required). As to incidental businesses (that is, a financial related business which is not a Financial Investment Business), the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act generally allows a Financial Investment Company to freely engage in such incidental businesses by shifting away from the previous positive-list system towards a more comprehensive system. In addition, a Financial Investment Company is permitted to (i) outsource marketing activities by contracting “introducing brokers” that are individuals but not employees of the Financial Investment Company, (ii) engage in foreign exchange businesses related to their Financial Investment Business and (iii) participate in the settlement network, pursuant to an agreement among the settlement network participants.
Improvement in Investor Protection Mechanism
While the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act widens the scope of financial businesses in which financial institutions are permitted to engage, a more rigorous investor-protection mechanism is also imposed upon Financial Investment Companies dealing in financial investment products. The Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act distinguishes general investors from sophisticated investors and provides new or enhanced protections to general investors. For instance, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act expressly provides for a strict know-your-customer rule for general investors and imposes an obligation that Financial Investment Companies should market financial investment products suitable to each general investor, using written explanatory materials. Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, a Financial Investment Company could be liable if a general investor proves (i) damage or losses relating to such general investor’s investment in financial investment products solicited by such Financial Investment Company and (ii) the absence of the requisite written explanatory materials, without having to prove fault or causation. With respect to conflicts of interest between Financial Investment Companies and investors, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act expressly requires (i) disclosure of any conflict of interest to investors and (ii) mitigation of conflicts of interest to a comfortable level or abstention from the relevant transaction.
Other Changes to Securities / Fund Regulations
The Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act changed various securities regulations including those relating to public disclosure, insider trading and proxy contests, which were previously governed by the Korean Securities Exchange Act. For example, the 5% and 10% reporting obligations under the Korean Securities Exchange Act have become more stringent. The Indirect Investment and Asset Management Business Act strictly limited the kind of vehicles that could be utilized under a collective investment scheme, restricting the range of potential vehicles to trusts and corporations, and the type of funds that can be used for investments. However, under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, these restrictions have been significantly liberalized, permitting all vehicles that may be created under Korean law, such as limited liability companies or partnerships, to be used for the purpose of collective investments and allowing investment funds to be more flexible as to their investments.
Act on the Corporate Governance of Financial Companies
The Act on the Corporate Governance of Financial Companies, which became effective on August 1, 2016, was enacted to address the need for strengthened regulations on corporate governance of financial institutions and to serve as a uniform set of regulations on corporate governance matters applicable to financial institutions across a variety of industry sectors. It contains several key measures, including (i) eligibility requirements for officers of financial institutions and standards for determining whether officers of financial institutions may hold concurrent positions in other companies, (ii) standards for composition and operation of the board of directors of financial institutions, (iii) standards for establishment, composition and operation of various committees of the board of directors of financial institutions, (iv) regulations on internal control and risk management, (v) requirements and procedures for the approval of a change of major shareholders and (vi) special regulations to protect the rights of minority shareholders of financial institutions.

Overview
The following discussion is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of subsidiaries over which substantive control is exercised through either majority ownership of voting stock and/or other means. Investments in joint ventures and associates (which are companies over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence) are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are reported in investments in joint ventures and associates.
Trends in the Korean Economy
Our financial position and results of operations have been and will continue to be significantly affected by financial and economic conditions in Korea. Substantial growth in lending in Korea tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises in recent years, and financial difficulties experienced by such enterprises as a result of, among other things, adverse changes in economic conditions in Korea and globally (such as the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic affectingcontinuing to affect many countries worldwide, including Korea), may lead to increasing delinquencies and a deterioration in overall asset quality in the credit exposures of Korean banks tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises. Our loans tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises increased from ￦79,371 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦85,367 billion as of December 31, 2019.2019 to ￦97,476 billion as of December 31, 2020. In 2019,2020, we recordedcharge-offs of ￦219 billion in respect of our Won-denominated loans to small- and medium-sized enterprises, compared to charge-offs of ￦185 billion in respect of ourWon-denominated loans tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises, compared tocharge-offs of ￦199 billion in 2018.2019. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks relating to our corporate credit portfolio—The largest portion of our exposure is tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises, and financial difficulties experienced by companies in this segment may result in a deterioration of our asset quality and have an adverse impact on us.”
In recent years, commercial banks, consumer finance companies and other financial institutions in Korea have also made significant investments and engaged in aggressive marketing in consumer lending (including mortgage and home equity loans), leading to substantially increased competition in this segment. From the second half of 2016 to 2019,2020, the Korean government introduced various measures to tighten regulations on mortgage and other lending and housing subscription in response to the rapid growth in consumer debt and concerns over speculative investments in real estate in certain areas. Notwithstanding such measures, demand for residential property in certain areas, including Seoul, continued to increase through the end of 2019,2020, and accompanied by an increase in the prices of such property, our consumer loan portfolio increased from ￦117,096￦124,003 billion as of December 31, 20182019 to ￦124,003￦138,120 billion as of December 31, 2019.2020. Nevertheless, a decrease in housing prices as a result of the implementation of such measures, together with the high level of consumer debt and deteriorating domestic and global economic conditions, could result in declines in consumer spending and reduced economic growth, which may lead to increasing delinquencies and a deterioration in asset quality. In 2019,2020, we recordedcharge-offs of ￦217￦182 billion and provisions for credit losses of ￦163￦131 billion in respect of our consumer loan portfolio,compared tocharge-offs of ￦204￦217 billion and provisions for credit losses of ￦192￦163 billion in 2018.2019. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks relating to our consumer credit portfolio.”
The Korean economy is closely tied to, and is affected by developments in, the global economy. The overall prospects for the Korean and global economy in 20202021 and beyond remain uncertain. In recent years, and in 2020, the global financial markets have experienced significant volatility as a result of, among other things:
the occurrence of severe health epidemics, such as the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic;
interest rate fluctuations as well as changes in policy rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks;
financial and social difficulties affecting many countries worldwide, in particular in Latin America and Europe;
a deterioration in economic and trade relations between the United States and its major trading partners, including China;
escalations in trade protectionism globally and geopolitical tensions in East Asia and the Middle East;
the slowdown of economic growth in China and other major emerging market economies;
increased uncertainties resulting from the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union; and
political and social instability in various countries in the Middle East, including Syria, Iraq and Egypt.
In light of the high level of interdependence of the global economy, unfavorable changes in the global financial markets, including as a result of any of the foregoing developments, could have a material adverse effect on the Korean economy and financial markets, and in turn on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In particular, the recent global outbreak ofCOVID-19, which was declared a “pandemic” by The World Health Organization onin March 11, 2020, has led to global economic and financial disruptions, including impact on international trade and business activities, sharp declines and significant volatility in the financial markets as well as decreases in interest rates worldwide. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Other risks relating to our business—The recent global outbreak ofCOVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations” and “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Other risks relating to our business—An increase in interest rates would decrease the value of our debt securities portfolio and raise our funding costs while reducing loan demand and the repayment ability of our borrowers, which could adversely affect us.”
We are also exposed to adverse changes and volatility in the global and Korean financial markets as a result of our liabilities and assets denominated in foreign currencies and our holdings of trading and investment securities, including structured products. The value of the Won relative to major foreign currencies in general and the U.S. dollar in particular has fluctuated widely in recent years and has recently been subject to significant volatility as a result of theCOVID-19 pandemic. A depreciation of the Won will increase our cost of servicing our foreigncurrency-denominated debt, while continued exchange rate volatility may also result in foreign exchange losses
exchange losses for us. Furthermore, as a result of the deterioration of global and Korean economic conditions, there has been downward pressure on securities prices, including the stock prices of Korean and foreign companies in which we hold an interest. Such developments have resulted in and may lead to further trading and valuation losses on our trading and investment securities portfolio as well as impairment losses on our investments in joint ventures and associates.
As a result of progressively deteriorating conditions in the Korean and global economies and financial markets, as well as factors such as fluctuations in oil and commodity prices, interest and exchange rate fluctuations, higher unemployment, lower consumer confidence, stock market volatility, changes in fiscal and monetary policies and continued tensions with North Korea, the economic outlook for the financial services sector in Korea in 20202021 and for the foreseeable future remains highly uncertain.
Changes in Accounting PoliciesCessation of LIBOR
IFRS 16Leases, which is effectiveIn March 2021, the FCA announced that all LIBOR settings will either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative (i) after December 31, 2021 in the case of all sterling, euro, Swiss franc and Japanese yen settings and the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar settings and (ii) after June 30, 2023 in the case of the remaining U.S. dollar settings. Given the extensive use of LIBOR across financial markets, the transition away from LIBOR presents various risks and challenges to financial markets and institutions, including us, and in particular, Woori Bank. We issue, trade, hold or otherwise use various products and securities that reference LIBOR, including, among others, loans, securities, deposits, borrowings, derivatives and debentures, and have adopted specific measures for annual periods beginning on or afterits cessation. For example, in January 1, 2019, introduces2020, the Korea Federation of Banks, together with the Korean regulatory authorities and banks, established a single lessee accounting model generally requiring a lesseejoint taskforce to recognize assets and liabilities for leases. Under IFRS 16, which replaces IAS 17Leases, a lessee is required to recognize aright-of-use asset representingidentify the lessee’s right to useimpact of the underlying leased assetcessation of LIBOR. Woori Bank has also organized an internal LIBOR cessation steering committee and a lease liability representingworking-level taskforce team to assess, identify, monitor and manage risks that may arise from the lessee’s obligationpotential discontinuation of LIBOR. As of the date of this annual report, we are continuing to make lease payments.transition to alternative reference rates in order to gradually reduce its exposure to LIBOR. We have applied IFRS 16 in our consolidated financial statements asexpect to minimize any negative impact that the cessation of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies
The notes to our consolidated financial statements contain a summary of our significant accounting policies, including a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements. Certain of these policies are critical to the portrayal of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. We discuss these critical accounting policies below.
Impairment of Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses
We evaluate our portfolio of loans and other financial assets at amortized cost (or loans and receivables) for impairment on an ongoing basis. We have established an allowance for credit losses, which is available to absorb
losses in our portfolio of loans and other financial assets at amortized cost (or loans and receivables).cost. If we believe that additions or changes to the allowance for credit losses are required, we record provisions for credit losses (as part of our impairment loss for credit loss), which are treated as charges against current income. Loan exposures that we deem to be uncollectible, including actual loan losses, net of recoveries of previouslywritten-off amounts, are charged directly against the allowance for credit losses.
We have established our allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 20192020 in accordance with IFRS 9 and as of December 31, 2017 in accordance with IAS 39. See Note2-(1)-3) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
9. Our accounting policies under IFRS 9 for losses arising from the impairment of loans and other financial assets at amortized cost and our allowance for credit loss are described in Notes2-(9)-6) and3-(3) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The impairment model under IFRS 9 requires the calculation of allowance for credit losses based on expected credit losses instead of incurred credit losses (as was the case under IAS 39) by assessing changes in expected credit losses and recognizing such changes as impairment loss (or reversal of impairment loss) in profit or loss. Under IFRS 9, the allowance required to be established with respect to a loan or financial asset is the amount of the expected12-month credit loss or the expected lifetime credit loss for the applicable loan or financial asset, according to the three stages of credit risk deterioration since initial recognition, as follows:
Stage 1 (loans and other financial assets at amortized cost for which credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition): the allowance for credit losses must cover expected credit losses due to possible defaults on the relevant loan or financial asset within a12-month period from the reporting date.
Stage 2 (loans and other financial assets at amortized cost for which credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition): the allowance for credit losses must cover expected credit losses from all possible defaults during the expected lifetime of the relevant loan or financial asset.
Stage 3 (credit-impaired loans and other financial assets at amortized cost): the allowance for credit losses must cover expected credit losses from all possible defaults during the expected lifetime of the relevant loan or financial asset.
At the end of every reporting period, we evaluate whether the credit risk with respect to our loans and other financial assets at amortized cost, after taking into account forward-looking information, has significantly increased since the date of their initial recognition. When evaluating whether credit risk has significantly increased, we take into account changes in the probability of default over the remaining life of a loan or financial asset, rather than changes in the amount of expected credit losses relating thereto. We distinguish between corporate and retail exposures in performing such evaluation, and consider factors such as the following as indicators of a significant increase in credit risk:
the asset quality classification of the loan or financial asset is “precautionary” or lower;
payments on the loan or financial asset are more than 30 days past due;
there has been a significant decrease in the borrower’s credit rating;
in the case of a corporate borrower, the borrower is subject to a warning under an early warning system; or
in the case of a corporate borrower, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties (as evidenced by factors such as a capital impairment or an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion by its external auditors).
In establishing our allowance for credit losses, we take into account information available as of the relevant reporting date regarding past events, current economic conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. The probability of default and expected loss with respect to loans and other financial assets at amortized cost are
calculated by considering factors such as borrower type, credit rating and applicable portfolio. In addition, in
measuring expected credit loss, we seek to use reasonable and supportable macroeconomic indicators such as economic growth rates, interest rates and stock market index levels in forecasting future economic conditions.
Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20192020 included a total allowance for losses on loans and other financial assets at amortized cost of ￦1,657￦1,996 billion as of that date. We recorded provisions for credit losses on loans and other financial assets at amortized cost of ￦386￦792 billion in 2019.2020.
We believe that the accounting estimates related to impairment of loans and other financial assets at amortized cost (or loans and receivables) and our allowance for credit losses are a “critical accounting policy” because: (1) they are highly susceptible to change from period to period based on our estimates of expected credit and losses relating to our loan portfolio; and (2) any significant difference between expected credit losses on loans and other financial assets at amortized cost (or loans and receivables), as reflected in our allowance for credit losses, and actual losses on loans and other financial assets at amortized cost (or loans and receivables) could require us to record additional provisions for credit losses or charge-offs which, if significant, could have a material impact on our profit. Our estimates of expected credit losses require significant management judgment regarding matters such as the significance of changes in credit risk and probability of default since initial recognition. Actual losses have fluctuated in the past and are expected to continue to do so, based on a variety of factors.
Valuation of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Our accounting policy for determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities is described in Notes2-(9)-5),3-(2) and 11 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price in an actively traded market. In the event that the market for a financial asset or liability is not active, a valuation technique is used. The majority of valuation techniques employ only observable market data and, as such, the reliability of the fair value measurement is high. However, certain financial instruments are valued on the basis of valuation techniques that feature one or more significant market inputs that are unobservable. Valuation techniques that rely to a greater extent on unobservable inputs require a higher level of management judgment to calculate a fair value than those based wholly on observable inputs.
Valuation techniques used to calculate fair values are discussed in Notes2-(9)-5) and 11 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The main assumptions and estimates which our management considers when applying a model with valuation techniques are:
The likelihood and expected timing of future cash flows on the instrument. These cash flows are usually governed by the terms of the instrument, although judgment may be required when the ability of the counterparty to service the instrument in accordance with the contractual terms is in doubt. Future cash flows may be sensitive to changes in market rates.
Selecting an appropriate discount rate for the instrument. The determination of this rate is based on an assessment of what a market participant would regard as the appropriate spread of the rate for the instrument over the appropriaterisk-free rate.
Judgment to determine what model to use to calculate fair value in areas where the choice of valuation model is particularly subjective (for example, valuation of complex derivative products).
The financial instruments carried at fair value have been categorized under the three levels of the IFRS fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is amarket-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant. As such, even when market assumptions are not readily available, our own assumptions are intended to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20192020 included financial assets measured at fair value using a valuation technique of ￦32,724￦40,720 billion, representing 91.1%90.6% of total financial assets measured at fair value, and financial liabilities measured at fair value using a valuation technique of ￦2,933￦6,538 billion, representing 98.9%94.5% of total financial liabilities measured at fair value. As used herein, the fair value using a valuation technique means the fair value at Level 2 and Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
We believe that the accounting estimates related to the determination of the fair value of financial instruments are a “critical accounting policy” because: (1) they may be highly susceptible to change from period to period based on factors beyond our control; and (2) any significant difference between our estimate of the fair value of these financial instruments on any particular date and either their estimated fair value on a different date or the actual proceeds that we receive upon sale of these financial instruments could result in valuation losses or losses on disposal which may have a material impact on our profit. Our assumptions about the fair value of financial instruments we hold require significant judgment because actual valuations have fluctuated in the past and are expected to continue to do so, based on a variety of factors.
Deferred Tax Assets
Our accounting policy for the recognition of deferred tax assets is described in Notes2-(22) and3-(1) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
The recognition of deferred tax assets relies on an assessment of the probability and sufficiency of future taxable profits, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and ongoing tax planning strategies.
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, unused tax losses and unused tax credits. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which those deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized. This assessment requires significant management judgment and assumptions. In determining the amount of deferred tax assets, we use forecasted operating results, which are based on historical financial performance, approved business plans, including a review of the eligiblecarry-forward periods, available tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations.
Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20192020 included deferred tax assets and liabilities of ￦40￦46 billion and ￦134￦160 billion, respectively, as of that date.
We believe that the estimates related to our recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets are a “critical accounting policy” because: (1) they may be highly susceptible to change from period to period based on our assumptions regarding our future profitability; and (2) any significant difference between our estimates of future profits on any particular date and estimates of such future profits on a different date could result in an income tax expense or benefit which may have a material impact on our net income from period to period. Our assumptions about our future profitability require significant judgment and are inherently subjective.
Goodwill
Our accounting policy for goodwill is described in Note2-(13) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill is recognized as the excess of (i) the sum of the consideration transferred and the amount of anynon-controlling interest in the acquiree over (ii) the net of theacquisition-date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If the net amount of theacquisition-date fair value of the identifiable assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred and the amount of anynon-controlling interest in the acquiree, such excess is recognized as a gain as of the acquisition date.
Goodwill is not depreciated and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. However, goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in an associate or a joint venture is not separately recognized and an impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment in the associate or the joint venture.
The review of goodwill impairment reflects our management’s best estimate of the certain factors. For example:
The future cash flows of the cash generating units, or CGUs, are sensitive to the cash flows projected for the periods for which detailed forecasts are available and to assumptions regarding thelong-term pattern of sustainable cash flows thereafter. Forecasts are compared with actual performance and verifiable economic data, but they necessarily and appropriately reflect our management’s view of future business prospects at the time of the assessment.
The rates used to discount future expected cash flows are based on the costs of capital assigned to individual CGUs and can have a significant effect on their valuation. The cost of capital percentage is generally derived from a Capital Asset Pricing Model, which incorporates inputs reflecting a number of financial and economic variables, including therisk-free interest rate in the country concerned and a premium for the inherent risk of the business being evaluated. These variables are subject to fluctuations in external market rates and economic conditions beyond our control and therefore require the exercise of significant judgment and are consequently subject to uncertainty.
A decline in a CGU’s expected cash flows or an increase in its cost of capital reduces the CGU’s estimated recoverable amount. If this is lower than the carrying value of the CGU, a charge for impairment of goodwill is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income for the year.
The accuracy of forecast cash flows is subject to a high degree of uncertainty in volatile market conditions. In such market conditions, our management retests goodwill for impairment more frequently than once a year to ensure that the assumptions on which the cash flow forecasts are based continue to reflect current market conditions and management’s best estimate of future business prospects.
Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20192020 included the value of goodwill of ￦351￦334 billion as of that date.
We believe that the accounting estimates related to the fair values of our acquired goodwill are a “critical accounting policy” because: (1) they may be highly susceptible to change from period to period since they require assumptions about future cash flows,run-off rates and profitability; and (2) any significant changes in our estimates from period to period could result in the recognition of impairment losses which may have a material impact on our net income. Our assumptions about estimated future cash flows,run-off rates and profitability require significant judgment and the fair values of the goodwill could fluctuate in the future, based on a variety of factors.
Defined Benefit Obligations
Our accounting policy for the recognition of defined benefit obligations is described in Notes2-(21) and3-(4) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
We operate both defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans for our employees. Contributions to the defined contribution plan are recognized as employee benefit expenses in the period in which an employee has rendered services entitling them to the contributions. For defined benefit pension plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Remeasurement, which comprises actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in our statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs.
Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are composed of service cost (including current and past service costs, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements), net interest expense (income) and remeasurement. We present the service cost and net interest expense (income) components in profit or loss, and the remeasurement component in other comprehensive income. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.
The defined benefit obligations recognized in our consolidated statement of financial position represent the actual deficit or surplus in our defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans. Liabilities for termination benefits are recognized at the earlier of either (i) when we are not able to cancel our proposal for termination benefits, or (ii) when we have recognized the cost of restructuring that accompanies the payment of termination benefits.
We believe that the estimates related to our recognition of defined benefit obligations are a “critical accounting policy” because: (1) they may be highly susceptible to change from period to period because they require us to make assumptions about discount rates, future wage growth rates, retirement rates and mortality rates; and (2) any significant remeasurement of net defined benefit obligations may have a material impact on our other comprehensive income and retained earnings. Our actuarial assumptions require significant judgment due to the complexities involved in the valuation of our defined benefit obligations and theirlong-term nature.
For an analysis of the sensitivity of our defined benefit obligations to changes in actuarial assumptions, see Note 24 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Comparison of 2020 to 2019
Interest Income. Interest income decreased 10.0% from ￦10,577 billion in 2019 to ￦9,524 billion in 2020, primarily due to a 9.3% decrease in interest on loans. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased by 49 basis points from 3.11% in 2019 to 2.62% in 2020, which reflected an overall decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2020 compared to 2019. The effect of this decrease was partially offset by a 6.9% increase in average balance of interest-earning assets from ￦339,634 billion in 2019 to ￦363,140 billion in 2020, principally due to the growth of our loan portfolio.
The 9.3% decrease in interest on loans from ￦9,444 billion in 2019 to ￦8,570 billion in 2020 was principally due to:
a 58 basis point decrease in the average yield on commercial and industrial loans from 3.27% in 2019 to 2.69% in 2020, which was partially offset by an 8.4% increase in the average volume of such loans from ￦110,291 billion in 2019 to ￦119,586 billion in 2020;
a 45 basis point decrease in the average yield on general purpose household loans (including home equity loans) from 4.10% in 2019 to 3.65% in 2020, which was partially offset by a 3.8% increase in the average volume of such loans from ￦71,413 billion in 2019 to ￦74,124 billion in 2020;
a 116 basis point decrease in the average yield on trade financing loans from 2.65% in 2019 to 1.49% in 2020, which was enhanced by a 7.7% decrease in the average volume of such loans from ￦11,112 billion in 2019 to ￦10,253 billion in 2020; and
a 43 basis point decrease in the average yield on mortgage loans from 3.22% in 2019 to 2.79% in 2020, which was partially offset by a 7.2% increase in the average volume of such loans from ￦53,296 billion in 2019 to ￦57,123 billion in 2020.
The average yields on commercial and industrial loans, general purpose household loans, trade financing loans and mortgage loans decreased mainly due to the overall decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2020 compared to 2019. The average volumes of commercial and industrial loans, general purpose household loans and mortgage loans increased primarily due to increased demand from borrowers in need of financing in light of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as an increase in home purchases in the case of general purpose household loans and mortgage loans. The average volume of trade financing loans decreased mainly as a result of lower demand for such loans due to decreases in exports and imports due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Overall, the average yield on loans decreased by 54 basis points from 3.59% in 2019 to 3.05% in 2020, while the average volume of loans increased 6.6% from ￦263,121 billion in 2019 to ￦280,522 billion in 2020.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased 24.7% from ￦4,683 billion in 2019 to ￦3,526 billion in 2020, primarily due to a 27.4% decrease in interest expense on deposits, which was enhanced by a 29.5% decrease in interest expense on borrowings. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 43 basis points from 1.45% in 2019 to 1.02% in 2020, which mainly reflected the overall decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2020 compared to 2019. The effect of this decrease was partially offset by a 7.1% increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities from ￦323,855 billion in 2019 to ￦347,004 billion in 2020, which was principally due to increases in the average balances of deposits, debentures and borrowings.
The 24.7% decrease in interest expense on deposits from ￦3,424 billion in 2019 to ￦2,487 billion in 2020 resulted mainly from:
a 42 basis point decrease in the average cost of Won-denominated time and savings deposits from 1.33% in 2019 to 0.91% in 2020, which was partially offset by a 6.5% increase in the average balance of such deposits from ￦211,732 billion in 2019 to ￦225,563 billion in 2020;
a 60 basis point decrease in the average cost of other deposits (other than Won-denominated demand deposits, time and savings deposits and certificates of deposit) from 1.63% in 2019 to 1.03% in 2020, which was partially offset by a 20.5% increase in the average balance of such deposits from ￦28,930 billion in 2019 to ￦34,861 billion in 2020; and
a 64.8% decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposits from ￦4,760 billion in 2019 to ￦1,677 billion in 2020, which was enhanced by an 89 basis point decrease in the average cost of certificates of deposits from 2.21% in 2019 to 1.31% in 2020.
The decreases in the average cost of Won-denominated time and savings deposits, other deposits and certificates of deposits were primarily attributable to the overall decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2020 compared to 2019, while the increases in the average volume of Won-denominated time and savings deposits and other deposits mainly reflected customers’ continuing preference for low-risk products and institutions in Korea in light of the continuing uncertainty in financial markets in 2020 resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit was principally the result of lower sales of such products due to our decreased need for such sales in light of capital requirements.
Overall, the average cost of deposits decreased by 44 basis points from 1.35% in 2019 to 0.91% in 2020, while the average volume of deposits increased 7.3% from ￦253,635 billion in 2019 to ￦272,211 billion in 2020.
The 29.5% decrease in interest expense on borrowings from ￦383 billion in 2019 to ￦270 billion in 2020 was primarily due to a 73 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings from 1.99% in 2019 to 1.26% in 2020, which mainly reflected the overall decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2020 compared to 2019. Such decrease was partially offset by an 11.0% increase in the average balance of borrowings from ￦19,258 billion in 2019 to ￦21,368 billion in 2020, which was mainly attributable to our increased use of borrowings to meet our funding needs in light of the lower interest rate environment in Korea.
The 6.9% decrease in interest expense on debentures from ￦777 billion in 2019 to ￦723 billion in 2020 was primarily due to a 39 basis point decrease in the average cost of debentures from 2.63% in 2019 to 2.24% in 2020, which mainly reflected the overall decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2020 compared to 2019. Such decrease was partially offset by a 9.4% increase in the average balance of debentures from ￦29,536 billion in 2019 to ￦32,315 billion in 2020, which was mainly due to additional debentures attributable to the addition of Woori Financial Capital as a consolidated subsidiary starting on October 20, 2020.
Net Interest Margin. Net interest margin represents the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. Our overall net interest margin decreased from 1.74% in 2019 to 1.65% in 2020, as a 6.9% increase in the average balance of our interest-earning assets from ￦339,634 billion in 2019 to ￦363,140 billion in 2020 outpaced a 1.8% increase in our net interest income from ￦5,894 billion in 2019 to ￦5,998 billion in 2020. The growth in average interest-earning assets was slightly outpaced by a 7.1% increase in average interest-bearing liabilities from ￦323,855 billion in 2019 to ￦347,004 billion in 2020. The decrease in interest income was also outpaced by the decrease in interest expense, resulting in the increase in net interest income. The decrease in net interest margin was driven mainly by a decrease in our net interest spread, which represents the difference between the average yield on our interest-earning assets and the average cost of our interest-bearing liabilities, from 1.66% in 2019 to 1.60% in 2020. The decrease in our net interest spread reflected a larger decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets compared to the decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities between the two periods, primarily due to the earlier adjustment of interest rates on interest-earning assets compared to interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities in the context of a lower interest rate environment in 2020 compared to 2019.
Comparison of 2019 to 2018
Interest Income. Interest income increased 9.2% from ￦9,684 billion in 2018 to ￦10,577 billion in 2019, primarily due to a 6.9% increase in interest on loans. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased 7.9% from ￦314,642 billion in 2018 to ￦339,634 in 2019, principally due to the growth of our loan and
securities portfolios. The effect of this increase was enhanced by a 3 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets from 3.08% in 2018 to 3.11% in 2019, which reflected an overall increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2019 compared to 2018.
The 6.9% increase in interest on loans from ￦8,832 billion in 2018 to ￦9,444 billion in 2019 was principally due to:
a 6.5% increase in the average volume of general purpose household loans (including home equity loans) from ￦67,042 billion in 2018 to ￦71,413 billion in 2019, which was enhanced by a 15 basis point increase in the average yield on such loans from 3.95% in 2018 to 4.10% in 2019;
a 5.8% increase in the average volume of commercial and industrial loans from ￦104,269 billion in 2018 to ￦110,291 billion in 2019, which was partially offset by a 3 basis point decrease in the average yield on such loans from 3.30% in 2018 to 3.27% in 2019; and
a 10.0% increase in the average volume of mortgage loans from ￦48,445 billion in 2018 to ￦53,296 billion in 2019. The average yield on such loans remained stable at 3.22% in 2018 and 2019.
The average volumes of general purpose household loans, commercial and industrial loans and mortgage loans increased primarily due to increased demand for such loans from customers. The average yield on general purpose household loans increased mainly due to the overall increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2019 compared to 2018. The average yield on commercial and industrial loans decreased mainly due to a decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea commencing in the second half of 2019, which was reflected in such loans earlier than other types of loans. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Other risks relating to our business—An increase in interest rates would decrease the value of our debt securities portfolio and raise our funding costs while reducing loan demand and the repayment ability of our borrowers, which could adversely affect us.”
Overall, the average volume of loans increased 5.1% from ￦250,266 billion in 2018 to ￦263,121 billion in 2019, while the average yield on loans increased by 6 basis points from 3.53% in 2018 to 3.59% in 2019.
Our financial assets portfolio consists primarily of investment financial assets (i.e., financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and securities at amortized cost), a majority of which comprise debt securities, including those issued by Korean financial institutions, corporations and government-owned or controlled enterprises. Interest income on financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income increased 69.6% from ￦280 billion in 2018 to ￦475 billion in 2019, while interest income on securities at amortized cost increased 15.6% from ￦377 billion in 2018 to ￦436 billion in 2019. Such increases were primarily due to a 34.5% increase in the average balance of such investment financial assets from ￦32,404 billion in 2018 to ￦43,568 billion in 2019, which was further enhanced by a 6 basis point increase in the average yield on such investment financial assets from 2.03% in 2018 to 2.09% in 2019. The increase in the average balance of investment financial assets principally reflected an increase in the amount of financial institution bonds that we held as investment financial assets. The increase in the average yield on investment financial assets resulted mainly from the overall increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2019 compared to 2018.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 16.1% from ￦4,033 billion in 2018 to ￦4,683 billion in 2019, primarily due to a 17.4% increase in interest expense on deposits, which was enhanced by a 24.8% increase in interest expense on borrowings and a 7.9% increase in interest expense on debentures. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased 7.9% from ￦300,174 billion in 2018 to ￦323,855 billion in 2019, principally due to an increase in the average balance of deposits. The effect of this increase was enhanced by an 11 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 1.34% in 2018 to 1.45% in 2019, which mainly reflected the overall increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2019 compared to 2018.
The 17.4% increase in interest expense on deposits from ￦2,917￦2,917 billion in 2018 to ￦3,424￦3,424 billion in 2019 resulted mainly from:
| • | a 10 basis point increase in the average cost of Won-denominated time and savings deposits from 1.23% in 2018 to 1.33% in 2019, which was enhanced by a 7.6% increase in the average balance of such deposits from |
a 10 basis point increase in the average cost ofWon-denominated time and savings deposits from 1.23% in 2018 to 1.33% in 2019, which was enhanced by a 7.6% increase in the average balance of such deposits from ￦196,806 billion in 2018 to ￦211,732 billion in 2019; and
a 31 basis point increase in the average cost of other deposits (other thanWon-denominated demand deposits, time and savings deposits and certificates of deposit) from 1.31% in 2018 to 1.63% in 2019, which was enhanced by a 10.2% increase in the average balance of such deposits from ￦26,254 billion in 2018 to ￦28,930 billion in 2019.
| • | a 31 basis point increase in the average cost of other deposits (other than Won-denominated demand deposits, time and savings deposits and certificates of deposit) from 1.31% in 2018 to 1.63% in 2019, which was enhanced by a 10.2% increase in the average balance of such deposits from |
The increases in the average cost ofWon-denominated time and savings deposits and other deposits were primarily attributable to the overall increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2019 compared to 2018 as well as our efforts to increase the proportion of deposits compared to loans and the competition in connection therewith, while the increases in the average volume of such deposits mainly reflected such efforts as well as customers’ continuing preference forlow-risk products and institutions in Korea in light of the continuing uncertainty in financial markets in 2019.
Overall, the average cost of deposits increased by 12 basis points from 1.23% in 2018 to 1.35% in 2019, while the average volume of deposits increased 7.2% from ￦236,663￦236,663 billion in 2018 to ￦253,635￦253,635 billion in 2019.
The 24.8% increase in interest expense on borrowings from ￦307￦307 billion in 2018 to ￦383￦383 billion in 2019 was primarily due to a 22.3% increase in the average balance of borrowings from ￦15,752￦15,752 billion in 2018 to ￦19,258￦19,258 billion in 2019, which was mainly attributable to our increased reliance on borrowings to meet our funding needs.Suchneeds. Such increase was enhanced by a 4 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowings from 1.95% in 2018 to 1.99% in 2019, which mainly reflected the overall increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2019 compared to 2018.
The 7.9% increase in interest expense on debentures from ￦720￦720 billion in 2018 to ￦777￦777 billion in 2019 was primarily due to a 7.0% increase in the average balance of debentures from ￦27,613￦27,613 billion in 2018 to ￦29,536￦29,536 billion in 2019, which was mainly attributable to our increased use of debentures to meet our funding needs. Such increase was enhanced by a 2 basis point increase in the average cost of debentures from 2.61% in 2018 to 2.63% in 2019, which mainly reflected the overall increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2019 compared to 2018.
Net Interest Margin. Net interest margin represents the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. Our overall net interest margin decreased from 1.80% in 2018 to 1.74% in 2019, as a 7.9% increase in the average balance of our interest-earning assets from ￦314,642￦314,642 billion in 2018 to ￦339,634￦339,634 billion in 2019 outpaced a 4.3% increase in our net interest income from ￦5,651￦5,651 billion in 2018 to ￦5,894￦5,894 billion in 2019. The growth in average interest-earning assets was matched by a 7.9% increase in average interest-bearing liabilities from ￦300,174￦300,174 billion in 2018 to ￦323,855￦323,855 billion in 2019. The increase in interest income outpaced the increase in interest expense, resulting in the increase in net interest income. The decrease in net interest margin was driven mainly by a decrease in our net interest spread which represents the difference between the average yield on our interest-earning assets and the average cost of our interest-bearing liabilities, from 1.74% in 2018 to 1.66% in 2019. The decrease in our net interest spread reflected a larger increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities between the two periods compared to the increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, as interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities adjusted later than those on interest-earning assets in the context of a lower interest rate environment in the second half of 2019. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Other risks relating to our business—An increase in interest rates would decrease the value of our debt securities portfolio and raise our funding costs while reducing loan demand and the repayment ability of our borrowers, which could adversely affect us.”
Comparison of 2018 to 2017
Interest Income. Interest income increased 13.2% from ￦8,551 billion in 2017 to ￦9,684 billion in 2018, primarily due to a 12.7% increase in interest on loans. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 23 basis point from 2.85% in 2017 to 3.08% in 2018, which reflected an increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2018 compared to 2017. The effect of this increase was enhanced by a 5.0% increase in average balance of interest-earning assets from ￦299,691 billion in 2017 to ￦314,642 in 2018, principally due to the growth of our loan portfolio.
A substantial majority of loans that were previously classified as “loans and receivables” under IAS 39 are classified since 2018 as “loans and other financial assets at amortized cost,” which is part of “financial assets at amortized cost,” under IFRS 9, while a small portion of loans that were previously classified as “loans and receivables” under IAS 39 are classified since 2018 as “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” under IFRS 9. See “—Overview—Changes in Accounting Standards.” The 12.7% increase in interest on loans from ￦7,836 billion in 2017 to ￦8,832 billion in 2018 was principally due to:
a 51 basis point increase in the average yield on general purpose household loans (including home equity loans) from 3.44% in 2017 to 3.95% in 2018, which was enhanced by a 0.9% increase in the average volume of such loans from ￦66,420 billion in 2017 to ￦67,042 billion in 2018;
a 9.4% increase in the average volume of commercial and industrial loans from ￦95,349 billion in 2017 to ￦104,269 billion in 2018, which was enhanced by a 1 basis point increase in the average yield on such loans from 3.29% in 2017 to 3.30% in 2018; and
a 26 basis point increase in the average yield on mortgage loans from 2.96% in 2017 to 3.22% in 2018, which was enhanced by a 1.9% increase in the average volume of such loans from ￦47,545 billion in 2017 to ￦48,445 billion in 2018.
The average yields on general purpose household loans, commercial and industrial loans and mortgage loans increased mainly due to the increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2018 compared to 2017.The average volumes of general purpose household loans, commercial and industrial loans and mortgage loans increased primarily due to increased demand from borrowers in anticipation of further increases in the general level of interest rates in Korea.
Overall, the average yield on loans increased by 23 basis points from 3.30% in 2017 to 3.53% in 2018, while the average volume of loans increased 5.4% from ￦237,340 billion in 2017 to ￦250,266 billion in 2018.
Investment financial assets that were previously classified as“held-to-maturity financial assets” under IAS 39 are classified since 2018 as “securities at amortized cost,” which is part of “financial assets at amortized cost,” under IFRS 9. A substantial majority of investment financial assets that were previously classified as“available-for-sale financial assets” under IAS 39 are classified since 2018 as “financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” under IFRS 9, while a small portion of investment financial assets that were previously classified as“available-for-sale financial assets” under IAS 39 are classified since 2018 as either “securities at amortized cost” or “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” under IFRS 9. See Note2-(1)-3)-a) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. Interest income on investment financial assets classified in 2018 as either securities at amortized cost or financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, as compared to interest income on investment financial assets classified in 2017 as eitherheld-to-maturity oravailable-for-sale financial assets, increased 19.9% from ￦548 billion in 2017 to ￦657 billion in 2018. Such increase was primarily due to a 36 basis point increase in the average yield on such investment financial assets from 1.67% in 2017 to 2.03% in 2018, which was partially offset by a 1.5% decrease in the average balance of such investment financial assets from ￦32,881 billion in 2017 to ￦32,404 billion in 2018. The increase in the average yield on investment financial assets resulted mainly from the increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2018 compared to 2017.The decrease in the average balance of investment financial assets principally reflected a decrease in the amount of financial institution bonds that we held as investment financial assets.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 21.1% from ￦3,330 billion in 2017 to ￦4,033 billion in 2018, primarily due to a 22.6% increase in interest expense on deposits, which was enhanced by a 12.7% increase in interest expense on debentures and a 29.0% increase in interest expense on borrowings. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 18 basis points from 1.16% in 2017 to 1.34% in 2018, which mainly reflected the increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2018 compared to 2017. The effect of this increase was enhanced by a 4.9% increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities from ￦286,164 billion in 2017 to ￦300,174 billion in 2018, principally due to an increase in the average balance of deposits.
The 22.6% increase in interest expense on deposits from ￦2,380 billion in 2017 to ￦2,917 billion in 2018 resulted mainly from:
a 15 basis point increase in the average cost ofWon-denominated time and savings deposits from 1.08% in 2017 to 1.23% in 2018, which was enhanced by a 5.7% increase in the average balance of such deposits from ￦186,277 billion in 2017 to ￦196,806 billion in 2018; and
a 32 basis point increase in the average cost of other deposits (other thanWon-denominated demand deposits, time and savings deposits and certificates of deposit) from 0.99% in 2017 to 1.31% in 2018, which was enhanced by a 7.4% increase in the average balance of such deposits from ￦24,444 billion in 2017 to ￦26,254 billion in 2018.
The increases in the average cost ofWon-denominated time and savings deposits and other deposits was primarily attributable to the increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2018 compared to 2017, while the increases in the average volume of such deposits mainly reflected customers’ continuing preference forlow-risk products and institutions in Korea in light of the continuing uncertainty in financial markets in 2018.
Overall, the average cost of deposits increased by 17 basis points from 1.06% in 2017 to 1.23% in 2018, while the average volume of deposits increased 5.8% from ￦223,593 billion in 2017 to ￦236,663 billion in 2018.
The 12.7% increase in interest expense on debentures from ￦639 billion in 2017 to ￦720 billion in 2018 was primarily due to a 6.8% increase in the average balance of debentures from ￦25,865 billion in 2017 to ￦27,613 billion in 2018, which was mainly attributable to our increased use of debentures to meet our funding needs.Such increase was enhanced by a 14 basis point increase in the average cost of debentures from 2.47% in 2017 to 2.61% in 2018, which mainly reflected the increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2018 compared to 2017.
The 29.0% increase in interest expense on borrowings from ￦238 billion in 2017 to ￦307 billion in 2018 was primarily due to a 60 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowings from 1.35% in 2017 to 1.95% in 2018, which mainly reflected the increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2018 compared to 2017. The effect of such increase was offset in part by a 10.8% decrease in the average balance of borrowings from ￦17,669 billion in 2017 to ￦15,752 billion in 2018.
Net Interest Margin. Our overall net interest margin increased from 1.74% in 2017 to 1.80% in 2018, asan 8.2% increase in our net interest income from ￦5,221 billion in 2017 to ￦5,651 billion in 2018 outpaced a 5.0% increase in the average balance of our interest-earning assets from ￦299,691 billion in 2017 to ￦314,642 billion in 2018. The growth in average interest-earning assets was largely matched by a 4.9% increase in average interest-bearing liabilities from ￦286,164 billion in 2017 to ￦300,174 billion in 2018, but the increase in interest income outpaced the increase in interest expense, resulting in the increase in net interest income. The magnitude of this increase was enhanced by an increase in our net interest spread, which represents the difference between the average yield on our interest-earning assets and the average cost of our interest-bearing liabilities, from 1.69% in 2017 to 1.74% in 2018. The increase in net interest spread resulted from a larger increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets between the two periods compared to the increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, as interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities adjusted later than those on interest-earning assets in the context of the higher interest rate environment in 2018.

Comparison of 2020 to 2019
Our impairment losses due to credit loss increased 109.6% from ￦374 billion in 2019 to ￦784 billion in 2020, primarily due to a 105.2% increase in provisions for credit loss on loans and other financial assets at amortized cost. Such increase in provisions for credit loss on loans and other financial assets at amortized cost from ￦386 billion in 2019 to ￦792 billion in 2020 was primarily due to an increase in provision for loan losses in respect of our loan portfolio, which was mainly attributable to an expected deterioration in the overall asset quality of our loan portfolio due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Comparison of 2019 to 2018
Our impairment losses due to credit loss increased 13.3% from ￦330 billion in 2018 to ￦374 billion in 2019, primarily due to a 96.2% decrease in reversal of provisions on guarantees from 2018 to 2019, which was offset in part by a 7.0% decrease in provisions for credit loss on loans and other financial assets at amortized cost and a change in reversal of provision on (provision for) unused loan commitments during the same period. The 96.2% decrease in reversal of provisions on guarantees from ￦106 billion in 2018 to ￦4 billion in 2019 was mainly attributable to significant reversals in 2018 caused by the improvement in the financial condition of certain corporate customers on behalf of which we had extended guarantees and loans, which were not repeated in 2019. The 7.0% decrease in provisions for credit loss on loans and other financial assets at amortized cost from ￦415 billion in 2018 to ￦386 billion in 2019 was primarily due to our efforts to improve the overall asset quality of our loan portfolio. Reversal of provision on (provision for) unused loan commitments changed from a net provision of ￦17 billion in 2018 to a net reversal of ￦9 billion in 2019, mainly reflecting our efforts to reduce unused loan commitments in 2019.
Comparison of 2018 to 2017
Our impairment losses due to credit loss decreased 58.0% from ￦785 billion in 2017 to ￦330 billion in 2018, primarily due to a 51.9% decrease in provisions for credit loss on loans and other financial assets at amortized cost in 2018 compared to provisions for credit losses in 2017, which was enhanced by a 92.7% increase in reversal of provisions on guarantees. Such impairment losses were measured under IFRS 9 in 2018, as opposed to IAS 39 in 2017, and as of January 1, 2018, we recognized in retained earnings a ￦(294) billion adjustment relating to the adoption of IFRS 9, which reflected an increase in allowances for credit losses. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Assets and Liabilities—Asset Quality of Loans—Loan Loss Provisioning Policy.”
The 51.9% decrease from provisions for credit losses of ￦862 billion in 2017 to provisions for credit loss on loans and other financial assets at amortized cost of ￦415 billion in 2018 was primarily due to a net reversal of loan loss allowances for corporate loans in 2018, mainly reflecting an improvement in the overall asset quality of such loans, which was partially offset by an increase in loan loss provisions for consumer loans, principally as a result of an increase in the outstanding balance of our consumer loans. The 92.7% increase in reversal of
provisions on guarantees from ￦55 billion in 2017 to ￦106 billion in 2018 was mainly attributable to an improvement in the financial condition of certain corporate customers on behalf of which we had extended guarantees.
Allowance for Credit Losses
For information on our allowance for credit losses, see “Item 5.A. Operating Results—Critical Accounting Policies—Impairment of Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” and “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Assets and Liabilities—Loan Portfolio—Allocation and Analysis of Allowances for Credit Losses.”

During 2020, impaired corporate loans and net charge-offs, each as a percentage of total corporate loans, remained stable at 0.5% and 0.1% respectively. However, allowance for credit losses for corporate loans as a percentage of total corporate loans and as a percentage of impaired corporate loans increased, as a 22.7% increase in allowance for credit losses for corporate loans from ￦1,009 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦1,238 billion as of December 31, 2020 outpaced a 12.7% increase in total corporate loans from ￦139,592 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦157,303 billion as of December 31, 2020, and was enhanced by a 3.0% decrease in impaired corporate loans from ￦740 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦718 billion as of December 31, 2020. The decrease in impaired corporate loans was mainly attributable to our active efforts to charge off impaired corporate loans to improve the overall quality of our corporate loan portfolio, while the increase in allowance for credit losses for corporate loans was mainly attributable to an expected deterioration in the overall asset quality of our corporate loan portfolio due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During 2019, impaired corporate loans and allowance for credit losses for corporate loans, each as a percentage of total corporate loans, decreased primarily due to an improvement in the overall credit quality of our corporate loans. Such decrease was enhanced by an increase in the total amount of our corporate loans from ￦136,888 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦139,592 billion as of December 31, 2019. However, allowance for credit losses for corporate loans as a percentage of impaired corporate loans increased during 2019, as a 17.6% decrease in allowance for credit losses for corporate loans from ￦1,225 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦1,009 billion as of December 31, 2019 was outpaced by a 27.5% decrease in impaired corporate loans from ￦1,021 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦740 billion as of December 31, 2019, which was mainly attributable to an increase in corporate customers with higher credit scores and our active efforts to charge off impaired corporate loans to improve the overall quality of our corporate loan portfolio. Net charge-offs of corporate loans as a percentage of total corporate loans remained stable at 0.1% as of December 31, 2018 and 2019.
During 2018, impaired corporate loans, allowance for credit losses for corporate loans and net charge-offs, each as a percentage of total corporate loans, decreased primarily due to an improvement in the overall credit quality of our corporate loans, as well as the application of modified criteria for the determination of loan impairment under IFRS 9. Such decrease was enhanced by a slight increase in the total amount of our corporate loans from ￦136,676 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦136,888 billion as of December 31, 2018. However, allowance for credit losses for corporate loans as a percentage of impaired corporate loans increased during 2018, as an 11.4% decrease in allowance for credit losses for corporate loans from ￦1,383 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦1,225 billion as of December 31, 2018 was outpaced by a 39.0% decrease in impaired corporate loans from ￦1,674 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦1,021 billion as of December 31, 2018, which was mainly attributable to improved credit ratings of certain corporate borrowers and redemptions of such loans.

During 2020, impaired consumer loans and allowance for credit losses for consumer loans, each as a percentage of total consumer loans, increased as an 11.4% increase in total consumer loans from
￦124,003 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦138,119 billion as of December 31, 2020 was outpaced by both a 28.5% increase in impaired consumer loans from ￦418 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦537 billion as of December 31, 2020 and a 41.6% increase in allowance for credit losses for consumer loans from ￦291 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦412 billion as of December 31, 2020. Allowance for credit losses for consumer loans as a percentage of impaired consumer loans also increased, as the increase in allowance for credit losses for consumer loans outpaced the increase in impaired consumer loans due to an expected deterioration in the overall asset quality of our consumer loan portfolio due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Net charge-offs of consumer loans as a percentage of total corporate loans remained stable at 0.1% as of December 31, 2019 and 2020.
During 2019, impaired consumer loans and net charge-offs, each as a percentage of total consumer loans, remained stable. However, allowance for credit losses for consumer loans as a percentage of total consumer loans and as a percentage of impaired consumer loans decreased as the degree of overall impairment of our impaired consumer loans was not as severe in 2019 compared to 2018, as a 1.0% decrease in allowance for credit losses for consumer loans from ￦294 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦291 billion as of December 31, 2019 was enhanced by both a 5.9% increase in the total amount of our consumer loans from ￦117,095 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦124,003 billion as of December 31, 2019 and a 6.9% increase in impaired consumer loans from ￦391 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦418 billion as of December 31, 2019.
During 2018, impaired consumer loans and net charge-offs, each as a percentage of total consumer loans, remained stable. However, allowance for credit losses for consumer loans as a percentage of total consumer loans and as a percentage of impaired consumer loans increased, primarily due to aone-off increase in allowance for credit losses for consumer loans in connection with the application of IFRS 9 in the opening balances as of January 1, 2018. Such increase contributed to a 43.4% increase in the level of our allowance for credit losses for consumer loans from ￦205 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦294 billion as of December 31, 2018, which outpaced a 7.1% increase in total consumer loans from ￦109,290 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦117,095 billion as of December 31, 2018 as well as a 23.3% increase in impaired consumer loans from ￦317 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦391 billion as of December 31, 2018.

During 2020, impaired credit card balances and allowance for credit losses for credit card balances, each as a percentage of total credit card balances, decreased mainly due to a decrease in delinquency rates due to heightened credit review standards. However, allowance for credit losses for credit card balances as a percentage of impaired credit card balances increased, as a 5.5% decrease in our allowance for credit losses for credit card balances from ￦274 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦259 billion as of December 31, 2020 was outpaced by a 21.1% decrease in impaired credit card balances from ￦228 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦180 billion as of December 31, 2020. Net charge-offs of credit card balances as a percentage of total credit card balances decreased mainly as a result of an 18.6% decrease in net charge-offs of credit card balances from ￦221 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦180 billion as of December 31, 2019, primarily due to the decrease in delinquency rates due to heightened credit review standards.
During 2019, impaired credit card balances and allowance for credit losses for credit card balances, each as a percentage of total credit card balances, increased mainly due to a deterioration in the overall credit quality of our credit card portfolio. However, allowance for credit losses for credit card balances as a percentage of impaired credit card balances decreased, as a 5.4% increase in the level of our allowance for credit losses for credit card balances from ￦260 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦274 billion as of December 31, 2019 was outpaced by a 9.1% increase in impaired credit card balances from ￦209 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦228 billion as of December 31, 2019. Net charge-offs of credit card balances as a percentage of total credit card balances increased mainly as a result of a 19.5% increase in net charge-offs of credit card balances from
￦185 ￦185 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦221 billion as of December 31, 2019, primarily due to the deterioration in the overall credit quality of our credit card portfolio.
During 2018, while impaired credit card balances as a percentage of total credit card balances remained stable, net charge-offs of credit card balances as a percentage of total credit card balances decreased mainly as a result of a 17.9% increase in the total amount of our credit card balances from ￦6,827 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦8,051 billion as of December 31, 2018. However, allowance for credit losses for credit card balances as a percentage of total credit card balances and as a percentage of impaired credit card balances increased, primarily due to aone-off increase in allowance for credit losses for credit card balances in connection with the application of IFRS 9 in the opening balances as of January 1, 2018, which contributed to a 42.9% increase in the level of our allowance for credit losses for credit card balances from ￦182 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦260 billion as of December 31, 2018.

Comparison of 2020 to 2019
Our net fees and commissions income decreased 8.1% from ￦1,103 billion in 2019 to ￦ 1,013 billion in 2020, mainly due to a 12.0% increase in fees and commissions expense from ￦607 billion in 2019 to ￦681 billion in 2020, which was enhanced by a 0.9% decrease in fees and commissions income from ￦1,709 billion in 2019 to ￦1,694 billion in 2020.
The 12.0% increase in fees and commissions expense was primarily due to a 30.0% increase in fees and commissions paid from ￦190 billion in 2019 to ￦247 billion in 2020 and a 3.9% increase in credit card commissions from ￦408 billion in 2019 to ￦424 billion in 2020. The increase in fees and commissions paid was primarily attributable to increases in the fees and commissions paid with respect to loans and payments in foreign currencies. The increase in credit card commissions was mainly due to an increase in the overall credit card commission rate as well as an increase in commissions related to credit card benefits.
The 0.9% decrease in fees and commissions income was primarily due to a 7.5% decrease in fees and commissions received on credit cards from ￦549 billion in 2019 to ￦508 billion in 2020, a 29.2% decrease in fees and commissions received on securities business from ￦113 billion in 2019 to ￦80 billion in 2020, a 25.0% decrease in fees and commissions received on foreign exchange from ￦92 billion in 2019 to ￦69 billion in 2020 and a 10.6% decrease in fees and commissions from trust management from ￦180 billion in 2019 to ￦161 billion in 2020, which were offset in part by a significant increase in fees and commissions received related to leases from ￦5 billion in 2019 to ￦84 billion in 2020 and a 17.7% increase in other fees from ￦141 billion in 2019 to ￦166 billion in 2020. The decrease in fees and commissions received on credit cards was mainly due to a decrease in rates on credit card commissions received from merchants in accordance with Korean government policy, and the decrease in fees and commissions received on securities business and trust management was primarily attributable to the FSC’s restrictions on the sale of certain products included in such operations, including equity-linked trust products, from March 2020. The decrease in fees and commissions received on foreign exchange was primarily attributable to a general decrease across foreign currency transactions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including foreign exchange, international wire transfers and foreign trade. The increase in fees and commissions received related to leases was primarily due to the additional fees and commissions received related to leases attributable to the addition of Woori Financial Capital as a consolidated subsidiary starting on October 20, 2020.
Comparison of 2019 to 2018
Our net fees and commissions income increased 3.1% from ￦1,070 billion in 2018 to ￦1,103 billion in 2019, mainly due to a 1.7% increase in fees and commissions income from ￦1,681 billion in 2018 to ￦1,709 billion in 2019, which was enhanced by a 0.7% decrease in fees and commissions expense from ￦611 billion in 2018 to ￦607 billion in 2019.
The 1.7% increase in fees and commissions income was primarily due to a 39.4% increase in fees and commissions received on foreign exchange from ￦66 billion in 2018 to ￦92 billion in 2019, a 17.7% increase in fees and commissions received on securities business from ￦96 billion in 2018 to ￦113 billion in 2019, a 9.8% increase in fees and commissions received related to credit from ￦173 billion in 2018 to ￦190 billion in 2019 and a 13.2% increase in fees and commissions received for electronic finance from ￦121 billion in 2018 to ￦137
￦137 billion in 2019, which were offset in part by an 8.3% decrease in fees and commissions received on credit cards from ￦599 billion in 2018 to ￦549 billion in 2019. The increase in fees and commissions received on foreign exchange was primarily attributable to an increase in foreign exchange transactions due to an expansion of our overseas operations, the increase in fees and commissions received on securities business was mainly due to the expansion of our asset management business, the increase in fees and commissions received related to credit was principally due to growth in our loan portfolio, and the increase in fees and commissions received for electronic finance was mainly attributable to the expansion of our online and electronic platforms. The decrease in fees and commissions received on credit cards was mainly due to a decrease in rates on credit card commissions received from merchants in accordance with GovernmentKorean government policy.
The 0.7% decrease in fees and commissions expense was primarily due to a 4.9% decrease in credit card commissions from ￦429 billion in 2018 to ￦408 billion in 2019, which was offset in part by an 8.6% increase in fees and commissions paid from ￦175 billion in 2018 to ￦190 billion in 2019. The decrease in credit card commissions was mainly due to a decrease in the average volume of our credit card receivables. The increase in fees and commissions paid was primarily attributable to increases in the fees and commissions paid with respect to overseas and agency-related transactions.
Comparison of 2018 to 2017
Our net fees and commissions income remained stable at ￦1,070 billion in 2017 and 2018, as an 18.8% decrease in fees and commissions income from ￦2,069 billion in 2017 to ￦1,681 billion in 2018 was offset by a 38.8% decrease in fees and commissions expense from ￦999 billion in 2017 to ￦611 billion in 2018.
The 18.8% decrease in fees and commissions income was primarily due to a 44.1% decrease in credit card fees from ￦1,072 billion in 2017 to ￦599 billion in 2018, which was mainly attributable to our adoption of IFRS 15 in 2018, pursuant to which rewards and points provided to credit card users are deducted from revenue as they are considered as consideration provided to customers. As a result of such change to our accounting policies, fees and commissions received on credit cards and fees and commissions paid on credit cards were both reduced by ￦526 billion in 2018. See Note2-(6) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
The 38.8% decrease in fees and commissions expense was principally due to a 48.2% decrease in credit card commissions from ￦828 billion in 2017 to ￦429 billion in 2018, which was mainly attributable to our adoption of IFRS 15 in 2018, as discussed above.

Comparison of 2020 to 2019
Our net gain on financial instruments increased 252.5% from ￦139 billion in 2019 to ￦490 billion in 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to a significant increase in net gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss from ￦25 billion in 2019 to ￦422 billion in 2020, which was partially offset by a 56.9% decrease in net gain arising on disposals of financial assets at amortized cost from ￦102 billion in 2019 to ￦44 billion in 2020.
The significant increase in net gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss resulted mainly from a significant increase in net gain on the transaction and valuation of currency derivatives from ￦17 billion in 2019 to ￦656 billion in 2020, which was offset in part by a 148.6% increase in net loss on the transaction and valuation of interest rate derivatives from ￦109 billion in 2019 to ￦271 billion in 2020.
The 56.9% decrease in net gain arising on disposals of financial assets at amortized cost was primarily attributable to gains realized on sales of certain non-performing project finance loans held by us in 2019, which were not repeated in 2020.
Comparison of 2019 to 2018
Our net gain on financial instruments decreased 53.0% from ￦296 billion in 2018 to ￦139 billion in 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to an 88.3% decrease in net gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss from ￦214 billion in 2018 to ￦25 billion in 2019, which was partially offset by a 27.5% increase in net gain arising on disposal of financial assets at amortized cost from ￦80 billion in 2018 to ￦102 billion in 2019.
The 88.3% decrease in net gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss resulted mainly from a 70.1% decrease in gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss mandatorily measured at fair value from ￦197 billion in 2018 to ￦59 billion in 2019. Such decrease was primarily attributable to an 85.0% decrease in net gain on the transaction and valuation of currency derivatives from ￦113 billion in 2018 to ￦17 billion in 2019, which was enhanced by a 127.1% increase in net loss on the transaction and valuation of interest rate derivatives from ￦48 billion in 2018 to ￦109 billion in 2019.
The 27.5% increase in net gain arising on disposals of financial assets at amortized cost was primarily attributable to a 29.1% increase in net gain arising on disposals of loans and other financial assets at amortized cost from ￦79 billion in 2018 to ￦102 billion in 2019. Such increase mainly reflected gains realized on sales of certainnon-performing project finance loans held by us in 2019.
Comparison of 2018 to 2017
Our net gain on financial instruments increased 236.4% from ￦88 billion in 2017 to ￦296 billion in 2018. This increase was primarily attributable to a change in net gain (loss) on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss from a net loss of ￦105 billion in 2017 to a net gain of ￦214 billion in 2018. Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9 include all financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss that were classified as such under IAS 39 in 2017 as well as certain other financial instruments that were classified asavailable-for-sale financial assets and loans and receivables under IAS 39 in 2017. See Note2-(1)-1)-a) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. The effect of such change was partially offset by a 99.0% decrease in net gain onavailable-for-sale financial assets of ￦193 billion in 2017 compared to net gain on financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income of ￦2 billion in 2018.
The change in net gain (loss) on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss from a net loss to a net gain was principally the result of a significant increase in net gain on financial instruments held for trading of ￦6 billion in 2017 compared to net gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss mandatorily measured at fair value of ￦197 billion in 2018, which was enhanced by a change to a net gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss designated as upon initial recognition of ￦17 billion in 2018 compared to a net loss on financial instruments designated as at fair value through profit or loss of ￦111 billion in 2017. The significant increase in net gain on financial instruments held for trading in 2017 compared to net gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss mandatorily measured at fair value in 2018 was primarily due to a significant increase in gains on valuation of securities from ￦3 billion in 2017 to ￦137 billion in 2018, which was enhanced by a significant increase in net gain on transactions and valuation of derivatives held for trading from ￦3 billion in 2017 to ￦66 billion in 2018. Derivatives held for trading were classified as financial instruments held for trading under IAS 39 in 2017 but are classified since 2018 as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9. The change to a net gain on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss designated as upon initial recognition in 2018, compared to a net loss on financial instruments designated as at fair value through profit or loss in 2017, resulted mainly from a change in net gain (loss) on equity-linked securities from a net loss of ￦112 billion in 2017 to a net gain of ￦16 billion in 2018.
The 99.0% decrease in net gain onavailable-for-sale financial assets compared to net gain on financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income resulted mainly from a 99.1% decrease in gains on transaction of securities from ￦224 billion in 2017 to ￦2 billion in 2018. Such decrease was primarily attributable to the reclassification of certain equity and debt securities that were classified asavailable-for-sale financial assets in 2017 under IAS 39 to classifications other than financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, including financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and securities at amortized cost, in 2018 under IFRS 9. See Note2-(1)-3)-a) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Comparison of 2020 to 2019
Our general and administrative expenses increased 5.0% from￦3,766 billion in 2019 to￦3,956 billion in 2020, primarily as a result of a 5.9% increase in employee benefits from￦2,391 billion in 2019 to￦2,533 billion in 2020, which was enhanced by an 8.3% increase in depreciation and amortization expenses from￦481 billion in 2019 to￦521 billion in 2020.
The 5.9% increase in employee benefits was primarily due to a 4.1% increase in short-term employee benefits, which include salaries and other employee benefits, from￦2,060 billion in 2019 to￦2,144 billion in 2020. Such increase was enhanced by a 29.5% increase in termination benefits from￦156 billion in 2019 to￦202 billion in 2020. The increase in short-term employee benefits was principally due to an increase in employee salaries due to increases in average wages and the number of employees attributable to the addition of Woori Financial Capital as a consolidated subsidiary on October 20, 2020, and the increase in termination benefits was mainly attributable to our implementation of an early retirement program in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The 8.3% increase in depreciation and amortization expenses was principally due to one-off depreciation expenses relating to our IT system and certain facilities of our headquarters.
Comparison of 2019 to 2018
Our general and administrative expenses increased 3.9% from ￦3,624 billion in 2018 to ￦3,766 billion in 2019, primarily as a result of a 121.7% increase in depreciation and amortization expenses from ￦217 billion in 2018 to ￦481 billion in 2019, which was partially offset by a 17.6% decrease in other general and administrative expenses from ￦1,085 billion in 2018 to ￦894 billion in 2019.
The 121.7% increase in depreciation and amortization expenses was principally due to our adoption of IFRS 16, which resulted in an increase in lease amortization expenses that was offset in part by a decrease in rent expenses. For additional information on IFRS 16 and the impact of its application to our consolidated financial statements, see Notes2-(1)-1)-a) and b) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. The 17.6% decrease in other general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a 73.2% decrease in rent expenses from ￦321 billion in 2018 to ￦86 billion in 2019, which was principally due to our adoption of IFRS 16, as discussed above.
Comparison of 2018 to 2017
Our general and administrative expenses increased 2.6% from ￦3,531 billion in 2017 to ￦3,624 billion in 2018, primarily as a result of a 6.1% increase in other general and administrative expenses from ￦1,023 billion in 2017 to ￦1,085 billion in 2018, which was enhanced by a 17.9% increase in depreciation and amortization expenses from ￦184 billion in 2017 to ￦217 billion in 2018.
The increase in other general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a 12.1% increase in service charges from ￦199 billion in 2017 to ￦223 billion in 2018 and a 25.4% increase in computer andIT-related expenses from ￦71 billion in 2017 to ￦89 billion in 2018. The increase in service charges was principally due to higher rates charged by service providers as a result of an increase in the national minimum wage under Korean law, while the increase in computer andIT-related expenses resulted mainly from the incurrence of additional expenses relating to an upgrade of our computer systems, which was completed in May 2018.
The 17.9% increase in depreciation and amortization was mainly related to the upgrade of our computer systems during 2018, as discussed above.

Other operating expenses include principally losses on transaction of foreign exchange, KDIC deposit insurance premiums, contributions to miscellaneous funds, losses related to derivatives designated for hedging, losses on fair value hedged items and miscellaneous other operating expenses. The 59.7% increase in other operating expenses was primarily the result of a 253.6% increase in losses on transactions of foreign exchange from ￦192 billion in 2019 to ￦679 billion in 2020, which was enhanced by a significant increase in losses related to derivatives designated for hedging from ￦4 billion in 2019 to ￦83 billion in 2020. The increase in losses on transaction of foreign exchange, which was principally due to higher exchange rate volatility in 2020 compared to 2019, was partially offset by a 25.9% increase in gains on transaction of foreign exchange from ￦602 billion in 2019 to ￦758 billion in 2020, which is recorded as part of other operating income. On a net basis, net gain on transaction of foreign exchange decreased 80.7% from ￦410 billion in 2019 to ￦79 billion in 2020. The increase in losses related to derivatives designated for hedging, which was primarily driven by higher volatility in the financial markets in 2020 compared to 2019, was enhanced by a 47.2% decrease in gains related to derivatives designated for hedging from ￦127 billion in 2019 to ￦67 billion in 2020, which is recorded as part of other operating income. On a net basis, net gain (loss) related to derivatives designated for hedging changed from a net gain of ￦123 billion in 2019 to a net loss of ￦16 billion in 2020.
Other operating income includes principally gains on transactions of foreign exchange, gains related to derivatives designated for hedging, gains on fair value hedged items and miscellaneous other operating income. The 16.0% increase in other operating income was mainly attributable to a 25.9% increase in gains on transactions of foreign exchange from ￦602 billion in 2019 to ￦758 billion in 2020, which was offset in part by a 47.2% decrease in gains related to derivatives designated for hedging from ￦127 billion in 2019 to
￦67 billion in 2020. The increase in gains on transactions of foreign exchange, which was principally due to higher exchange rate volatility in 2020 compared to 2019, was more than offset by a greater increase in losses on transactions of foreign exchange, which is recorded as part of other operating expenses as discussed above. The decrease in gains related to derivatives designated for hedging, which was primarily driven by higher volatility in the financial markets in 2020 compared to 2019, was enhanced by an increase in losses related to derivatives designated for hedging, as discussed above.
Comparison of 2019 to 2018
Our other net operating expenses decreased 23.1% from ￦394 billion in 2018 to ￦303 billion in 2019, as a 44.2% decrease in other operating income from ￦1,389 billion in 2018 to ￦775 billion in 2019 was more than offset by a 39.6% decrease in other operating expenses from ￦1,783 billion in 2018 to ￦1,077 billion in 2019.
Other operating income includes principally gains on transactions of foreign exchange, gains related to derivatives, gains on fair value hedged items and miscellaneous other operating income. The 44.2% decrease in other operating income was mainly attributable to a 51.0% decrease in gains on transactions of foreign exchange from ￦1,228 billion in 2018 to ￦602 billion in 2019. This decrease, which was principally due to the overall depreciation of the Won in 2019 compared to 2018, was more than offset by a greater decrease in losses on transactions of foreign exchange from ￦991 billion in 2018 to ￦192 billion in 2019, which is recorded as part of other operating expenses.Onexpenses. On a net basis, net gains on transactions of foreign exchange increased 73.0% from ￦237 billion in 2018 to ￦410 billion in 2019.
Other operating expenses include principally losses on transaction of foreign exchange, KDIC deposit insurance premiums, contributions to miscellaneous funds, losses related to derivatives, losses on fair value hedged items and miscellaneous other operating expenses. The 39.6% decrease in other operating expenses was primarily the result of an 80.6% decrease in losses on transactions of foreign exchange from ￦991 billion in 2018 to ￦192 billion in 2019, which mainly reflected the overall depreciation of the Won in 2019 compared to 2018.This decrease was partially offset by a decrease in gains on transaction of foreign exchange, which is recorded as part of other operating income as discussed above.
Comparison of 2018 to 2017
Our other net operating expenses increased significantly from ￦31 billion in 2017 to ￦394 billion in 2018, as a 62.8% decrease in other operating income from ￦3,736 billion in 2017 to ￦1,389 billion in 2018 outpaced a 52.7% decrease in other operating expenses from ￦3,768 billion in 2017 to ￦1,783 billion in 2018.
The 62.8% decrease in other operating income was mainly attributable to a 63.8% decrease in gains on transactions of foreign exchange from ￦3,391 billion in 2017 to ￦1,228 billion in 2018. This decrease, which was principally due to lower exchange rate volatility in 2018, was partially offset by a 65.7% decrease in losses on transactions of foreign exchange from ￦2,887 billion in 2017 to ￦991 billion in 2018, which is recorded as part of other operating expenses. On a net basis, net gains on transactions of foreign exchange decreased 53.0% from ￦504 billion in 2017 to ￦237 billion in 2018.The decrease in gains on transactions of foreign exchange was enhanced by a 100.0% decrease in gains on disposals of loans and receivables from ￦205 billion in 2017 to nil in 2018, which reflected the change in classification of gains and losses on disposal of loans and receivables to “net gain (loss) arising on disposal of financial assets at amortized costs, which is part of “net gain on financial instruments,” under IFRS 9. We recognized a net gain arising on disposal of financial assets at amortized cost of ￦80 billion in 2018.
The 52.7% decrease in other operating expenses was primarily the result of a 65.7% decrease in losses on transactions of foreign exchange from ￦2,887 billion in 2017 to ￦991 billion in 2018, which mainly reflected lower exchange rate volatility in 2018. This decrease was more thanpartially offset by a decrease in gains on transaction of foreign exchange, which is recorded as part of other operating income as discussed above.

Comparison of 20192020 to 20182019
Our net othernon-operating income (expenses) changedexpenses increased 11.8% from net income of ￦43 billion in 2018 to net expense of ￦161 billion in 2019 to ￦180 billion in 2020, as a 163.2%36.7% increase in othernon-operating expenses from ￦87 billion in 2018 to ￦229 billion in 2019 to ￦313 billion in 2020 was enhancedpartially offset by a 47.7% decrease95.6% increase in othernon-operating income from ￦130 billion in 2018 to ￦68 billion in 2019.2019 to ￦133 billion in 2020.
Other non-operating expenses include principally depreciation on investment properties, interestoperating expenses of refundable deposits, losses on disposal of investment in joint ventures and associates,properties, losses on disposal of premises and equipment, intangible assets and other assets, impairment losses on premises and equipment, intangible assets and other assets, donations and miscellaneous othernon-operating expenses. The 36.7% increase in other non-operating expenses was mainly attributable to a 92.4% increase in miscellaneous other non-operating expenses from ￦132 billion in 2019 to ￦254 billion in 2020, which was partially offset by a 67.9% decrease in impairment losses on premises, equipment, intangible
assets and other assets from￦28 billion in 2019 to￦9 billion in 2020 and a 28.6% decrease in donations from￦63 billion in 2019 to￦45 billion in 2020. The increase in miscellaneous other non-operating expenses was principally due to increases in provisions relating to the estimated reimbursements and other payments in connection with Woori Bank’s sale of trade finance funds managed by Lime Asset Management Co. as well as derivative-linked fund and securities products tied to yields on treasury bonds of Germany and the United Kingdom. See “Item 8.A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Legal Proceedings and Regulatory Actions—Woori Bank” and Notes 23-(5)-2) and 3) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
Other non-operating income includes principally rental fee income, gain on disposal of investment in joint ventures and associates, gain on disposal of premises and equipment, intangible assets and other assets, reversal of impairment loss on premises and equipment, intangible assets and other assets and miscellaneous other non-operating income. The 95.6% increase in other non-operating income was primarily attributable to an 84.2% increase in miscellaneous other non-operating income from￦57 billion in 2019 to￦105 billion in 2020, which was mainly due to additional income from the liquidation of funds and bargain purchases resulting from the addition of Woori Financial Capital as a consolidated subsidiary on October 20, 2020.
Comparison of 2019 to 2018
Our net other non-operating income (expenses) changed from net income of￦43 billion in 2018 to net expense of￦161 billion in 2019, as a 163.2% increase in other non-operating expenses from￦87 billion in 2018 to￦229 billion in 2019 was enhanced by a 47.7% decrease in other non-operating income from￦130 billion in 2018 to￦68 billion in 2019.
The 163.2% increase in othernon-operating expenses was mainly attributable to a significant increase in miscellaneous othernon-operating expenses from ￦26￦26 billion in 2018 to ￦132￦132 billion in 2019, which was principally due to an increase in provisions relating to the estimated reimbursements and other payments in connection with Woori Bank’s sale of derivative-linked fund and securities products tied to yields on treasury bonds of Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. See “Item 8.A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Legal Proceedings and Regulatory Actions—Woori Bank” and Note23-(5)-2) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
Othernon-operating income includes principally rental fee income, gain on disposal of investment in joint ventures and associates, gain on disposal of premises and equipment, intangible assets and other assets, reversal of impairment loss on premises and equipment, intangible assets and other assets and miscellaneous othernon-operating income. The 47.7% decrease in othernon-operating income was primarily attributable to a 100.0% decrease in gains on disposal of investment in joint ventures and associates from ￦51￦51 billion in 2018 to nil in 2019, which was due to gains recognized in 2018 on the disposal of certain investments in joint ventures and associates after improvements in their financial condition, which were not repeated in 2019.
Comparison of 2018 to 2017
Our net othernon-operating income (expenses) changed from net expenses of ￦106 billion in 2017 to net income of ￦43 billion in 2018, as a 54.8% increase in othernon-operating income from ￦84 billion in 2017 to ￦130 billion in 2018 was enhanced by a 54.2% decrease in othernon-operating expenses from ￦190 billion in 2017 to ￦87 billion in 2018.
The 54.8% increase in othernon-operating income was primarily attributable to gains recognized in 2018 on the disposal of certain investments in joint ventures and associates after improvements in their financial condition.
The 54.2% decrease in othernon-operating expenses was mainly attributable to a 46.9% decrease in donations from ￦98 billion in 2017 to ￦52 billion in 2018, primarily reflecting our donation of issuance fees of dormant cashier’s checks for the preceding five years to the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency in 2017 in accordance with the amended Microfinance Support Act, which significantly decreased in 2018. Such decrease
was enhanced by a 92.3% decrease in losses on disposal of investment in joint ventures and associates from ￦39 billion in 2017 to ￦3 billion in 2018, which was principally due to a decrease in the number of such transactions in 2018 compared to 2017.

Share of Gain (Loss) on Joint Ventures and Associates
Comparison of 2020 to 2019
Our share of gain on joint ventures and associates increased 20.2% from￦84 billion 2019 to￦101 billion in 2020. Such increase was primarily due to a 21.2% increase in our gains on valuation of investments in joint ventures and associates from￦104 billion in 2019 to￦126 billion in 2020, resulting mainly from an increase in the share of profits from Well to Sea No.3 Private Equity Fund.
Comparison of 2019 to 2018
Our share of gain on joint ventures and associates significantly increased from ￦3￦3 billion in 2018 to ￦84￦84 billion 2019. Such increase was primarily due to a significant increase in our gains on valuation of investments in joint ventures and associates from ￦26￦26 billion in 2018 to ￦104￦104 billion in 2019, resulting mainly from the share of profits from Lotte Card Co., Ltd., in which we acquired a 20% equity interest in October 2019. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Credit Cards.”
Comparison of 2018 to 2017
Our share of gain (loss) on joint ventures and associates changed from a loss of ￦102 billion in 2017 to a gain of ￦3 billion in 2018. Such change was primarily due to a significant decrease in impairment losses from ￦115 billion in 2017 to less than ￦1 billion in 2018, resulting mainly from a ￦103 billion impairment loss we recorded in 2017 in respect of our 14.2% equity interest in Kumho Tire Co., Inc. (which we had acquired in 2010 as a result of adebt-to-equity swap in connection with its workout), due to further deterioration in its financial condition in 2017, which was not repeated in 2018. We no longer hold an equity interest in Kumho Tire Co., Inc. as a result of our loss of significant influence over the entity due to termination of the joint management procedures of the creditor financial institutions in 2018.
For further information regarding our investments in joint ventures and associates, see Note 13 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
Income Tax Expense
Our income tax expense is calculated by adding or subtracting changes in deferred income tax liabilities and assets to income tax amounts payable for the period. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, including operating losses and tax creditcarry-forwards, while deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are those between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including thecarry-forwards of unused tax losses, are recognized to the extent it is probable that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
Comparison of 2020 to 2019
Income tax expense decreased 29.1% from￦685 billion in 2019 to￦486 billion in 2020, mainly as a result of a decrease in our net income before income tax expense. Our effective tax rate was 25.2% in 2019 and 24.3% in 2020.
Comparison of 2019 to 2018
Income tax expense decreased 9.0% from ￦753￦753 billion in 2018 to ￦685￦685 billion in 2019, mainly as a result of a decrease in our net income before income tax expense, as well as a negative tax adjustment recognized in 2019 in respect of prior periods compared to a positive tax adjustment recognized in 2018. Our effective tax rate was 26.9% in 2018 and 25.2% in 2019.
Comparison of 2018 to 2017
Income tax expense increased 79.7% from ￦419 billion in 2017 to ￦753 billion in 2018, mainly as a result of an increase in our net income before income tax expense, as well as an increase in the applicable corporate income tax rate in Korea, inclusive of local income surtax, from 24.2% in 2017 to 27.5% in 2018. Our effective tax rate was 21.5% in 2017 and 26.9% in 2018.
For further information regarding our income tax expense, see Note 38 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
Net Income
Due to the factors described above, we recorded net income of ￦2,038￦1,515 billion in 2020, compared to￦2,038 billion in 2019 compared to ￦2,052and￦2,052 billion in 2018 and ￦1,530 billion in 2017.2018.

Comparison of 2020 to 2019
Our net income before tax for this segment decreased 25.2% from ￦2,478 billion in 2019 to ￦1,854 billion in 2020. Net income after tax also decreased 23.9% from ￦1,862 billion in 2019 to ￦1,417 billion in 2020.
Net interest income for this segment decreased 0.8% from ￦4,583 billion in 2019 to ￦4,545 billion in 2020, primarily reflecting the decrease in the average yield on loans, which was offset in part by the decrease in the average cost of deposits, mainly reflecting the overall decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2020 compared to 2019. The impact of such decrease was partially offset by increases in the average balances of loans and deposits, respectively, principally as a result of increased demand for such products from customers as discussed above.
Non-interest income attributable to this segment decreased 8.6% from ￦1,557 billion in 2019 to ￦1,423 billion in 2020, primarily due to a decrease in sales of financial products through bank branches as well as decreases in fees and commissions received on foreign exchange derivatives.
Impairment losses due to credit loss and others for this segment increased significantly from ￦33 billion in 2019 to ￦512 billion in 2020, primarily as a result of an increase in provision for loan losses in respect of Woori Bank’s loan portfolio, which was mainly attributable to an expected deterioration in the overall asset quality of such loan portfolio due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
General administrative expenses attributable to this segment increased 1.9% from ￦3,479 billion in 2019 to ￦3,545 billion in 2020, mainly due to increases in salaries and termination benefits and depreciation expenses relating to IT systems.
Non-operating expense for this segment decreased 62.3% from ￦151 billion in 2019 to ￦57 billion in 2020, primarily due to profits from the liquidation of the Well to Sea No.3 Private Equity Fund, which were partially offset by the increase in provisions relating to the estimated reimbursements and other payments in connection with Woori Bank’s sale of trade finance funds managed by Lime Asset Management Co. as well as derivative-linked fund and securities products tied to yields on treasury bonds of Germany and the United Kingdom.
Comparison of 2019 to 2018
Our net income before tax for this segment decreased 5.7% from ￦2,629 billion in 2018 to ￦2,478 billion in 2019. Net income after tax also decreased 2.8% from ￦1,916 billion in 2018 to ￦1,862 billion in 2019.
Net interest income for this segment increased 2.9% from ￦4,454 billion in 2018 to ￦4,583 billion in 2019, primarily due to an increase in the average balances of loans, principally as a result of increased demand for loans from customers, which was enhanced by an increase in the average yields on loans, mainly reflecting the overall increase in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2019 compared to 2018.

Comparison of 2020 to 2019
Our total assets increased 10.2% from ￦361,981 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦399,081 billion as of December 31, 2020, principally due to an 11.7% increase in loans from ￦271,032 billion as of December 31,
2019 to ￦302,794 billion as of December 31, 2020, which was enhanced by an 83.0% increase in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss from ￦8,069 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦14,763 billion as of December 31, 2020.
The increase in loans was primarily attributable to a 12.5% increase in loans in local currency from ￦221,484 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦249,265 billion as of December 31, 2020, which was enhanced by an 8.0% increase in loans in foreign currencies from ￦18,534 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦20,025 billion as of December 31, 2020, a 155.6% increase in installment financial bonds from ￦753 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦1,925 billion as of December 31, 2020 and a 13.0% increase in bonds purchased under resale agreements from ￦8,982 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦10,146 billion as of December 31, 2020.
The increase in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss was primarily attributable to a 136.2% increase in derivatives assets from ￦2,922 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦6,902 billion as of December 31, 2020, which was enhanced by a 45.4% increase in securities from ￦4,907 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦7,136 billion as of December 31, 2020. Such increase in securities was principally due to an increase in beneficiary certificates.
Comparison of 2019 to 2018
Our total assets increased 6.3% from ￦340,447 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦361,981 billion as of December 31, 2019, principally due to a 3.9% increase in loans from ￦260,820 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦271,032 billion as of December 31, 2019, which was enhanced by a 53.5% increase in financial assets at fair
value through other comprehensive income from ￦18,063 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦27,731 billion as of December 31, 2019.
The increase in loans was primarily attributable to a 5.1% increase in loans in local currency from ￦210,701 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦221,484 billion as of December 31, 2019, which was enhanced by a 21.6% increase in loans in foreign currencies from ￦15,239 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦18,534 billion as of December 31, 2019. Such increases were partially offset by a 39.4% decrease in bills bought in foreign currencies from ￦7,874 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦4,772 billion as of December 31, 2019 and a 23.2% decrease in bonds purchased under resale agreements from ￦11,702 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦8,982 billion as of December 31, 2019. The increase in financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income was primarily attributable to a 57.9% increase in debt securities of financial institutions from ￦11,253 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦17,770 billion as of December 31, 2019, which was enhanced by a 114.7% increase in corporate debt securities from ￦1,824 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦3,917 billion as of December 31, 2019.
Comparison of 2018 to 2017
Our total assets increased 7.6% from ￦316,295 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦340,447 billion as of December 31, 2018, principally due to a 3.7% increase in loans from ￦251,523 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦260,820 billion as of December 31, 2018, which was enhanced by a 36.9% increase inheld-to-maturity financial assets of ￦16,749 billion as of December 31, 2017 compared to securities at amortized cost of ￦22,933 billion as of December 31, 2018 and a 59.6% increase in due from banks from ￦8,868 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦14,151 billion as of December 31, 2018.
The increase in loans was mainly attributable to a 5.2% increase in loans in local currency from ￦200,213 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦210,701 billion as of December 31, 2018, which was partially offset by a 30.6% decrease in bonds purchased under resale agreements from ￦16,859 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦11,702 billion as of December 31, 2018. The increase inheld-to-maturity financial assets as of December 31, 2017 compared to securities at amortized cost as of December 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to an 88.3% increase in such securities of Korean treasury and government agencies from ￦3,995 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦7,523 billion as of December 31, 2018 and a 30.8% increase in such securities of financial institutions from ￦7,245 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦9,475 billion as of December 31, 2018. The increase in due from banks was mainly the result of a 76.7% increase in amounts due from the Bank of Korea from ￦6,246 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦11,035 billion as of December 31, 2018.

Comparison of 2020 to 2019
Our total liabilities increased 10.7% from ￦336,488 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦372,356 billion as of December 31, 2020, principally as a result of a 10.1% increase in deposits due to customers from ￦264,686 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦291,477 billion as of December 31, 2020, which was enhanced by a 21.5% increase in debentures from ￦30,858 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦37,479 billion as of December 31, 2020 and a 130.4% increase in financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss from ￦2,958 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦6,814 billion as of December 31, 2020. The increase in deposits due to customers was primarily due to an 8.2% increase in time deposits from ￦224,116 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦242,398 billion as of December 31, 2020, which was enhanced by a 43.9% increase in demand deposits from ￦8,655 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦12,454 billion as of December 31, 2020 and a 12.0% increase in deposits in foreign currencies from ￦27,144 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦30,409 billion as of December 31, 2020.
Our total equity increased 4.8% from ￦25,492 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦26,725 billion as of December 31, 2020. Such increase mainly reflected an 89.9% increase in hybrid securities from ￦998 billion as
of December 31, 2019 to ￦1,895 billion as of December 31, 2020 and a 4.0% increase in retained earnings from ￦18,525 billion as of December 31, 2019 to ￦19,268 billion as of December 31, 2020. The increase in hybrid securities was due to the issuances of local currency-denominated hybrid securities in February, June and October 2020. The increase in retained earnings was attributable mainly to the net income we generated in 2020.
Comparison of 2019 to 2018
Our total liabilities increased 5.6% from ￦318,494 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦336,488 billion as of December 31, 2019, principally as a result of a 6.4% increase in deposits due to customers from ￦248,691 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦264,686 billion as of December 31, 2019. The increase in deposits due to customers was primarily due to a 9.8% increase in time deposits from ￦204,052 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦224,116 billion as of December 31, 2019, which was partially offset by an 85.0% decrease in certificates of deposits from ￦6,511 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦974 billion as of December 31, 2019.
Our total equity increased 16.1% from ￦21,953 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦25,492 billion as of December 31, 2019. Such increase mainly reflected a significant increase innon-controlling interests from ￦213 billion as of December 31, 2018 to ￦3,982 billion as of December 31, 2019, principally due to the classification of hybrid securities (issued by Woori Bank) asnon-controlling interests starting from January 11, 2019.
Comparison of 2018 to 2017
Our total liabilities increased 7.7% from ￦295,730 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦318,494 billion as of December 31, 2018, principally as a result of a 6.0% increase in deposits due to customers from ￦234,695 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦248,691 billion as of December 31, 2018, which was enhanced by a 54.4% increase in other financial liabilities from ￦13,892 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦21,443 billion as of December 31, 2018. The increase in deposits due to customers was primarily due to a 5.0% increase in time deposits in local currency from ￦194,293 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦204,052 billion as of December 31, 2018. The increase in other financial liabilities primarily reflected a 444.7% increase in domestic exchange payables from ￦1,310 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦7,135 billion as of December 31, 2018.
Our total equity increased 6.7% from ￦20,565 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦21,953 billion as of December 31, 2018. Such increase mainly reflected a 9.6% increase in retained earnings from ￦15,620 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦17,125 billion as of December 31, 2018, which was enhanced by a 4.8% increase in hybrid securities from ￦3,018 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦3,162 billion as of December 31, 2018. Such increases were partially offset by a 14.2% increase in negative other equity from ￦1,939 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦2,214 billion as of December 31, 2018, primarily reflecting a significant increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss from ￦90 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦572 billion as of December 31, 2018, which was partially offset by an 11.4% decrease in negative other capital adjustments from ￦1,815 billion as of December 31, 2017 to ￦1,608 billion as of December 31, 2018. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss was principally attributable to a change from gain on valuation ofavailable-for-sale financial assets of ￦302 billion as of December 31, 2017 to a net loss on valuation of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income of ￦87 billion, resulting mainly from adjustments relating to the reclassification of certainavailable-for-sale financial assets under IAS 39 to financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9. For further information regarding the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 on our equity, see Note2-(1)-1)-e) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
Liquidity
Our primary source of funding has historically been and continues to be customer deposits, particularlylower-cost retail deposits. Customer deposits amounted to ￦234,695 billion, ￦248,691 billion, ￦264,686 billion and ￦264,686￦291,477 billion as of December 31, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2019,2020, which represented approximately 82.7%, 82.7%83.0% and 83.0%82.2% of our total funding, respectively.Werespectively. We have historically been able to use customer deposits to finance our operations generally, including meeting a portion of our liquidity requirements. Although the majority of deposits are short term, it has been our experience that the majority of our depositors generally roll over their deposits at maturity, thus providing us with a stable source of funding. However, in the event that a substantial number of our depositors do not roll over their deposits or otherwise decide to withdraw their deposited funds, we would need to place increased reliance on alternative sources of funding, some of which may be more expensive than customer deposits, in order to finance our operations. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Other risks relating to our business—Our funding is highly dependent onshort-term deposits, which dependence may adversely affect our operations.” In particular, we may increase our utilization of alternative funding sources such asshort-term borrowings and cash and cash equivalents (including funds from maturing loans), as well as liquidating our positions in trading and investment securities and using the proceeds to fund parts of our operations, as necessary.
We also obtain funding through borrowings and issuances of debentures to meet our liquidity needs. Borrowings represented 6.4%6.6%, 6.6%7.0% and 7.0%6.7% of our total funding as of December 31, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2019,2020, respectively. Debentures represented 9.8%9.6%, 9.6%9.7% and 9.7%10.6% of our total funding as of December 31, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2019,2020, respectively. For further information on our sources of funding, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Assets and Liabilities—Funding.”
Our liquidity risks arise from withdrawals of deposits and maturities of our borrowings and debentures, as well as our need to fund our lending, trading and investment activities and to manage our trading positions. Our
goal in managing our liquidity is to be able, even under adverse conditions, to meet all of our liability repayments on time and to fund all investment opportunities. For a discussion of how we manage our liquidity risk, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Liquidity Risk Management.”
The Financial Services Commission requires each Korean financial holding company and each Korean bank to maintain specific Won and foreign currency liquidity ratios. These ratios require us to keep our ratio of liquid assets to liquid liabilities above certain minimum levels. For a description of these requirements, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies—Liquidity” and “—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Liquidity.” We are currently in
compliance with all such requirements. In addition, notwithstanding any global economic and financial disruption resulting from the recentCOVID-19 pandemic, we do not expect to experience issues relating to foreign currency liquidity due to the low likelihood of large withdrawals of foreign currency and our access to existing lines of credit in foreign currency.
We are a financial holding company, and substantially all of our operations are in our subsidiaries. Accordingly, we rely on distributions from our subsidiaries, direct borrowings and issuances of debt and equity securities to fund our liquidity obligations at the holding company level. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks relating to our financial holding company structure and strategy.”

We utilizecredit-related financial instruments withoff-balance sheet risk in our normal course of business. The primary purpose of those instruments is to generate fee income for us, in return for making credit support and funds available to our customers as required. Such instruments consist primarily of guarantees, commercial letters of credit and unused lines of credit. Guarantees include guarantees for loans, debentures, trade financing arrangements and guarantees for other financings. Contingent liabilities for which guaranteed amounts are not finalized appear asoff-balance sheet items in the notes to the financial statements. Such contingent liabilities include, among others, contingent liabilities relating to trade financings and derivatives contracts with respect to foreign exchange rates and interest rates.
We also enter into transactions with certain structured entities, including through the purchase of their subordinated debt and the provision of credit facilities to them. For further information, see Notes1-(5) and1-(6) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

We analyze ouroff-balance sheet legally bindingcredit-related commitments for possible losses associated with such commitments. We review the ability of the counterparties of the underlyingcredit-related commitments to perform their obligations under the commitments and, if we determine that a loss is probable and estimable, we establish allowances for possible losses in a manner similar to allowances that we would establish with respect to a loan granted under the terms of the applicable commitment. These allowances are reflected as provisions in our statement of financial position. As of December 31, 2018,2020, we had established provisions for possible losses of ￦205￦212 billion with respect to our guarantees and loan commitments.
Capital Adequacy
We are subject to the capital adequacy requirements of the Financial Services Commission. The requirements applicable commencing in December 2013 pursuant to amended Financial Services Commission regulations promulgated in July 2013 were formulated based on Basel III, which was first introduced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, Bank for International Settlements in December 2009. Under the amended Financial Services Commission regulations, all financial holding companies and banks in Korea are required to maintain certain minimum ratios of Tier I common equity capital, total Tier I capital and total Tier I and Tier II capital torisk-weighted assets. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies Capital Adequacy” and “—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Capital Adequacy.”
If a financial holding company or a bank fails to maintain its capital adequacy ratios, the Korean regulatory authorities may impose penalties on such financial holding company or bank ranging from a warning to suspension or revocation of its license. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Other risks relating to our business—We may be required to raise additional capital if our capital adequacy ratios deteriorate or the applicable capital requirements change in the future, but we may not be able to do so on favorable terms or at all.”
The following table sets forth a summary of our capital and capital adequacy ratios as of December 31, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 20192020 based on IFRS and applicable regulatory reporting standards:

Our articles of incorporation provide that the board can have no more than 15 directors. There must be at least three outside directors and they must comprise a majority of the directors. Each director may be elected for a term of office not exceeding three years and may bere-elected, provided that each outside director may be elected for a term of office not exceeding two years and may bere-elected on an annual basis but may not serve in such office for more than a total of six years. In addition, with respect to all directors, such term of office will be extended until the close of the annual general meeting of shareholders convened in respect of the last fiscal year of the director’s term of office. These terms are subject to the Korean Commercial Code, the Financial Holding Company Act and related regulations.
Pursuant to an agreement we entered into with the KDIC in July 2019, we are required to use our best efforts to cause an employee of the KDIC nominated by it to be appointed as ournon-standing director, so long as the KDIC either (x) owns 10% or more of our issued shares with voting rights or (y) owns more than 4% but less than 10% of our total issued shares with voting rights and remains our largest shareholder (other than the National Pension Service of Korea).See.

At the holding company level, our employees do not currently have a labor union and none of such employees are members of an outside labor union. Woori Bank has a labor union, and approximately 66.6%68.3% of its employees as of December 31, 20192020 were members of the Korea Financial Industry Union. Neither we nor Woori Bank has experienced any significant labor disputes in recent years, although we have made certain concessions to our labor unions. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Other risks relating to our business—Labor union unrest may disrupt our operations and hinder our ability to continue to reorganize our operations.” We have placed a high priority on our relationship with our employees and on maintaining an atmosphere of trust and cooperation between our labor and management.
At the holding company level, our employees’ compensation comprises an individual base salary and bonus, which are determined based on the work productivity and performance of each employee and the relevant business unit. We believe that the salaries we pay to our employees and management are similar to those of other large financial companies in Korea. We evaluate employees twice a year (usually in March and September), based on our business performance and evaluations provided byco-workers and superiors. With respect to our compensation program, we do not provide housing leases or loans to our employees.
At Woori Bank, employee compensation is generally based on a combination of the agreed-upon base salary and bonuses. In addition, Woori Bank operates a “salary peak” system, under which an employee’s salary reaches a certain peak and then is gradually reduced as the employee reaches retirement age. Woori Bank’s bonus system is generally based on individual performance and business unit performance. We believe that Woori Bank’s compensation package is similar to that of institutions in the same industry. Woori Bank also
provides a wide range of benefits to its employees, including medical insurance, employment insurance, workers compensation, accident insurance, financial aid for children’s tuition and retirement pension plans.
We have an employee stock ownership association, which purchases our shares at the request of our employees using their own funds and financial support by us depending on the amount of purchase by employee.
The association is entitled to certainpre-emptive rights. See “Item 10B. Memorandum and Articles ofAssociation—Pre-emptive Rights and Issuances of Additional Shares.”
In accordance with the National Pension Act, we contribute an amount equal to 4.5% of employee wages, and each employee contributes 4.5% of his or her wages, into each employee’s personal pension account. In addition, in accordance with the Guarantee of Worker’s Retirement Benefits Act, we have adopted a retirement pension plan for our employees. Contributions under the retirement pension plan are deposited annually into a financial institution, and an employee may elect to receive a monthly pension or alump-sum amount upon retirement. Our retirement pension plans are provided in the form of a defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan. The defined benefit plan guarantees a certain payout at retirement, according to a fixed formula based on the employee’s average wages and the number of years for which the employee has been a plan member. The defined contribution plan, in which the employer’s contribution is determined in advance based onone-twelfth of an employee’s total annual pay, is managed directly by the employees. Under Korean law, we may not terminate the employment of full-time employees except under certain limited circumstances.

In August 2019, the Financial Supervisory Service commenced an investigation into past sales by Woori Bank and other banks in Korea of derivative-linked fund and securities products tied to yields on treasury bonds
of Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States, which may have resulted in significant losses to certain customers who purchased such products. In December 2019, the dispute settlement committee of the Financial Supervisory Service recommended (i) the reimbursement of 40 to 80% of the related losses to certain customers by the banks involved in the sale of such products, including Woori Bank, and (ii) individual settlements with
other customers who were not subject to the 40 to 80% reimbursement recommendation. Accordingly, as of MarchDecember 31, 2020, Woori Bank reimbursed 6011,231 out of the 6611,258 customers that agreed to accept the recommendation, which compose a vast majority of the customers with relevant losses in 2019.such claims. In March 2020, the Financial Services Commission imposed on Woori Bank a fine of ￦19.7 billion and asix-month ban on sales of new private equity funds and confirmed the Financial Supervisory Service’s decision to impose a warning of reprimand on our chief executive officer. Immediately following such decision, our chief executive officer, in his individual capacity, filed a request to nullify the warning of reprimand as well as an injunction request to suspend the decision against him in the Seoul Administrative Court. On March 20, 2020, the injunction request was granted and was affirmed by the Seoul High Court on March 26, 2020, suchappeal. Such decision was appealed byfinally confirmed on September 2, 2020. Woori Bank filed a formal objection to the Financial Supervisory Service toServices Commission’s imposition of the fine on May 22, 2020 in the Seoul HighCentral District Court, where the case is currently pending. There can be no assurance that such decisions by the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory ServicesService (as well as any similar investigations by other government authorities, and private claims by customers, to which we may become subject) will not adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and reputation. As of December 31, 2019, we recognized provisions with respect to such claims as part of our other provisions, which consist of provisions for litigation, loss compensation and others and totaled ￦172 billion. See Note23-(5)-2) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
In February 2020, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office commenced an investigation into the management of trade finance fundscertain fund products by Lime Asset Management Co. which may have resulted in significant losses to certain customers who purchased such products from banks and securities companies in Korea, including Woori Bank.

In May 2020, Woori Bank subsequently filed the relevant reports voluntarily.
In November 2017, the Seoul Northern District Prosecutors’ Office commenced an investigation into alleged business interference in Woori Bank’s hiring practices for new employees.

Restrictions Applicable to ADSs
An investor does not need Korean governmental approval to sell or purchase our ADSs in the secondary market outside Korea or to withdraw shares of our common stock from our ADS deposit facility or deliver those withdrawn shares in Korea. However, a foreign investor who intends to acquire shares must obtain an investment registration card from the Financial Supervisory Service as described below. Either the foreign investor or its standing proxy in Korea must immediately report its acquisition of the shares to the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service.
Persons who acquire shares of our common stock by withdrawing those shares from our ADS deposit facility may exercise their preemptive rights for new shares, participate in free distributions and receive dividends on shares without any further Korean governmental approval.
Restrictions Applicable to Shares
As a result of amendments to the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws and Financial Services Commission regulations (which we refer to collectively as the “Investment Rules”) adopted since January 1992 in connection with the opening and operation of Korea’s stock market, foreign investors may generally invest, with limited exceptions and subject to procedural requirements, in all shares of Korean companies, whether listed on the KRX KOSPI Market or registered on the KRX KOSDAQ Market. Foreign investors may trade shares listed on the KRX KOSPI Market or registered on the KRX KOSDAQ Market only through the KRX KOSPI Market or the KRX KOSDAQ Market, except in limited circumstances. These circumstances include:
odd-lot share trading;
acquiring shares (which we refer to as “Converted Shares”) by exercising warrants, conversion rights or exchange rights under bonds with warrants, convertible bonds or exchangeable bonds or withdrawal rights under depositary receipts issued outside of Korea by a Korean company;
acquiring shares through inheritance, donation, bequest or exercise of shareholders’ rights, includingpre-emptive rights or rights to participate in free distributions and receive dividends;
subject to certain exceptions,over-the-counter transactions between foreign investors of a class of shares for which the limit on aggregate acquisition by foreign investors, as explained below, has been reached or exceeded; and
sale and purchase of shares at fair value between foreigners who are part of an investor group comprised of foreign companies investing under the control of a common investment manager pursuant to applicable laws or contract.
Forover-the-counter transactions between foreign investors outside the KRX KOSPI Market or the KRX KOSDAQ Market involving a class of shares for which the limit on aggregate acquisition by foreign investors has been reached or exceeded, a financial investment company with a brokerage license in Korea must act as an
intermediary.Odd-lot trading of shares outside the KRX KOSPI Market or the KRX KOSDAQ Market must involve a financial investment company with a dealing license in Korea as the other party. Foreign investors may not engage in margin transactions by borrowing shares from financial investment companies with a dealing and/or brokerage license with respect to shares that are subject to a foreign ownership limit.
The Investment Rules require a foreign investor who wishes to invest in shares on the KRX KOSPI Market or the KRX KOSDAQ Market (including Converted Shares and shares being issued for initial listing on the KRX
KOSPI Market or registration on the KRX KOSDAQ Market) to register with the Financial Supervisory Service before making an investment. This registration requirement does not apply to foreign investors who acquire Converted Shares with the intention of selling the Converted Shares within three months from the acquisition date. The Financial Supervisory Service will issue an investment registration card to each registering foreign investor. This card must be presented each time the foreign investor opens a brokerage account with a financial investment company with a brokerage license. Foreign investors eligible to obtain an investment registration card include:
foreign nationals who have not been residing in Korea for a consecutive period of six months or more;
foreign governments;
foreign municipal authorities;
foreign public institutions;
international financial institutions or similar international organizations;
corporations incorporated under foreign laws; and
any person in any additional category designated under the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.
All Korean offices of a foreign corporation (as a group) are treated as a separate foreign investor from the offices of the corporation outside Korea for these purposes. However, a foreign corporation or depositary issuing depositary receipts may obtain one or more investment registration cards in its name in certain circumstances identified in the relevant regulations.
When a foreign investor purchases shares through the KRX KOSPI Market or the KRX KOSDAQ Market, it need not make a separate report because the investment registration card system is designed to control and oversee foreign investment through a computer system. If, however, a foreign investor acquires or sells shares outside the KRX KOSPI Market or the KRX KOSDAQ Market, that investor or its standing proxy must report that transaction to the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service at that time. In addition, if a foreign investor acquires or sells its shares in connection with a tender offer,odd-lot trading of shares or trades of a class of shares for which the aggregate foreign ownership limit has been reached or exceeded, that investor or its standing proxy must ensure that the financial investment company engaged to facilitate the transaction reports the transaction to the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service. Also, sale and purchase of shares at fair value between foreigners who are part of an investor group comprised of foreign companies investing under the common control of a common investment manager pursuant to applicable laws or contract are required to be reported to the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service. A foreign investor may appoint a standing proxy to exercise shareholders’ rights or perform any matters related to the foregoing activities if that investor does not perform these activities itself. A foreign investor may be exempted from complying with the standing proxy rules with the approval of the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service in cases deemed unavoidable by reason of conflict between laws of Korea and the home country of the foreign investor.
Certificates evidencing shares of Korean companies must be kept in the custody of an eligible custodian in Korea. The same entities eligible to act as a standing proxy are eligible to act as a custodian of shares for anon-resident or foreign investor. A foreign investor must ensure that its custodian deposits its shares with the Korea Securities Depository. A foreign investor may be exempted from complying with this deposit requirement with the approval of the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service in circumstances where compliance with
that requirement is made impracticable, including cases where compliance would contravene the laws of the foreign investors’ home country.
Under the Investment Rules, with certain limitations, foreign investors may acquire shares of a Korean company without being subject to any foreign investment limit. Under one of these limitations, foreign investors may acquire no more than 40% of the outstanding share capital of designated public corporations. In addition, designated public corporations may set a limit on the acquisition of shares by a single person in their articles of
incorporation. If a foreign investor acquires 10% or more of the outstanding shares with voting rights of a Korean company, that investment constitutes a “foreign direct investment” under the Foreign Investment Promotion Act of Korea. Generally, a foreign direct investment must be reported to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of Korea. The acquisition of a Korean company’s shares by a foreign investor may be subject to certain foreign or other shareholding restrictions in the event that the restrictions are prescribed in a specific law that regulates the business of the Korean company. For a description of the restrictions applicable to Korean banks, see “—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks.”
Under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws, a foreign investor who intends to acquire shares must designate a foreign exchange bank at which he must open a foreign currency account and a Won account exclusively for stock investments. Approval is not required for remittance into Korea and deposit of foreign currency funds in the foreign currency account. Foreign currency funds may be transferred from the foreign currency account at the time required to place a deposit for, or settle the purchase price of, a stock purchase transaction to a Won account opened at a financial investment company with a dealing and/or brokerage license. Funds in the foreign currency account may be remitted abroad without any Korean governmental approval.
Dividends on shares of Korean companies are paid in Won. Korean governmental approval is not required for foreign investors to receive dividends on, or the Won proceeds from the sale of, any shares to be paid, received and retained in Korea. Dividends paid on, and the Won proceeds of the sale of, any shares held by anon-resident of Korea must be deposited either in a Won account with the investor’s financial investment company with a dealing and/or brokerage license or in its own Won account. Funds in a foreign investor’s Won account may be transferred to its foreign currency account or withdrawn for local living expenses up to certain limits. These funds may also be used to make future investments in shares or to pay the subscription price of new shares obtained through the exercise ofpre-emptive rights.
Financial investment companies with a dealing or brokerage license may open foreign currency accounts with foreign exchange banks exclusively to accommodate foreign investors’ stock investments in Korea. Through these accounts, financial investment companies with a dealing or brokerage license may enter into limited foreign exchange transactions, such as converting foreign currency funds and Won funds, either as a counterparty to or on behalf of foreign investors, without the investors having to open their own accounts with foreign exchange banks.

We may issue the unissued shares without further shareholder approval, but these issuances are subject to a board resolution as provided in the articles of incorporation.

Our board of directors may also grant stock options exercisable for up to 1% of our issued and outstanding shares. However, any grant by our board of directors must be approved by our shareholders at their next general meeting convened immediately after the grant date.

Organization
We are a financial holding company established under the Financial Holding Company Act. We are registered with the commercial registry office of Seoul District Court.
Interests of Directors
Our articles of incorporation provide that any director who has a material interest in the subject matter of a resolution to be taken by the board of directors cannot vote on such resolution. Our articles of incorporation also provide that the remuneration of our directors is to be determined by the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders.
Our articles of incorporation do not contain any special provisions with respect to the borrowing powers exercisable by directors, their retirement age or a requirement to hold any shares of our capital stock.
See “Item 6.C. Board Practices” for more information on our directors.
Limitation on Liability of Directors
Our articles of incorporation provide that we may, upon the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders, limit the liability of our directors (in their capacity as such) to an amount not less than six times (or three times in case of outside directors) the aggregate amount of the remuneration we paid to such directors during the most recentone-year period, provided that such limitation shall not apply with regard to any liability arising from such directors’ gross negligence, willful misconduct or violation of their duties regarding self-dealing or corporate opportunity.
Dividends and Other Distributions
Dividends. We distribute dividends to shareholders in proportion to the number of shares of the relevant class of capital stock they own. Subject to the requirements of the Korean Commercial Code and other applicable laws and regulations, we expect to pay full annual dividends on newly issued stock for the year in which it is issued.
We declare our dividend annually at the annual general meeting of shareholders. We generally hold this meeting within three months after the end of each fiscal year. We must pay the annual dividend to the shareholders of record as of the end of the preceding fiscal year within one month after that meeting. We can distribute the annual dividend in (i) cash, (ii) shares, provided that such shares must be distributed at par value and, if the market price of the shares is less than their par value, dividends in shares may not exceedone-half of the total annual dividend (including dividends in shares) or (iii) other forms of consideration. In addition, we may declare, and distribute in cash, interim dividends once a year pursuant to a board resolution.
Under the Korean Commercial Code and our articles of incorporation, we do not have an obligation to pay any annual or interim dividend unclaimed for five years from the payment date.
The Financial Holding Company Act and related regulations require that each time a Korean financial holding company pays an annual dividend, it must set aside in its legal reserve to stated capital an amount equal to at leastone-tenth of its net income after tax until the amount set aside reaches at least the aggregate amount of its stated capital. Unless it sets aside this amount, a Korean financial holding company may not pay an annual dividend. We intend to set aside allowances for loan losses and reserves for severance pay in addition to this legal reserve.
For information regarding taxation of dividends, see “Item 10.E. Taxation—United States Taxation—Dividends” and “—Korean Taxation—Taxation of Dividends on Common Shares or ADSs.”
Distribution of Free Shares. The Korean Commercial Code permits us to pay dividends in the form of shares out of retained or current earnings. It also permits us to distribute to our shareholders, in the form of free shares, an amount transferred from the capital surplus or legal reserve. We would be required to distribute those free shares pro rata to all shareholders.
Pre-emptive Rights and Issuances of Additional Shares
We may issue authorized but unissued shares as our board of directors may determine, unless otherwise provided in the Korean Commercial Code. We must, however, offer any new shares on uniform terms to all
shareholders who have preemptive rights and are listed on our shareholders’ register as of the applicable record date. Those shareholders are entitled to subscribe for any newly issued shares in proportion to their existing shareholdings. Our articles of incorporation provide, however, that we may issue new shares to persons other than existing shareholders if those shares are:
publicly offered pursuant to Article165-6 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act (where the number of shares so offered may not exceed 50% of our total number of issued shares);
issued to directors or employees as a result of the exercise of stock options we granted to them pursuant to Article542-3 of the Korean Commercial Code;
issued to the members of our employee stock ownership association pursuant to Article165-7 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act;
issued to specified foreign investors or foreign or domestic financial institutions for managerial needs, strategic technology alliances, emergency financing ordebt-to-equity swaps by those financial institutions (where the number of shares so offered may not exceed 50% of our total number of issued shares); or
issued to a depositary for the purpose of issuing depositary receipts pursuant to Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act (where the number of shares so offered may not exceed 50% of our total number of issued shares).
We must give public notice ofpre-emptive rights for new shares and their transferability not less than two weeks before the record date (excluding the period during which the shareholders’ register is closed). We will notify the shareholders who are entitled to subscribe for newly issued shares of the deadline for subscription at least two weeks prior to the deadline. If a shareholder fails to subscribe on or before the deadline, itspre-emptive pre- emptive rights will lapse. Our board of directors may determine how to distribute shares in respect of which preemptive rights have not been exercised or where fractions of shares occur.
Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, each member of our employee stock ownership association, whether or not they are shareholders, has a preemptive right, subject to certain exceptions, to subscribe for up to 20% of any shares we publicly offer. This right is exercisable only so long as the total number of shares so acquired and held by the member does not exceed 20% of the total number of shares then outstanding. As of December 31, 2019,2020, our employees owned 6.53%8.4% of our common stock through the employee stock ownership association.
In addition, our articles of incorporation permit us to issue convertible bonds or bonds with warrants, each up to an aggregate principal amount of ￦1￦2 trillion, to persons other than existing shareholders.Undershareholders. Under the Korean Commercial Code, we are permitted to distribute convertible bonds or bonds with warrants to persons other than existing shareholders only when we deem that this distribution is necessary for managerial purposes, such as obtaining new technology or improving our financial condition. In the event we issue new shares, the foregoing provision would be applicable notwithstanding any provision in the articles of incorporation allowing issuance of new shares to persons other than existing shareholders. In addition, pursuant to our articles of incorporation and the Act on Electronic Registration of Stocks, Bonds, Etc., in lieu of issuing certificates for bonds, share-related bonds (e.g., convertible bonds and bonds with warrants) and contingent capital securities, we electronically register rights to be indicated on such certificates on the electronic registry of the electronic registration agency. As of the date of this annual report, we have no convertible bonds or bonds with warrants outstanding.
Voting Rights
Each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share. However, voting rights with respect to shares of common stock that we hold or any of our subsidiaries holds may not be exercised. Unless stated otherwise in a company’s articles of incorporation, the Korean Commercial Code permits holders of an aggregate of 1% or more of the issued and outstanding shares with voting rights to request cumulative voting when electing two or more directors. Our articles of incorporation do not prohibit cumulative voting.
The Korean Commercial Code and our articles of incorporation provide that an ordinary resolution may be adopted if approval is obtained from the holders of at least a majority of those shares of common stock present or represented at a meeting and such majority also represents at leastone-fourth of the total of our issued and outstanding voting shares. Holders ofnon-voting shares (other than enfranchisednon-voting shares) will not be entitled to vote on any resolution or to receive notice of any general meeting of shareholders, unless the agenda of the meeting includes consideration of a resolution on which such holders are entitled to vote. The Korean Commercial Code provides that a company’s articles of incorporation may prescribe conditions for the
enfranchisement ofnon-voting shares. For example, if our annual general shareholders’ meeting resolves not to pay to holders ofnon-voting shares with preferred dividend the annual dividend as determined by the board of directors at the time of issuance of such shares, the holders ofnon-voting shares with preferred dividend will be entitled to exercise voting rights from the general shareholders’ meeting following the meeting adopting such resolution to the end of a meeting to declare to pay such dividend with respect to thenon-voting shares with preferred dividend. Holders of such enfranchisednon-voting shares with preferred dividend will have the same rights as holders of common stock to request, receive notice of, attend and vote at a general meeting of shareholders.
The Korean Commercial Code provides that to amend the articles of incorporation, which is also required for any change to the authorized share capital of a company, and in certain other instances, including removal of a director of a company, dissolution, merger or consolidation of a company, transfer of the whole or a significant part of the business of a company, acquisition of all of the business of any other company, acquisition of a part of the business of any other company having a material effect on the business of the company or issuance of new shares at a price lower than their par value, a special resolution must be adopted by the approval of the holders of atleast two-thirds of those shares present or represented at a meeting and such special majority must represent atleast one-third of the total issued and outstanding shares with voting rights of the company.
In addition, in the case of amendments to the articles of incorporation or any merger or consolidation of a company or in certain other cases, where the rights or interest of the holders of class shares are adversely affected, a resolution must be adopted by a separate meeting of holders of class shares. Such a resolution may be adopted if the approval is obtained from shareholders of at leasttwo-thirds of the class shares present or represented at such meeting and such shares also represent at leastone-third of the total issued and outstanding class shares.
A shareholder may exercise his voting rights by proxy given to another person. The proxy must present the power of attorney prior to the start of a meeting of shareholders.
Liquidation Rights
If we are liquidated, the assets remaining after the payment of all our debts, liquidation expenses and taxes will be distributed to the shareholders in proportion to the number of shares held by them. Holders of class shares have no preferences in liquidation.
General Meetings of Shareholders
There are two types of general meetings of shareholders: (1) annual general meetings and (2) extraordinary general meetings. We are required to convene our annual general meeting within three months after the end of each fiscal year. Subject to a board resolution or court approval, an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders may be held when necessary or at the request of the holders of an aggregate of 3% or more of our outstanding shares, or the holders of an aggregate of 0.75% or more of our outstanding stock with voting rights, who have held those shares for at least six months, under the Act on the Corporate Governance of Financial Companies andits sub-regulations.
Under the Korean Commercial Code, an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders may also be convened at the request of our audit committee, subject to a board resolution or court approval. Holdersof non-voting shares may be entitled to request a general meeting of shareholders only to the extentthe non-voting shares have become enfranchised as described under the section entitled “—Voting Rights”
above, hereinafter referred to as“enfranchised non-voting shares.” Meeting agendas will be determined by the board of directors or proposed by holders of an aggregate of 3% or more of the outstanding shares with voting rights or by holders of an aggregate of 0.1% or more of our issued and outstanding shares with voting rights, who have held those shares for at least six months, by way of a written proposal to the board of directors at least six weeks prior to the meeting, under the Act on the Corporate Governance of Financial Companies and itssub-regulations. Written noticesor e-mail notices stating the date, place and agenda of the meeting must be given to the shareholders at least two weeks prior to the date of the general meeting of shareholders. Notice may,
however, be given to holders of 1% or less of the total number of issued and outstanding shares which are entitled to vote, either by placing at least two public notices at least two weeks in advance of the meeting in at least two daily newspapers or by placing a notice through the electronic disclosure system operated by the Financial Supervisory Service or the Korea Exchange. Shareholders who are not on the shareholders’ register as of the record date will not be entitled to receive notice of the general meeting of shareholders, and they will not be entitled to attend or vote at such meeting. Holders ofenfranchised non-voting shares who are on the shareholders’ register as of the record date will be entitled to receive notice of the general meeting of shareholders and they will be entitled to attend and vote at such meeting. Otherwise, holdersof non-voting shares will not be entitled to receive notice of or vote at general meetings of shareholders.
The general meeting of shareholders will be held at our head office, which is our registered head office, or, if necessary, may be held anywhere in the vicinity of our head office.
Rights of Dissenting Shareholders
Pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and the Act on the Structural Improvement of the Structure of the Financial Industry, in certain limited circumstances (including, without limitation, if we transfer all or any significant part of our business, if we acquire a part of the business of any other company and such acquisition has a material effect on our business, or if we merge or consolidate with another company), dissenting holders of shares of our common stock and our stock with preferred dividends will have the right to require us to purchase their shares. To exercise such a right, shareholders must submit to us a written notice of their dissent by the day prior to the general meeting of shareholders. Within 20 days (10 days in the case of a stock transfer or exchange to establish a financial holding company or to own all issued shares of a subsidiary under the Financial Holding Company Act) after the date on which the relevant resolution is passed at such meeting, such dissenting shareholders must request in writing that we purchase their shares. We are obligated to purchase the shares from dissenting shareholders within one month after the end of such request period at a price to be determined by negotiation between us and the shareholder. If we cannot agree on a price with the shareholder through such negotiations, the purchase price will be the arithmetic mean of (x) the weighted average of the closing share prices on the KRX KOSPI Market forthe two-month period prior to the date of the adoption of the relevant board of directors’ resolution, (y) the weighted average of the closing share prices on the KRX KOSPI Market forthe one-month period prior to the date of the adoption of the relevant board of directors’ resolution and (z) the weighted average of the closing share prices on the KRX KOSPI Market forthe one-week period prior to the date of the adoption of the relevant board of directors’ resolution. However, any dissenting shareholder who wishes to contest the purchase price may bring a claim in court.
Required Disclosure of Ownership
Any person who directly or beneficially owns shares of our common stock that have voting rights, whether in the form of shares, ADSs, certificates representing the rights to subscribe for shares or equity-related debt securities (including convertible bonds and bonds with warrants) (which we refer to collectively as “Equity Securities”) that, when taken together with the Equity Securities beneficially owned by specified related persons or by any person acting in concert with that person, account for 5% or more of our total issued and outstanding shares (plus the Equity Securities other than the shares held by such persons and treasury stock)on a fully diluted basis must report that holding to the Financial Services Commission and the KRX KOSPI Market no more than five business days after reaching 5%. That person must also report any subsequent change in the ownership interest of 1% or more of our total issued and outstanding shares (plus the Equity Securities other than the shares held by such persons)on a fully diluted basis to the same entities no more than five business days after the change.
Anyone violating these reporting requirements may suffer criminal sanctions, including fines, imprisonment, an administrative fine of up to 0.001% of the aggregate market value of total issued and outstanding stock of ￦500 million, whichever is lower, and/or a loss of voting rights with respect to the ownership of Equity Securities exceeding 5% of the total issued and outstanding Equity Securities with respect to which the reporting requirements were violated. Furthermore, the Financial Services Commission may order that person to dispose of the unreported Equity Securities.
In addition to the reporting requirements described above, any person whose direct or beneficial ownership of our stock accounts for 10% or more of the total issued and outstanding stock (which we refer to as a “major shareholder”) must report the status of its shareholding to the Korea Securities Futures Commission and the KRX KOSPI Market within five days after becoming a major shareholder. Also, the major shareholder must report any subsequent change in its ownership interest to those same entities within five days of the occurrence of the change, unless the change in the number of shares is less than 1,000 shares and the amount involved in such change is less than ￦10 million. A major shareholder that violates these reporting requirements may suffer criminal sanctions, including fines or imprisonment.
Other Provisions
Record Date. The record date for annual dividends is December 31. For the purpose of determining the holders of shares entitled to annual dividends, the register of shareholders will be closed for the period beginning from January 1 and ending on January 31. Further, the Korean Commercial Code and our articles of incorporation permit us, upon at least two weeks’ public notice, to set a record date and/or close the register of shareholders for not more than three months for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to certain rights pertaining to the shares. However, in the event that the register of shareholders is closed for the period beginning from January 1 and ending on January 31 for the purpose of determining the holders of shares entitled to attend the annual general meeting of shareholders, the Korean Commercial Code waives the requirement to provide at least two weeks’ public notice. The trading of shares and the delivery of certificates in respect thereof may continue while the register of shareholders is closed.
Annual and Interim Reports. At least one week before the annual general meeting of shareholders, we must make our annual report and audited financial statements available for inspection at our head office and at all of our branch offices. Copies of this report, the audited financial statements and any resolutions adopted at the general meeting of shareholders are available to our shareholders.
Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, we must file with the Financial Services Commission and the KRX KOSPI Market an annual business report within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, a half-year business report within 45 days after the end of the first six months of each fiscal year and quarterly business reports within 45 days after the end of the first three months and nine months of each fiscal year. Copies of such business reports will be available for public inspection at the Financial Services Commission and the KRX KOSPI Market.
Transfer of Shares. Under the Korean Commercial Code, the transfer of shares is effected by the delivery of share certificates. The Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act provides, however, that in case of a company listed on the KRX KOSPI Market such as us, share transfers can be effected by the book-entry method. In order to assert shareholders’ rights against us, the transferee must have his name and address registered on the register of shareholders. For this purpose, shareholders are required to file with us their name, address andseal. Non-resident shareholders must notify us of the name of their proxy in Korea to which notices can be sent.
Under current Korean regulations, the Korea Securities Depository, internationally recognized foreign custodians, financial investment companies with a dealing license (including domestic branches of foreign financial investment companies with such license), financial investment companies with a brokerage license (including domestic branches of foreign financial investment companies with such license), foreign exchange banks (including domestic branches of foreign banks) and financial investment companies with a collective investment license (including domestic branches of foreign financial investment companies with such license) may act as agents and provide related services for foreign shareholders.
In addition, foreign shareholders may appoint a standing proxy among the foregoing and generally may not allow any person other than the standing proxy to exercise rights to the acquired shares or perform any tasks related thereto on their behalf. Certain foreign exchange controls and securities regulations apply to the transfer of sharesby non-residents or non-Koreans. See “Item 9.A. Offering and Listing Details” and “Item 10.D. Exchange Controls.” Except as provided in the Financial Holding Company Act, the ceiling on the aggregate
shareholdings of a single shareholder and persons who stand in a special relationship with such shareholder is 10% of our issued and outstanding voting shares. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies—Restrictions on Ownership of a Financial Holding Company.”
Our Acquisition of Our Shares. Under the Korean Commercial Code, we may acquire our own shares upon a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders by either (i) purchasing them on a stock exchange or (ii) purchasing a number of shares, other than redeemable shares as set forth in Article 345, Paragraph (1) of the Korean Commercial Code, from each shareholder in proportion to their existing shareholding ratio through the methods set forth in the Presidential Decree, provided that the total purchase price does not exceed the amount of our profit that may be distributed as dividends in respect of the immediately preceding fiscal year.
Additionally, pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and regulations under the Financial Holding Company Act and after submission of certain reports to the Financial Services Commission, we may purchase our own shares on the KRX KOSPI Market or through a tender offer, subject to the restrictions that (i) the aggregate purchase price of such shares may not exceed the total amount available for distribution of dividends at the end of the preceding fiscal year; and (ii) the purchase of such shares shall meet the risk-weighted capital adequacy ratio requirements prescribed in the regulations under the Financial Holding Company Act based on Bank for International Settlements standards.
Subject to certain limited exceptions, our subsidiaries will not be permitted to acquire our shares pursuant to the Financial Holding Company Act.
| Item 10.C. | Material Contracts |
In July 2019, in connection with the KDIC’s ownership of shares of our common stock, we entered into an agreement with the KDIC, which we refer to as the KDIC Agreement. Pursuant to the KDIC Agreement, we are required to use our best efforts to cause an employee of the KDIC nominated by it to be appointed as anon-standing director of each of us and Woori Bank, so long as the KDIC either (x) owns 10% or more of our total issued shares with voting rights or (y) owns more than 4% but less than 10% of our total issued shares with voting rights and remains our largest shareholder (other than the National Pension Service of Korea). In addition, pursuant to the KDIC Agreement, we are required to use our best efforts to cause suchnon-standing director nominated by the KDIC to be appointed as a member of the Compensation Committee under each of the board of directors of us and Woori Bank, so long as the KDIC owns 10% or more of our total issued shares with voting rights. Furthermore, so long as the KDIC owns 4% or more of our total issued shares with voting rights, the KDIC Agreement requires us to provide certain information in advance to the KDIC, including the agenda and minutes for meetings of our board of directors, information regarding our retained earnings available for distribution of dividends, and information regarding matters that could have a material effect on the KDIC’s remaining share ownership interest in us, such as capital increases or decreases, changes in our corporate governance, changes in the lines of business of our subsidiaries and material dispositions or acquisitions of assets. The KDIC Agreement provides that it will automatically terminate if the KDIC ceases to own 4% or more of our total issued shares with voting rights.
| Item 10.D. | Exchange Controls |
General
The Foreign Exchange Transaction Act of Korea and the Enforcement Decree and regulations under that Act regulate investment in Korean securities bynon-residents and issuance of securities outside Korea by Korean companies. We collectively refer to these laws and regulations as the “Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws.”
Non-residents may invest in Korean securities only to the extent specifically allowed by the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws or otherwise permitted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance. The Financial Services Commission has also adopted regulations that restrict foreign investment in Korean securities and regulate the issuance of securities outside Korea by Korean companies, pursuant to its authority under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.
Under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws, if the Korean government deems that:
the need to do so is inevitable due to the outbreak of natural calamities, wars, conflict of arms or grave and sudden changes in domestic or foreign economic circumstances or other similar situations, the Ministry of Economy and Finance may temporarily suspend payment, receipt or the whole or part of transactions to which the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws apply, or impose an obligation to safe-keep, deposit or sell means of payment in or to certain Korean governmental agencies or financial institutions; and
international balance of payments and international finance are confronted or are likely to be confronted with serious difficulty or the movement of capital between Korea and abroad brings or is likely to bring about serious obstacles in carrying out its currency policies, exchange rate policies and other macroeconomic policies, the Ministry of Economy and Finance may take measures to require any person who intends to perform capital transactions to obtain permission or to require any person who performs capital transactions to deposit part of the payments received in these transactions at certain Korean governmental agencies or financial institutions.
Both of these actions are subject to limitations specified by the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws.
Restrictions Applicable to Shares
Under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws, a foreign investor who intends to acquire shares must designate a foreign exchange bank at which he or she must open a foreign currency account and a Won account exclusively for stock investments. Approval is not required for remittance into Korea and deposit of foreign currency funds in the foreign currency account. Foreign currency funds may be transferred from the foreign currency account at the time required to place a deposit for, or settle the purchase price of, a stock purchase transaction to a Won account opened at a financial investment company with a dealing and/or brokerage license. Funds in the foreign currency account may be remitted abroad without any Korean governmental approval.
Dividends on shares of Korean companies are paid in Won. Korean governmental approval is not required for foreign investors to receive dividends on, or the Won proceeds from the sale of, any shares to be paid, received and retained in Korea. Dividends paid on, and the Won proceeds of the sale of, any shares held by anon-resident of Korea must be deposited either in a Won account with the investor’s financial investment company with a dealing and/or brokerage license or in its own Won account. Funds in a foreign investor’s Won account may be transferred to its foreign currency account or withdrawn for local living expenses up to certain limits. These funds may also be used to make future investments in shares or to pay the subscription price of new shares obtained through the exercise ofpre-emptive rights.
Financial investment companies with a dealing and/or brokerage license may open foreign currency accounts with foreign exchange banks exclusively to accommodate foreign investors’ stock investments in Korea. Through these accounts, such financial investment companies may enter into limited foreign exchange transactions, such as converting foreign currency funds and Won funds, either as a counterparty to or on behalf of foreign investors, without the investors having to open their own accounts with foreign exchange banks.
| Item 10.E. | Taxation |
The following summary is based upon tax laws, regulations, rulings, decrees, income tax conventions (treaties), administrative practice and judicial decisions of Korea and the United States as of the date of this annual report, and is subject to any change in the laws of Korea or the United States that may come into effect after such date.
United States Taxation
This summary describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences for a U.S. holder (as defined below) of acquiring, owning, and disposing of common shares or ADSs. This summary applies to you only if you
hold the common shares or ADSs as capital assets for tax purposes. This summary does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:
a dealer in securities or currencies;
a trader in securities that elects to use amark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings;
a bank or financial institution;
a life insurance company;
atax-exempt organization;
an entity treated as a partnership or other passthrough entity (or investors therein) for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
a person that holds common shares or ADSs that are a hedge or that are hedged against interest rate or currency risks;
a person that holds common shares or ADSs as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes;
a person whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar; or
a person that owns or is deemed to own 10% or more of our stock, measured by voting power or value.
In addition, this summary does not discuss the application of the U.S. federal estate and gift taxes, the Medicare net investment income tax or the alternative minimum tax, or any state, local or other tax consequences of purchasing, owning, and disposing of common shares or ADSs. You should consult your own tax advisers concerning the U.S. federal, state, local, and other tax consequences of purchasing, owning, and disposing of common shares or ADSs in your particular circumstances.
This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations promulgated thereunder, and published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.
For purposes of this summary, you are a “U.S. holder” if you are the beneficial owner of a common share or an ADS and are:
a citizen or resident of the United States;
a U.S. domestic corporation; or
otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis with respect to income from the common share or ADS.
In general, if you are the beneficial owner of ADSs, you will be treated as the beneficial owner of the common shares represented by those ADSs for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no gain or loss will be recognized if you exchange an ADS for the common share represented by that ADS.
Dividends
The gross amount of cash dividends that you receive (prior to deduction of Korean taxes) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation as foreign source dividend income and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction. Dividends paid in Won will be included in your income in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date that you receive the dividend (or the depositary receives the dividend, in the case of ADSs), regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If such a dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, you generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income.
Subject to certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, the U.S. dollar amount of dividends received by an individual with respect to our common shares or ADSs will be subject to taxation at reduced rates
if the dividends are “qualified dividends.” Dividends paid on the common shares or ADSs will be treated as qualified dividends if (i) the common shares or ADSs are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or we are eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States that the U.S. Treasury determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and that includes an exchange of information program; and (ii) we were not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a passive foreign investment company as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which we refer to as a PFIC. The ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and will qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States so long as they are so listed. In addition, the U.S. Treasury has determined that the Korea-United States income tax treaty meets the requirements for reduced rates of taxation, and we believe we are eligible for the benefits of that treaty. Based on our audited financial statements, we believe that we were not a PFIC in our 20182019 and 20192020 taxable years. In addition, based on our current expectations regarding our income, assets and activities, we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC for our 20202021 taxable year. Therefore, we believe that dividends received by U.S. holders with respect to either common shares or ADSs will be “qualified dividends.” Holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in light of their own particular circumstances.
Distributions of additional shares in respect of common shares or ADSs that are made as part of apro-rata distribution to all of our shareholders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.
Sale or Other Disposition
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, gain or loss you realize on a sale or other disposition of common shares or ADSs generally will be treated as U.S. source capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the common shares or ADSs were held for more than one year. Your ability to offset capital losses against ordinary income is limited. Long-term capital gain recognized by an individual U.S. holder generally is subject to taxation at reduced rates.
If a U.S. holder sells or otherwise disposes of our common shares or ADSs in exchange for currency other than U.S. dollars, the amount realized generally will be the U.S. dollar value of the currency received at the spot rate on the date of sale or other disposition (or, if the shares are traded on an established securities market at such time, in the case of cash basis and electing accrual basis U.S. holders, the settlement date). An accrual basis U.S. holder that does not elect to determine the amount realized using the spot exchange rate on the settlement date will recognize foreign currency gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount received based on the spot exchange rates in effect on the date of the sale or other disposition and the settlement date. If an accrual basis U.S. holder makes the election described in the first sentence of this paragraph, it must be applied consistently from year to year and cannot be revoked without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service, , or the IRS. A U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisors regarding the treatment of any foreign currency gain or loss realized with respect to any currency received in a sale or other disposition of the common shares or ADSs.
Foreign Tax Credit Considerations
You should consult your own tax advisers to determine whether you are subject to any special rules that limit your ability to make effective use of foreign tax credits. If no such rules apply, you may claim a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability for Korean taxes withheld from dividends on the common shares or ADSs at the rate provided for under the income tax treaty between the United States and Korea, so long as you have owned the common shares or ADSs (and not entered into specified kinds of hedging transactions) for at least a16-day period that includes theex-dividend date. Instead of claiming a credit, you may, if you so elect, deduct such Korean taxes in computing your taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. tax law. Korean taxes withheld from a distribution of additional shares that is not subject to U.S. tax may be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as imposed on “foreign branch” category income. Such treatment could affect your ability to utilize any available foreign tax credit in respect of such taxes.
Any Korean securities transaction tax or agriculture and fishery special surtax that you pay will not be creditable for foreign tax credit purposes.
Similarly, a U.S. holder will not be able to claim a foreign tax credit against its U.S. federal income tax liability for any Korean inheritance or gift tax imposed in respect of the common shares or ADSs.
Foreign tax credits will not be allowed for withholding taxes imposed in respect of certain short-term or hedged positions in securities and may not be allowed in respect of arrangements in which a U.S. holder’s expected economic profit is insubstantial.
The calculation of foreign tax credits and, in the case of a U.S. holder that elects to deduct foreign taxes, the availability of deductions involve the application of complex rules that depend on a U.S. holder’s particular circumstances. You should consult your own tax advisers regarding the creditability or deductibility of such taxes.
Specified Foreign Financial Assets
Certain U.S. holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of US$50,000 on the last day of the taxable year or US$75,000 at any time during the taxable year are generally required to file an information statement along with their tax returns, currently on IRS Form 8938, with respect to such assets. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts held at anon-U.S. financial institution, as well as securities issued by anon-U.S. issuer (which would include the common shares and ADSs) that are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions. Higher reporting thresholds apply to certain individuals living abroad and to certain married individuals. Regulations extend this reporting requirement to certain entities that are treated as formed or availed of to hold direct or indirect interests in specified foreign financial assets based on certain objective criteria. U.S. holders who fail to report the required information could be subject to substantial penalties. In addition, the statute of limitations for assessment of tax would be suspended, in whole or part. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of these rules to their investment in the common shares or ADSs, including the application of the rules to their particular circumstances.
U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Rules
Payments of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries are subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding unless the holder (i) is a corporation or other exempt recipient and demonstrates this when required or (ii) provides a taxpayer identification number and certifies that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred. Holders that are not U.S. persons generally are not subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, such a holder may be required to provide a certification of itsnon-U.S. status in connection with payments received within the United States or through a U.S.-related financial intermediary.
Korean Taxation
The following summary of Korean tax considerations applies to you so long as you are not:
a resident of Korea;
a corporation with its head office, principal place of business or place of effective management in Korea; or
engaged in a trade or business in Korea through a permanent establishment or a fixed base to which the relevant income is attributable or with which the relevant income is effectively connected.
Please consult your own tax advisers as to the Korean, state, local and other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of common shares.
Taxation of Dividends on Common Shares or ADSs
We will deduct Korean withholding tax from dividends paid to you (whether payable in cash or in shares) at a rate of 22.0% (inclusive of local income surtax). If you are a qualified resident and a beneficial owner of the
dividends in a country that has entered into a tax treaty with Korea, you may qualify for a reduced rate of Korean withholding tax. See “—Tax Treaties” below for a discussion on treaty benefits. If we distribute to you free shares representing a transfer of earning surplus or certain capital reserves intopaid-in capital, that distribution may be subject to Korean withholding tax.
Taxation of Capital Gains from Transfer of Common Shares or ADSs
As a general rule, capital gains earned bynon-residents upon transfer of our common shares or ADSs are subject to Korean withholding tax at the lower of (1) 11.0% (inclusive of local income surtax) of the gross proceeds realized or (2) subject to the production of satisfactory evidence of acquisition costs and certain direct transaction costs of the common shares or ADSs, 22.0% (inclusive of local income surtax) of the net realized gain, unless exempt from Korean income taxation under the applicable Korean tax treaty with thenon-resident’s country of tax residence. See “—Tax Treaties” below for a discussion on treaty benefits. Even if you do not qualify for an exemption under a tax treaty, you will not be subject to the foregoing withholding tax on capital gains if you qualify under the relevant Korean domestic tax law exemptions discussed in the following paragraphs.
In regard to the transfer of our common shares through the Korea Exchange, you will not be subject to the withholding tax on capital gains (as described in the preceding paragraph) if you (1) have no permanent establishment in Korea and (2) did not own or have not owned (together with any shares owned by any person with which you have a certain special relationship) 25% or more of the total issued and outstanding shares, which may include the common shares represented by the ADSs, at any time during the calendar year in which the sale occurs and during the five consecutive calendar years prior to the calendar year in which the sale occurs.
Under Korean tax law, ADSs are viewed as shares of common stock for capital gains tax purposes. Accordingly, capital gains from the sale or disposition of ADSs are taxed (if such sale or disposition constitutes a taxable event) as if such gains are from the sale or disposition of the underlying common shares. Capital gains that you earn (regardless of whether you have a permanent establishment in Korea) from a transfer of ADSs outside of Korea will generally be exempt from Korean income taxation by virtue of the Special Tax Treatment Control Law of Korea, or the STTCL, provided that the issuance of the ADSs is deemed to be an overseas issuance under the STTCL. However, if you transfer ADSs after having converted the underlying common shares, such exemption under the STTCL will not apply and you will be required to file a corporate income tax return and pay tax in Korea with respect to any capital gains derived from such transfer unless the purchaser or a financial investment company with a brokerage license, as applicable, withholds and pays such tax.
If you are subject to tax on capital gains with respect to the sale of ADSs, or of our common shares you acquired as a result of a withdrawal, the purchaser or, in the case of the sale of the common shares on the Korea Exchange or through a financial investment company with a brokerage license in Korea, such financial investment company, is required to withhold Korean tax on capital gain from the sales price in an amount equal to the lower of (1) 11.0% (inclusive of local income surtax) of the gross realization proceeds or (2) subject to the production of satisfactory evidence of acquisition costs and certain direct transaction costs of the common shares or ADSs, 22.0% (inclusive of local income surtax) of the net realized gain, and to make payment of these amounts to the Korean tax authority, unless you establish your entitlement to an exemption under an applicable tax treaty or domestic tax law. See “—Tax Treaties” below for a discussion on claiming treaty benefits.
Tax Treaties
Korea has entered into a number of income tax treaties with other countries (including the United States), which would reduce or exempt Korean withholding tax on dividends on, and capital gains on transfer of, the common shares or ADSs. For example, under the Korea-United States income tax treaty, reduced rates of Korean
withholding tax of 16.5% or 11.0% (depending on your shareholding ratio and inclusive of local income surtax) on dividends and an exemption from Korean withholding tax on capital gains are available to residents of the United States that are beneficial owners of the relevant dividend income or capital gains, subject to certain exceptions. However, under Article 17 (Investment or Holding Companies) of the Korea-United States income
tax treaty, such reduced rates and exemption do not apply if (i) you are a United States corporation, (ii) by reason of any special measures, the tax imposed on you by the United States with respect to such dividend income or capital gains is substantially less than the tax generally imposed by the United States on corporate profits and (iii) 25% or more of your capital is held of record or is otherwise determined, after consultation between competent authorities of the United States and Korea, to be owned directly or indirectly by one or more persons who are not individual residents of the United States. Also, under Article 16 (Capital Gains) of the Korea-United States income tax treaty, the exemption on capital gains does not apply if (a) you have a permanent establishment in Korea and any shares of common stock in which you hold an interest and which give rise to capital gains are effectively connected to such permanent establishment, (b) you are an individual and you maintain a fixed base in Korea for an aggregate of 183 days or more during a given taxable year and your ADSs or common shares giving rise to capital gains are effectively connected with such fixed base or (c) you are an individual and you are present in Korea for an aggregate of 183 days or more during a given taxable year.
You should inquire for yourself whether you are entitled to the benefit of a tax treaty between Korea and the country where you are a resident. It is the responsibility of the party claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty in respect of dividend payments or capital gains to submit to us, the purchaser or the financial investment company, as applicable, a certificate as to his tax residence. In the absence of sufficient proof, we, the purchaser or the financial investment company, as applicable, must withhold tax at the normal rates. Furthermore, in order for you to claim the benefit of a tax rate reduction or tax exemption on certain Korean source income (such as dividends or capital gains) under an applicable tax treaty, Korean tax law requires you (or your agent) to submit an application (for a reduced withholding tax rate, the “application for entitlement to a reduced tax rate,” and in the case of exemptions from withholding tax, the “application for tax exemption” along with a certificate of your tax residency issued by a competent authority of your country of tax residence, subject to certain exceptions) as the beneficial owner of such Korean source income, or a BO application. For example, a U.S. resident would be required to provide a Form 6166 as a certificate of tax residency together with the application for entitlement to reduced tax rate or the application for tax exemption. Such application should be submitted to the withholding agent prior to the payment date of the relevant income. Subject to certain exceptions, where the relevant income is paid to an overseas investment vehicle (which is not the beneficial owner of such income), or an OIV, a beneficial owner claiming the benefit of an applicable tax treaty with respect to such income must submit its BO application to such OIV, which must submit an OIV report and a schedule of beneficial owners (as well as the BO applications collected from each beneficial owner, if such beneficial owner is applying for a tax exemption) to the withholding agent prior to the payment date of such income. Effective January 1, 2020, an OIV that was not established for the purpose of unjustifiably reducing income tax liabilities in Korea and bears tax liabilities in the country of its residence is deemed to be a beneficial owner of Korean source income for income tax purposes. The benefits under a tax treaty between Korea and the country of such OIV’s residence will apply with respect to the relevant income paid to such OIV, subject to certain application requirements as prescribed by the Corporate Income Tax or Individual Income Tax Law. In the case of a tax exemption application, the withholding agent is required to submit such application (together with the applicable OIV report in the case of income paid to an OIV) to the relevant district tax office by the ninth day of the month following the date of the payment of such income.
Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax
If you die while holding an ADS or donate an ADS, it is unclear whether, for Korean inheritance tax and gift tax purposes, you will be treated as the owner of the common shares underlying the ADSs. If the tax authority interprets depositary receipts as the underlying share certificates, you may be treated as the owner of the common shares and your heir or the donee (or in certain circumstances, you as the donor) will be subject to Korean inheritance tax or gift tax presently at the rate of 10% to 50%, provided that the value of the ADSs or common shares is greater than a specified amount.
If you die while holding a common share or donate a common share, your heir or donee (or in certain circumstances, you as the donor) will be subject to Korean inheritance tax or gift tax at the same rate as indicated above.
At present, Korea has not entered into any tax treaty relating to inheritance or gift taxes.
Securities Transaction Tax
If you transfer our common shares on the Korea Exchange, you will be subject to securities transaction tax at the rate of 0.1%0.08% (if the transfer is made in 2021 or 2022) and an agriculture and fishery special surtax at the rate of 0.15% of the sale price of the common shares. If your transfer of the common shares is not made on the Korea Exchange, subject to certain exceptions, you will be subject to securities transaction tax at the rate of 0.45%0.43% (if the transfer is made in 2021 or 2022) and will not be subject to an agriculture and fishery special surtax.
Under the Securities Transaction Tax Law, depositary receipts (such as American depositary receipts) constitute share certificates subject to the securities transaction tax. However, the transfer of depositary receipts listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Market, or other qualified foreign exchanges is exempt from the securities transaction tax.
In principle, the securities transaction tax, if applicable, must be paid by the transferor of the common shares or ADSs. When the transfer is effected through a securities settlement company in Korea, such settlement company is generally required to withhold and pay the tax to the tax authorities. When such transfer is made through a financial investment company only, such financial investment company is required to withhold and pay the tax. Where the transfer is effected by anon-resident without a permanent establishment in Korea, other than through a securities settlement company or a financial investment company, the transferee is required to withhold the securities transaction tax.
Non-reporting or under-reporting of securities transaction tax will generally result in penalties equal to 20% to 60% of thenon-reported tax amount or 10% to 60% of under-reported tax amount. Also, a failure to timely pay securities transaction tax will result in a penalty equal to 9.125% per annum of the due but unpaid tax amount. The penalties are imposed on the party responsible for paying the securities transaction tax or, if such tax is required to be withheld, on the party that has the obligation to withhold.

Overview
As a financial services provider, we are exposed to various risks related to our lending and trading businesses, our funding activities and our operating environment, principally through Woori Bank, our banking subsidiary. Our goal in risk management is to ensure that we identify, measure, monitor and control the various risks that arise, and that our organization adheres strictly to the policies and procedures which we establish to address these risks. We seek to take a conservative approach to risk management in order to better insulate our operations from adverse events. Risks we face include:
credit risk;
market risk (primarily interest rate risk, equity risk, foreign exchange risk and commodity risk);
liquidity risk; and
operational and business risk (including legal risk).
We operate a standardized risk management system which enhances our risk management capabilities by enabling us to exchange information among our and our subsidiaries’ risk management operations. We have further strengthened our risk management systems by (i) using Tier I capital as “available capital” for purposes of our risk capital allocation to fulfill Basel III requirements, and (ii) including “stressed VaR” to our market risk capital calculations in accordance with the guidance of the Financial Supervisory Service. We use our risk management systems to manage our risks within acceptable limits and to otherwise ensure the soundness of our assets and the stability of our operations.
We allocate our total risk capital in accordance with the guidelines set by our Board Risk Management Committee. As described in more detail below, the committee allocates risk capital and approves the risk limit requests of our subsidiaries. Through our standardized risk management system, we allocate our risk capital:
with respect to our credit risk on the basis of a standardized approach as well as other portfolio credit models;
with respect to our market risk for trading activities based on a standardized method and the VaR method and stress testing for Woori Bank; and
with respect to our interest rate risk based on the IRRBB standard method (DEVE) on a group-wide basis, replacing the previous historical simulation method, which simulates the current portfolio’s net present value at a 99.9% confidence level for aone-year holding period for Woori Bank and a standardized method for our other subsidiaries, in accordance with the Basel Framework.methods; and
We allocate our risk capital
with respect to our operational risk through an advanced measurement approach for Woori Bank and a standardized approach for our other subsidiaries, in accordance with Basel II.III.
Our risk capital allocation by entity as a percentage of available capital, on anon-consolidated basis, with respect to 20202021 is as follows:

Organization
We have a multi-tiered risk management governance structure. Our Board Risk Management Committee is ultimately responsible for group-wide risk management, and directs the various subordinate risk management entities. The Group Risk Management Council answers to the Board Risk Management Committee and, together with the Group Risk Management Department, coordinates the execution of its directives with each Subsidiary Risk Management Department. Each Subsidiary Risk Management Committee, based on the Board Risk Management Committee’s directives, determines risk management strategies and implements risk management policies and guidelines for the relevant subsidiary, sets the subsidiary’s operational and business risk management policies and guidelines and directs the applicable Subsidiary Risk Management Department with support from the applicable Subsidiary Risk Management Council, but must keep within the risk guidelines of the Board Risk Management Committee. The Subsidiary Risk Management Committees generally receive input from their respective Subsidiary Risk Management Councils and Subsidiary Risk Management Departments.
The following chart sets out our risk management governance structure as of the date of this annual report:
We operate a “double report” system with respect to our risk management procedures. Each of our Subsidiary Risk Management Departments is required to submit risk management reports directly to the Group Risk Management Department. Through this internal reporting system, we are able to better ascertain and strengthen the monitoring of our subsidiaries’ risk management and are able to quickly address any deviation from our group-wide risk policies. We have further supplemented our double report system by strengthening the role and independence of chief risk officers in our subsidiaries and expanding the role of Subsidiary Risk
Management Departments. Each Subsidiary Risk Management Department is required to report directly to such subsidiary’s chief risk officer on all material risk management issues as well as following the procedures under the double report system.
The Board Risk Management Committee, the Group Risk Management Council, the Subsidiary Risk Management Committees and the Subsidiary Risk Management Councils are responsible for managing risks relating to credit, markets, asset and liability management and liquidity. Each Subsidiary Risk Management Department is generally responsible for managing operational risks at the relevant subsidiary, while the Audit Department coordinates the execution of our operational and business risk management policy, particularly with regard to internal subsidiary practices, and the Legal and Compliance Department monitors compliance risk and makes suggestions regarding regulatory issues to the Financial Supervisory Service.
Board Risk Management Committee
The Board Risk Management Committee is our highest decision-making body with respect to our risk management operations. Our board of directors has delegated to it the authority to oversee and make determinations on all significant issues relating to our risk management system. It implements policies regarding, monitors and has ultimate responsibility for managing credit, market and liquidity risk and for asset and liability management. The committee’s major activities include:
determining and amending risk management policies, guidelines and limits in conformity with the strategy established by the board of directors;
determining the appropriate level of risks that we should be willing to undertake, including in connection with key business activities such as acquisitions, investments or entering into new business areas, prior to a decision by the board of directors on such matters;
allocating risk capital to each subsidiary and approving the risk limits of our subsidiaries;
reviewing our group-wide risk profile, including the level of risks we are exposed to and the status of our risk management operations; and
monitoring our subsidiaries’ compliance with our risk policies.
The Board Risk Management Committee is composed of one standing director, onenon-standing director and three outside directors. It operates independently from all business groups and individual board members, and reports directly to our board of directors. We require the chairperson of the Board Risk Management Committee to be chosen from among the outside directors in order to enhance the independence and experience level of such chairperson. Our Board Risk Management Committee convenes at least quarterly, and makes decisions by a majority vote of the attending members. At least a majority of the committee members must attend to constitute a quorum.
Group Risk Management Council
Our Group Risk Management Council is responsible for coordinating with the Subsidiary Risk Management Departments to ensure that they execute the policies, guidelines and limits established by the Board Risk Management Committee. The Group Risk Management Council’s major activities include:
analyzing our risk status using information provided by the Subsidiary Risk Management Departments;
adjusting the integrated risk-adjusted capital allocation plan and risk limits for each of our subsidiaries;
reviewing the key decisions of each Subsidiary Risk Management Committee and discussing and resolving any risk management issues raised by those committees;
coordinating issues relating to the integration of our risk management functions; and
performing any other duties delegated by the Board Risk Management Committee.
The Group Risk Management Council consists of eighteleven members, including our chief risk officer and the chief risk officers of our subsidiaries. It operates independently from all business groups, and reports directly to the Board Risk Management Committee. The Group Risk Management Council convenes on a quarterly basis.
Our subsidiaries, in most cases through their respective Subsidiary Risk Management Departments, provide a variety of information to the Group Risk Management Council, including:
reports regarding the status of overall risk management, the status of limit compliance, and analysis and results of stress testing and back testing; and
reports regarding asset and liability management matters, including changes in risk-weighted assets and the status of our credit portfolio on a periodic basis.
Subsidiary Risk Management Committees
Each of our subsidiaries’ operating businesses that require risk management delegates risk management authority to its Subsidiary Risk Management Committee. Each Subsidiary Risk Management Committee measures and monitors the various risks faced by the relevant subsidiary and reports to that subsidiary’s board of directors regarding decisions that it makes on risk management issues. It also makes strategic decisions regarding the operations of the relevant subsidiary, such as allocating credit risk limits, setting total exposure limits and market risk-related limits and determining which market risk derivatives instruments the subsidiary can trade. The major activities of each Subsidiary Risk Management Committee include:
determining and monitoring risk policies, guidelines, limits and tolerance levels and the level of subsidiary risk in accordance with group policy, with the support of the relevant Subsidiary Risk Management Council;
reviewing and analyzing the subsidiary’s risk profile;
setting limits for and adjusting the risk-adjusted capital allocation plan and risk levels for each business group within the subsidiary; and
monitoring compliance with our group-wide risk management policies and practices at the business group and subsidiary level.
Subsidiary Risk Management Council
Each of our relevant subsidiaries has a Subsidiary Risk Management Council, which is responsible for supporting the relevant Subsidiary Risk Management Committee in the implementation of its risk management policies and guidelines for such subsidiary, including by reviewing and reporting on agenda items to be discussed at meetings of the relevant Subsidiary Risk Management Committee, reviewing reports from the relevant Subsidiary Risk Management Department and performing any other duties delegated by the relevant Subsidiary Risk Management Committee.
Each Subsidiary Risk Management Council is generally comprised of the subsidiary’s chief risk management officer, the head of its Subsidiary Risk Management Department and other executive officers responsible for such subsidiary’s risk management-related functions. It operates independently from all business units, and reports directly to the Subsidiary Risk Management Committee.
Credit Risk Management
Our credit risk management policy objectives are to improve our asset quality, reduce ournon-performing loans and minimize our concentration risk through a diversified, balanced and risk-weighted loan portfolio. We manage credit risk and continually monitor and improve our credit risk-related policies and guidelines to reflect changing risks in our business and the industries and sectors in which our customers operate. For example, we have recently strengthened our monitoring of asset quality and analysis of risk indicators by focusing on industries and sectors that are impacted by theCOVID-19 pandemic and will continue to do so by reflecting any additional volatility or long-term effects thereof.
We believe that an essential part of achieving our credit risk management objectives is utilizing a standardized risk management system so that we can identify and manage the risks generated by our businesses
using a consistent approach. Woori Bank is currently using a centralized credit risk management system called the Credit Wizard system. Credit Wizard is a credit risk management system which combines credit risk management and the credit approval process on a transactional level with respect to individual borrowers and approval with respect to each individual loan or credit. The system quantifies credit risk with respect to corporate borrowers using a“mark-to-market” methodology, which reflects both the likelihood of a default by a borrower as well as the likelihood of a change in such borrower’s credit rating, and quantifies credit risk with respect to retail borrowers using a “default mode” methodology, which reflects the likelihood of a default by a borrower. We believe that our Credit Wizard system is a systematic and efficient credit evaluation system and that Woori Bank has expedited its loan review process and improved its ability to monitor and evaluate its overall risk profile by using this system. The main characteristics of our Credit Wizard system are as follows:
| • | automation of credit risk management system, which allows us to centralize and automate many tasks relating to our credit risk management system; |
| • | automatic recognition and processing of different forms of credit, which allows us to process and approve different types of credit, such as new applicants, renewing applicants and changes in the condition of the loan or credit approved; |
| • | incorporation of credit risk management prior to approval of credit, which allows us to consider individualized characteristics of a borrower and enables us to calculate a more accurate price with respect to the loan or credit approved; |
| • | automatic credit risk monitoring after approval of credit, which allows us to evaluate andre-rate the loan or credit on a real-time basis as a result of any change in the characteristics of the borrower (including the condition of the underlying collateral, change in borrowing limit and early warning characteristics); and |
| • | automatic verification of internal procedures and regulations with respect to approval of credit, which reduces our operational risk and ensures that there are no material deviations from our loan and credit policies. |
We also impose a credit risk limit for Woori Bank with respect to “large exposures.” We aim to avoid concentrations of exposure with respect to any single corporate borrower or affiliated group of corporate borrowers. Accordingly, we have established aggregate exposure limits based on capital adequacy levels of Woori Bank and, with respect to individual corporate borrowers, established limits by dividing the “expected loss” with respect to companies affiliated with such corporate borrower with the “unexpected loss” (a measurement of credit risk) of such borrower and converting that into an exposure amount. We use this as the basis for our “large exposure” limits with respect to such corporate borrower.
We also impose a similar credit risk limit for Woori Private Equity Asset Management with respect to investment in private equity funds. Much like “large exposure” limits with respect to corporate borrowers, we aim to avoid concentrations of exposure with respect to any single private equity fund or affiliated group of funds. Accordingly, we have established aggregate investment limits based on the capital adequacy levels of Woori Private Equity Asset Management and, with respect to limits on each opportunity to invest, established limits depending on whether the target fund is an affiliate, or our participation or the participation by our subsidiaries is as a limited or general partner. We also impose a “principal investment” limit for investment activities that our subsidiaries undertake as a principal (as opposed to as an agent). The principal investment limit for each subsidiary is set as a certain percentage of the capitalization of such subsidiary.
We use our credit risk management systems to measure and control credit risk, to evaluate and approve new credit and to review and monitor outstanding credit. We conduct various quantitative and qualitative analyses to establish acceptable risk levels that provide what we believe are appropriate levels of return on investments. The credit risk management systems that we use to do this integrate various data, including customers’ financial and
economic condition, limits on loans and guarantee amounts, cash flow evaluations, collateral levels, our desired profit margin and the likelihood of unexpected loan losses.
Each relevant subsidiary monitors its level of risk, determines how that level compares to our target optimized level of risk on a monthly basis and produces risk analysis reports and optimization reports on a monthly basis and stress test reports on an ad hoc basis. These reports are sent to the respective Subsidiary Risk Management Committees and to the Board Risk Management Committee and provide a basis to set risk limits for, and allocate capital to, a subsidiary’s business groups.
Credit Evaluation and Approval
Our subsidiaries evaluate the credit of every loan applicant and guarantor before approving any loans, except for:
loans guaranteed by letters of guarantee issued by the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund, the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund or certain other specified Korean government-controlled funds;
loans guaranteed by highly-rated banks;
loans fully secured by deposits with us; and
loans against commercial promissory notes issued by creditworthy companies at a discount to the face value of the note determined by the issuer’s creditworthiness.
The evaluation and approval process differs depending on whether the loan is a corporate loan, a general household consumer loan, or a mortgage or home equity loan, and there is a separate process for credit card applications. For example, Woori Bank has in recent years implemented a standardized “expected loss” and “unexpected loss” credit risk system which we believe enables us to better allocate risk capital by evaluating “unexpected loss” (a measurement of credit risk), “VaR” (a measurement of market risk) and “earnings at risk” (a measurement of whether our assets and liabilities are mismatched).
Woori Bank has also undertaken a number of initiatives to develop credit evaluation and loan approval procedures that are more systematic and efficient. We prefer to use credit rating systems in our credit evaluation and loan approval process because they:
yield a uniform result regardless of the user;
can be used effectively by employees who do not have extensive experience in credit evaluation;
can be easily updated to reflect changing market conditions by changing how factors are weighted;
significantly limit the scope of employee discretion in the loan assessment and approval process; and
improve loan processing times while generally resulting in declines in delinquencies among new borrowers.
Woori Bank operates a Credit Wizard credit evaluation system for corporate loans (including small- andmedium-sized enterprise loans) and a consumer credit evaluation system for consumer loans.
Customers apply for loans by submitting a loan application through one of Woori Bank’s branches. These applications are initially reviewed using the appropriate credit evaluation system and, in the case of applications for a small amount or involving applicants with little or no credit risk, are approved by the branch manager or a relationship manager acting in concert with a credit officer based on the credit risk rating they receive under that system. Applications for larger loans and loans which are determined to involve greater credit risk are approved by bodies with greater authority, depending on where those loans fall in a matrix of size, collateral and credit risk. These loan applications will be referred to a credit officer committee at an office located near the customer, which may or may not be at Woori Bank’s headquarters. Every credit officer committee is made up of credit officers from headquarters and has the same level of authority. Applications that cannot be approved by a credit officer committee are referred to a senior credit officer committee or the Loan Committee of Woori Bank,
depending on loan size, collateral and credit risk. The following table sets forth the various Woori Bank committees and personnel involved in its credit evaluation and loan approval process:
Committee | Members | Approval Process | ||
Headquarters Approval | ||||
Loan Committee | Head of the credit support group, head of the risk management department, head of the investment banking group, head of the corporate banking business group, head of the capital market group, head of the large corporate audit department and head ofmedium-size enterprise audit department (no more than seven persons) | 2/3 required for approval; 2/3 required to participate | ||
Headquarters/Regional Approval | ||||
Senior Credit Officer Committee | One head senior credit officer and four to six other senior credit officers (five to seven persons) | 2/3 required for approval; 2/3 required to participate | ||
Credit Officer Committee | At least one senior credit officer and two other credit officers (at least three persons) | 2/3 required for approval; 2/3 required to participate | ||
Individual Approval | ||||
Loan Officer | Individual | Approval of the individual | ||
Branch Manager | Individual | Approval of the individual | ||
Head of Team | Individual | Approval of the individual | ||
Different individuals or committees review and approve loan applications depending on various factors, including:
the size and type of the loan;
the level of credit risk established by the credit rating system;
whether the loan is secured by collateral; and
if the loan is secured, an assessment of the collateral.
Loan applications are generally reviewed only by the highest-level committee required to approve the loan, although multiple reviews, including separate reviews at the branch, regional and headquarters level, may occur depending on the size and terms of any particular loan or a borrower’s credit risk.
Corporate Loan Approval Process
Woori Bank’s branches review corporate loan applications using a credit evaluation system for corporate borrowers. Each corporate credit evaluation system measures various quantitative and qualitative factors. The
model used by the credit evaluation system to review an application depends, however, on certain characteristics of the potential borrower. Woori Bank’s credit risk management unit, together with its large corporate loan department and small- andmedium-sized enterprise loan department, has developed separate credit evaluation models for large corporate borrowers that are subject to external audit under the Act on External Audits of Stock Companies, large corporate borrowers that are not subject to external audit,medium-sized enterprises and SOHO borrowers that either have outstanding loans, or are applying for a loan, in excess of ￦1 billion. In general, each model uses scores from both a computerized evaluation of quantitative financial factors, such as cash flow and income, and more qualitative factors which are scored using judgments by the credit officer or officers reviewing the application to produce an overall credit risk rating. These credit evaluation systems provide Woori Bank with tools to make consistent credit decisions and assist it in making risk-based pricing decisions. Woori Bank’s Credit Wizard system, depending on whether the borrower is audited by independent auditors and its size,
produces two separate scores based on one of five principal rating models: one for quantitative current financial factors, which is weighted 60 to 70% in determining the Credit Wizard credit risk rating, and another for the more qualitative factors that the judgment of credit officers plays a more significant part in determining, which is weighted 30 to 40%. The Credit Wizard credit risk rating estimates the probability that Woori Bank will recover extended credits and the likelihood that borrowers will default. Qualitative factors included in the Credit Wizard system include:
its industry situation;
a customer’s future financial condition;
its competitive position in the industry;
the quality of its management; and
its operations.
Other indirect factors included in the credit risk rating include:
its technological merits;
the nature and the location of any collateral; and
Woori Bank’s level of priority in that collateral to estimatenon-recovery risks.
These qualitative factors are input into the Credit Wizard system by the credit officer, and are rated based on his or her historical experience and that of the bank.
The Credit Wizard system produces separate credit risk ratings for each borrower. Woori Bank’s credit analysis and approval center evaluates and approves corporate loan applications based on these credit risk ratings. The Credit Wizard system assigns each borrower and facility one of the following 14 credit risk rating grades from AAA to D, which are classified as follows: AAA (extremely strong), AA (very strong), A+ (strong), A– (good), BBB+ (more adequate), BBB (adequate), BBB– (less adequate), BB+ (less susceptible), BB (susceptible), BB– (more susceptible), B+ (slightly weak), B– (weak), C (very weak) and D (default). Certain loans are subject to review by the Loan Committee depending on the size of the loan and the determined credit risk rating. Examples of this include loan applications for secured loans in excess of ￦80 billion for a borrower or facility with a credit risk rating ofA- and above, and, at the other extreme for unsecured loans, loan applications in excess of ￦4 billion for a borrower or facility with a credit risk rating of BB– to C. Applications from borrowers with loans on a watch list (see “—Credit Review and Monitoring” below) are also automatically reviewed by the Loan Committee.
Woori Bank has adopted a separate and simpler credit evaluation system for SOHOs (such as pharmacies, clinics and restaurants) that either have outstanding loans, or are applying for a loan, of ￦1 billion or less. The system uses simpler credit evaluation models and resembles Woori Bank’s application scoring system for new retail customers. It assigns a credit score ranging from one to ten to each application based on its evaluation of various factors. Applications are classified as either approved or rejected, which is the same as the consumer loan approval process, based on a combination of the internal credit scoring system and the external credit score.
With respect to the evaluation of any collateral to which a commercial loan application relates (which principally consists of land, buildings and equipment), the fair value of such underlying collateral for commercial loans is appraised by external valuation experts and such appraisals are collated in Woori Bank’s Credit Wizard system. Woori Bank uses its Credit Wizard system to manage its lending activities, and inputs data gathered from loan application forms, credit scores of borrowers and the appraisal value of collateral provided by external valuation experts into the Credit Wizard system and updates such information periodically to reflect changes in such information (such as any changes in credit scores of borrowers or the appraisal value of collateral). In addition, to validate the appropriateness of the appraisal values provided by such external valuation experts, Woori Bank reviews the qualification of the external valuation experts (including a review of whether such experts are legitimately registered with the Korea Association of Property Appraisers) and evaluates the assumptions and valuation model used by such experts as well as the appropriateness of variables by reference to market data and comparisons to actual transaction prices in similar regions.
We have set credit limits for our corporate customers. Some of these limits, particularly those imposed by Korean banking regulations, are aimed at preventing loan concentrations relating to any single customer. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Financial Exposure to Any Individual Customer or Major Shareholder.” In certain cases, we have introduced and implemented internally-developed large exposure limits that are stricter than the applicable Financial Services Commission requirements.
In evaluating applications, credit officers or the Loan Committee will often, in addition to reviewing ratings from these credit evaluation models, also refer to corporate information gathered or ratings assigned by external credit rating agencies, such as the Korea Federation of Banks, Korea Information Service, Korean government-released information on bankruptcy rates, National Information & Credit Evaluation Inc. and Korea Management Consulting & Credit Rating Corporation. They review the information we obtain from these sources and compare it to the information we have developed internally with respect to our customers to improve the accuracy of our internal credit ratings.
Consumer Loan Approval Process
The consumer loan department of Woori Bank evaluates and approves consumer loan applications using a dedicated consumer credit evaluation system. Woori Bank’s consumer credit evaluation system assigns a credit score to each application based on its evaluation of various factors. These factors include any loan and guarantee limits Woori Bank has set for particular borrowers or groups of borrowers and our evaluation of their cash flows and credit profiles. The system gives each customer’s loan application a grade ranging from one to ten. Woori Bank also uses another scoring system based on the external ratings provided by the Korea Credit Bureau and NICE Information Service Inc. Applications are classified as “automatically approved,” “automatically rejected” and “subject to further evaluation” based on a combination of the scores of these two systems. Woori Bank uses these systems to evaluate all new consumer loan applications, except for loans fully secured by deposits with Woori Bank.
Woori Bank augments its consumer credit evaluation system with a behavioral scoring system. The behavioral scoring system enhances the consumer credit evaluation system by enabling the consideration of factors not previously evaluated, including the customer’s spending history and credit behavior. By the nature of the information it analyzes, however, the behavioral scoring system can only be used for applications of persons who are existing borrowers, generally consisting of roll-overs of outstanding amounts.
We also evaluate any collateral to which a consumer loan application relates (which principally consists of residential properties) using the fair value of the underlying collateral appraised by Korea Investors Service as part of our loan approval process. Such appraisals are collated in the Credit Wizard system used by Woori Bank, and such information is updated periodically to reflect changes (such as any changes in credit scores of borrowers or the appraisal value of collateral). For example, Woori Bank automatically obtainsre-evaluations for the underlying collateral for secured consumer loans and mortgages every month with respect to apartments. If the value of the collateral declines, we may have the ability to require that the borrower provide more collateral or to change the payment terms of the relevant loan.
Credit Card Approval Process
We have worked to ensure that risk management and credit extension policies with respect to our credit card operations through our indirectdirect subsidiary, Woori Card, reflect our group-wide risk management policies and guidelines.
Woori Card reviews each new card application for completeness, accuracy and creditworthiness. It bases this review on various factors that assess the applicant’s ability to repay borrowed amounts. The review process involves three stages:
| • | Initial Application Process. Woori Card verifies basic information by requesting certain documents from the applicant, generally contacts the applicant directly (usually by telephone, although there are |
personal visits to some applicants) and statistically analyzes the applicant’s personal credit history together with financial and default information gathered from third-party sources and its internal database. The analysis considers various factors including employment, default status and historical relationships with Woori Bank and any delinquency history with other credit card companies. Woori Card also reviews information about an applicant obtained from external databases maintained by the Korea Federation of Banks and Nice Information Service Inc. |
| • | Application Scoring System Process. The application scoring system at Woori Card is a standardized evaluation tool used to determine the probability of a credit card applicant defaulting during theone-year period following issuance. The application scoring system, using a statistical model, assigns risks to factors that indicate a probability ofnon-payment. The model analyzes credit history, occupation and income data to develop a combined risk score. The applicant’s eligibility to receive a credit card and credit limit is determined by its anticipated delinquency ratio over 90 days within one year. |
| • | Credit Assessment. If the application is approved, then the application scoring system assessment is used to determine the applicant’s credit limit. The aggregate credit limit for a new applicant who is an individual rarely exceeds ￦20 |
The entire approval process generally takes two to three days and the applicant receives the new card within one week after making an application. Woori Card evaluates and updates the application scoring system on a monthly basis (or more frequently as required) to incorporate new data or adjust the importance placed on existing data or market conditions.
Credit Review and Monitoring
Our credit review and monitoring procedures are designed to reduce the risks of deterioration in our asset quality and to maintain acceptable levels of portfolio risk. These procedures include:
confirming a borrower’s credit rating or score;
ensuring the accuracy of the credit analysis done by our credit officers; and
ensuring compliance with internal policies relating to loan approval.
We believe that these procedures enable us to identify potentialnon-performing loans as soon as possible and minimize the possibility of approving in advance loans that will becomenon-performing. These procedures also enable us to manage credit risk more effectively and set interest rates to more accurately reach our targeted level of return.
Loan Review and Monitoring
Woori Bank monitors credit risk with respect to its borrowers using its loan review system. Woori Bank has a loan review unit that oversees its review and monitoring efforts. After a loan has been approved, the relevant materials or the results generated by Woori Bank’s credit evaluation system, together with any supporting data,
are reviewed by an officer in that unit. There are three types of reviews that Woori Bank’s loan review unit undertakes:
| • | Desk review. Desk reviews are the most common and are generally done within five days after a loan has been approved. Although the process is similar, different loans are automatically reviewed by Woori Bank based on the size of the loan. The loan review unit will initiate a desk review of loans approved by a credit officer committee or the Loan Committee, for any corporate loan over ￦5 billion, any consumer loan over ￦1 billion, any loan to a housing applicant group over ￦5 billion or any loan where the loan terms were adjusted. For loans originating from a branch, the loan review unit will randomly initiate a desk review for new domestic loans. For overseas loans, desk reviews are conducted for new loans (including credit limit increases) over US$300,000. Ex post desk reviews are also conducted on |
consumer and corporate loans approved by a domestic branch manager for borrowers with aggregate unsecured loans over ￦50 million or aggregate secured loans over ￦300 million, and new consumer and corporate loans (including credit limit increases) over US$30,000 approved by overseas branch managers. |
| • | Periodic review.Periodic reviews are done on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis with respect to loans that are current and over ￦10 billion or with respect to borrowers who are on a “watch list” with respect to possible insolvency. Quarterly periodic reviews are done for certain corporate borrowers, depending on their size and the borrower’s industry. |
| • | Ad hoc review. Ad hoc reviews can be done at any time. The head of Woori Bank’s Risk Management Department or the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of Woori Bank can initiate ad hoc reviews. Loan review officers who are responsible for desk and periodic reviews also conduct ad hoc reviews. |
Following a review, Woori Bank’s sales office may hold additional meetings with the borrower and adjust the loan amount or the borrower’s credit rating. The loan review unit may also direct sales office personnel to institute early collections or to adjust a borrower’s credit rating, total exposure and asset portfolio without consulting the borrower. The loan review officer may request that the credit officer adjust a borrower’s credit ratings based on various factors, including asset quality, credit limits, applied interest rates and our credit policies. We also continually review other factors, such as industries in which borrowers operate and their domestic and overseas assets and operations, to ensure that our ratings are appropriate.
Woori Bank monitors and manages its exposures to and credit limits for corporations andchaebols on a daily basis. Woori Bank uses its Total Exposure Management System to make real-time inquiries regarding its exposures, either by company or bychaebol, and to manage the credit limits for all kinds of business transactions. Woori Bank monitors and analyzes these exposures on a monthly basis. Corporate borrowers on Woori Bank’s “watch list” are monitored more closely and with respect to additional aspects of their relationships with us. Woori Bank places borrowers on its watch list when it believes that any impediment on a borrower’s ability to meet its financial obligations exists or is pending. Woori Bank may also monitor newly extended credits or any additional credits extended to a previous borrower more frequently if it believes additional monitoring is necessary after reviewing the loan approval process. Credits outstanding to a particular industry or region that Woori Bank believes are higher risk are monitored even more frequently. Based on the results of such monitoring, the loan review unit of Woori Bank provides monthly reports to its chief executive officer and its Risk Management Committee.
Woori Bank has the ability to conduct daily surveillance on the status of its retail borrowers through an online system established by the Korea Federation of Banks. This system, which tracks consumer loans at all major Korean banks andnon-banking institutions, permits us to track all loan defaults by any borrower. Woori Bank evaluates the need to monitor consumer loans by using its consumer credit evaluation system, including its behavioral scoring system, and makes adjustments to the credit scoring formula based on the results of that process.
Woori Bank’s loan review unit in its Risk Management Department is required to submit monthly loan review reports and quarterly deficiency reports to the chief executive officer and the head of the Risk Management Department of Woori Bank. The chief executive officer then provides feedback to the relevant sales offices of Woori Bank’s branches through its auditing team or relevant business group. Based on these reports, we may, for example, stop lending to particular borrowers, change credit limits or modify our loan approval procedures. We do not monitor loans to certain borrowers, such as loans to government entities.
Credit Card Review and Monitoring
Woori Card monitors its risk exposure to individual accounts on a regular basis. It monitors each customer’s card usage trends and negative credit data such as delinquency information through both its own credit risk management system (which was developed with the assistance of an outside consultant) and BC Card’s similar
system (which BC Card maintains for its member institutions). These systems monitor the behavior of users of Woori Card’s credit cards, using both internally generated information and information from external sources. Woori Card statistically analyzes this information to estimate each customer’s creditworthiness on a monthly basis. The credit risk management system is an integral part of the credit practices at Woori Card and is used to determine increases or decreases in credit limits, reset interest rates, set fee levels, authorize special transactions and approve card loans using criteria such as:
how much credit each customer has incurred in the past (i.e., frequency and amount of payments);
whether a customer uses his card to make credit card purchases or to get cash advances;
internal credit scores; and
whether the customer has been delinquent in making payments.
After assigning appropriate weightings to each factor, the system computes a behavior score and uses that score to classify each cardholder. Each customer’s credit limit is subject to adjustment in accordance with the monthly updated score. Woori Card uses these results and the results of its application scoring system to evaluate its credit risk management system and make adjustments to its credit scoring formula based on the results of that process.
Woori Card’s credit risk management system has also been able to run various simulations in connection with monitoring its operations, including:
| • | new product simulations, which predict a customer’s likely spending pattern when using a new credit card product and analyzes that pattern to predict the new product’s costs, delinquencies and profitability; and |
| • | credit use limit simulations, which test whether a customer’s credit limit has been properly set by simulating an increase or decrease of that limit. |
Woori Card’s credit administration team manages customer credit risk for users of its credit cards. It reviews and updates its underwriting, credit evaluation, collection, servicing andwrite-off procedures, and the terms and conditions of card agreements, from time to time in accordance with its business practices, applicable law and guidelines issued by regulatory authorities.
Early Warning Systems
Woori Bank and Woori Card have developed separate early warning systems that monitor the status of both commercial and retail borrowers and evaluate all of a customer’s outstanding credits. These systems monitor various factors, including the financial status, financial transaction status, industry rating and management status of borrowers. They enable our subsidiaries to find defaults and signs of potential delinquency in advance, monitor these problematic credits properly before any default or delayed payment occurs and keep track of
information on the credit status of borrowers. Updated information is input as it becomes available, either automatically from internal and external sources or manually. This information includes data relating to:
credit evaluation and monitoring system results, which determine if a borrower should be put on a watch list;
loan transactions, such as a borrower’s remaining line of credit and whether it has any dishonored notes, overdue loans or setoffs with respect to collateral deposits which have not matured;
deposit transactions, such as any decrease in a borrower’s average deposit balance, requests for large volumes of promissory notes or checks, or the inability to pay immediately available funds owed when due;
foreign exchange transactions, such as unpaid amounts of a borrower’s purchased export bills that have exceeded the maturity date; and
other information, such as a borrower’s management and employees, business operations, production operations, financial affairs and accounting operations and bank transactions.
We also monitor borrowers’ credits through online credit reports that are provided by Korea Information Service and National Information & Credit Evaluation, Inc., which are Korean credit reporting agencies.
After gathering this information, for example at Woori Bank, the early warning system reviews such information to monitor any changes that could affect the credit rating of the borrower, approval conditions with respect to the loan or credit, underlying collateral or assigned credit limit of the borrower. Depending on the likelihood of the change, the system automatically sends a signal to the responsible credit officer. The officer then evaluates the information and formulates an action plan, which could result in an adjustment in the borrower’s credit rating or loan pricing, are-evaluation of the loan or the taking of other preventative measures.
Credit Remediation
We believe that by centralizing the management of ournon-performing credits within each subsidiary, we can implement uniform policies fornon-performing credit resolution, pool institutional knowledge and create a more specialized (and therefore more efficient) work force. To the extent relevant to its business, each of our subsidiaries has one or more units that are responsible for managingnon-performing loans. At Woori Bank, for example, the Credit Management and Collection Department and the Corporate Restoration Department generally oversee the process for resolvingnon-performing loans transferred to them by Woori Bank’s other business groups. When a loan becomesnon-performing, the Credit Management and Collection Department and the Corporate Restoration Department will begin a due diligence review of the borrower’s assets, send a notice demanding payment or stating that the group will take legal action, and prepare for legal action. At the same time, Woori Bank initiates itsnon-performing loan management process. Once Woori Bank has confirmed the details of anon-performing loan, it makes efforts to recover amounts owed to it. Methods for resolvingnon-performing loans include commencing collection proceedings or legal actions and writing off such loans, transferring them to affiliates in charge of collection and authorizing those subsidiaries to recover what they can. We have also disposed of a number of non-performing credits to UAMCO and various structured companies. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Assets and Liabilities—Asset Quality ofLoans—Non-Performing Loan Strategy.”
Market Risk Management
The principal market risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and, to a lesser extent, equity risk and commodity risk. We divide market risk into risks arising from trading activities and risks relating to management of our assets and liabilities.
Our Board Risk Management Committee establishes risk capital allocation for our trading activities. Our Group Risk Management Department and our Subsidiary Risk Management Departments, in turn, manage more specific risk limits and loss limits and regularly report the results to our Board Risk Management Committee and the relevant Subsidiary Risk Management Committees.WeCommittees. We use the standardized method and the internal model method to measure and analyze the market risk from our trading activities.
Market Risk Management for Trading Activities
We measure market risk from trading activities to monitor and control the risk of our business groups and teams that perform those activities. Our trading activities consist of:
trading activities for our own account to realize short-term trading profits in debt (primarilyWon-denominated), equity and foreign exchange markets based on our forecasts of changes in market situation and customer demand; and
trading activities involving derivatives transactions, including interest rate and foreign exchange swaps, forwards, futures and options and, to a lesser extent, commodity derivatives, primarily to sell derivatives products to our customers and to hedge our own market risk.
Market risk arising from our trading activities can be subdivided into interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk equity risk and commodityequity risk:
Interest rate risk is a significant risk to which our trading activities are exposed. This risk arises primarily from our debt securities (which are primarily held by Woori Bank). We set different risk limits for our interest rate risk for our trading andnon-trading debt portfolios.
Foreign exchange risk arises from foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities in both our trading andnon-trading accounts and financial derivatives involving foreign currencies, which are not controlled separately on a trading and asset/liability management basis.
Equity risk arises from price and volatility fluctuations in equity securities and derivatives.
Commodity risk arises from price and volatility fluctuations in commodity derivatives.

The Board Risk Management Committee monitors market risk both for the group and for each relevant subsidiary individually. See “—Overview.” The Board Risk Management Committee has established a maximum “risk appetite” for each relevant subsidiary, which is defined as the risk capital of such subsidiary divided by its available capital. “Risk capital” is a benchmark figure that determines the market risk limits, accumulated loss limits (for trading portfolios) and present value of a basis point (or PVBP) limits (fornon-trading debt securities) for each subsidiary. Available capital generally consists of shareholder’s equity. Using this benchmark, as of
December 31, 2019,2020, we have established market risk limits with respect to Woori Bank as shown in the following table:
Trading Portfolio | Non-Trading Portfolio | |||||
VaR Limit | Accumulated Loss Limit | PVBP Limit | ||||
Quarter | Annual | |||||
| (in billions of Won) | ||||||
￦ | ￦ | ￦ | ￦ | |||
Each of our relevant subsidiaries generally manages its market risk at the portfolio level. To control its exposure, each such subsidiary takes into consideration the market risk limits, accumulated loss limits and PVBP limits set by the Board Risk Management Committee in determining its internal allocation of risk among its various portfolios. Each relevant subsidiary also sets its own stop loss limits with respect to particular types of transactions. Woori Bank uses an integrated market risk management system to manage market risks for trading operations, which enables Woori Bank to generate consistent VaR numbers for all of its trading activities.
In addition, Woori Bank has implemented internal processes which include a number of key controls designed to ensure that fair value is measured appropriately, particularly where a fair value model is internally developed and used to price a significant product. See “Item 5.A. Operating Results—Critical Accounting
Policies—Valuation of Financial Assets and Liabilities” and Notes2-(9)-5),3-(3) and 11 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Woori Bank’s Risk Management Department reviews the existing pricing and valuation models on a regular basis, with a focus on their underlying modeling assumptions and restrictions, to assess the appropriateness of their continued use. In consultation with its Trading Department, Woori Bank’s Risk Management Department recommends potential valuation models to its Fair Value Evaluation Committee. Upon approval by Woori Bank’s Fair Value Evaluation Committee, the selected valuation models are reported to its Risk Management Committee.
Value at Risk analysis. Woori Bank uses daily VaR to measure market risk. Daily VaR is a statistically estimated maximum amount of loss that can occur for a day. Woori Bank uses a 99% confidence level to measure its daily VaR, which means the actual amount of loss may exceed the VaR, on average, once out of 100 business days. Woori Bank uses the “historical simulation method” which takes into account the diversification effects among different risk factors.
Although VaR is a commonly used market risk management technique, it has some inadequacies. Since it is a statistical approach, VaR estimates possible losses over a certain period at a particular confidence level using past market movement data. Past market movements, however, are not necessarily a good indicator of future events. Another problem with VaR is that the time periods used for the model, generally one or 10 days, are assumed to be a sufficient holding period before liquidating the relevant underlying positions. If these holding periods are not sufficient, or too long, VaR may understate or overstate the potential loss. VaR is most appropriate as a risk measure for trading positions in liquid financial markets and will understate the risk associated with severe events, such as a period of extreme liquidity.
The following table shows Woori Bank’s daily VaR as of December 31, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 20192020 at a 99% confidence level for aone-day holding period, for interest rate risk, equity risk, foreign exchange risk and commodity risk relating to its trading activities.

Back-testing. Woori Bank conducts back testing on a daily basis to validate the adequacy of its market risk management. Back testing compares both the actual and hypothetical profit and loss with VaR calculations and analyzes any results that fall outside a predetermined confidence interval of 99%. The number of times the actual changes in Woori Bank’s profit and loss exceeded the VaR amounts in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 20192020 was 0.3.
Stress test. In addition to VaR, Woori Bank performs stress testing to measure market risk. As VaR assumes normal market situations, Woori Bank assesses its market risk exposure to abnormal market fluctuations through stress testing. Stress testing is an important way of supporting VaR since VaR is a statistical expression of possible loss under a given confidence level and holding period. It does not cover potential loss if the market moves in a manner that is outside normal expectations. Stress testing projects the anticipated change in value of holding positions under certain scenarios assuming that no action is taken during a stress event to change the risk profile of a portfolio. The following table shows, for Woori Bank, the loss that would have occurred in its trading portfolio as of December 31, 20192020 for assumed short-term extreme changes of a+/-20% change in the equity market and a+/-60 basis point change from interest rates prevailing in the market on that date, under an abnormal stress environment.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk from trading activities arises mainly from our trading ofWon-denominated debt securities. Our general trading strategy is to benefit from short-term movements in the prices of debt securities arising from changes in interest rates. As Woori Bank’s trading accounts aremarked-to-market daily, Woori Bank manages its interest rate risk related to trading accounts using market value-based tools such as VaR. See “—Asset and Liability Management—Interest Rate Risk.”
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk arises because we have assets, liabilities andoff-balance sheet items such as foreign exchange forwards and currency swaps that are denominated innon-Won currencies. The difference between each of our relevant subsidiaries’ foreign currency assets and liabilities is offset against forward foreign exchange positions to obtain its net foreign currency open position. Woori Bank determines its maximum foreign exchange exposure for both trading and asset and liability management purposes by establishing a limit for this net foreign currency open position. Woori Bank’s Risk Management Committee also establishes VaR limits for its foreign exchange business.
Assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars account for the majority of our foreign currency assets and liabilities. Those denominated in Japanese yen and the euro account for most of the remainder, the majority of which have been swapped into U.S. dollars.
Each of our relevant subsidiaries monitors changes in, and matches of, foreign-currency assets and liabilities in order to reduce exposure to currency fluctuations. Most of our foreign exchange risk arises in connection with the operations of Woori Bank. Our relevant subsidiaries also manage risks relating to exchange rate fluctuations through foreign exchange dealing, including by their overseas branches. However, we conduct foreign exchange dealings primarily on behalf of our customers. Our counterparties are generally domestic and foreign financial
institutions and banks. The following table sets forth information concerning Woori Bank’s limits on proprietary foreign exchange dealings as of December 31, 2019:2020:

Equity Risk
Equity price risk and equity volatility risk arise primarily from Woori Bank’s equity portfolio, which consists mainly of futures contracts and options andWon-denominated equity securities, as a result our imposition of strict VaR limits, accumulated loss limits and stress test limits.Equitylimits. Equity risk arises in the context of trading activities for our own accounts to realize short-term trading profits with respect to equity securities and trading activities involving certain derivatives transactions.
Commodity Risk
Commodity risk represents exposures to instruments traded in the metals, petroleum, natural gas and other commodities markets, and arises principally from Woori Bank’s trading of U.S. dollar-denominated commodity derivatives. Woori Bank manages its commodity risk using VaR, accumulated loss and stress test limits.
Derivatives-Related Market Risk
The Foreign Exchange Transaction Regulations of Korea provide that a foreign exchange bank (such as Woori Bank) may generally enter into derivatives transactions without restriction so long as those transactions are not linked with credit risks of a party to the transaction or any third party. If they are, the bank must report the transaction to the Bank of Korea.
Most of the derivatives products that our subsidiaries trade are on behalf of their customers or to hedge their own positions. Our derivatives activities include interest rate and cross-currency swaps, foreign exchange forwards, stock index and interest rate futures, forward rate agreements and currency andover-the-counter equity options.
Asset and Liability Management
Our principal market risk with respect to managing our assets and liabilities is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises due to mismatches in the maturities orre-pricing periods of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, such as loans and deposits. Any imbalance of the maturity of our interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities and the gap resulting from that imbalance may cause net interest income to be affected by changes in the prevailing level of interest rates. Our principal asset and liability management objectives are to generate stable net interest revenues and protect our asset value against interest rate fluctuations.
Woori Bank uses a standardized asset and liability management system for itsWon- and foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. In addition, Woori Bank’s system also allows it to manage the assets and liabilities in its trust accounts. Its system uses the historical scenario method to determine interest rate VaR,DEVE (change in economic value of equity), supplemented by modules to calculate and monitor our liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio.
Interest Rate Risk
We manage interest rate risk based on rational interest rate forecasts, using gap analysis to measure the difference between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities, and using simulations to calculate the effect of changing interest rates on income. We principally manage this risk by managing maturity and duration gaps between our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
We measure interest rate risk for Won and foreign currency assets and liabilities, including derivatives and principal guaranteed trust accounts. Most of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are denominated in Won and our foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are mostly denominated in U.S. dollars. We believe, however, that our interest rate sensitivity is limited with respect to ourWon-denominated assets. Deposits in Won generally bear fixed rates of interest for fixed time periods (other than deposits payable on demand which constituted approximately 44.5%49.9% of our total deposits in Won as of December 31, 2019)2020). We generally adjust the interest rates on these deposits when they are rolled over. In addition, as of December 31, 2019, 98.3%2020, 97.8% of those deposits had current maturities of one year or less. As of December 31, 2019,2020, approximately 58.7%64.3% of ourWon-denominated loans bore floating rates of interest, and 66.9%62.3% of those loans had current maturities of one year or less.
Interest rate gap analysis measures expected changes in net interest revenues by calculating the difference in the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at each maturity and interest resetting date. Woori Bank performs interest rate gap analysis for Won and foreign currency-denominated assets on a monthly basis.
Interest Rate Gap Analysis.For interest rate gap analysis we use or assume the following maturities for different assets and liabilities:
With respect to maturities of assets, for prime rate-linked loans, we apply the actual maturities of each loan; furthermore, we assume the reserves with the Bank of Korea and loans and securities classified as substandard or below to have maximum remaining maturities.
With respect to maturities of liabilities, for demand deposits with no fixed maturities, a portion of the demand deposits are recognized to have maturities of less than three months as calculated in accordance with Financial Services Commission guidelines.
Our Board Risk Management Committee’s interest rate risk limit for Woori Bank generally requires that its earnings at risk forWon-denominated accounts be within 10% of its estimated net interest income for aone-year period. We calculate VaRDEVE through our standardized asset and liability management system, which uses the historical scenario method to simulate the current portfolio’s net asset value for aone-year holding period at a 99.9% confidence level.
The following tables show, for Woori Bank, on anon-consolidated basis pursuant to the guidelines of the Financial Supervisory Service, the interest rate gap forWon-denominated accounts and foreign currency-denominated accounts as of December 31, 2019:2020:

Duration Gap Analysis.Woori Bank also performs a duration gap analysis to measure and manage its interest rate risk. Duration gap analysis is a more long-term risk indicator than interest rate gap analysis, as
interest rate gap analysis focuses only on accounting income and not on the market value of the assets and liabilities. We emphasize duration gap analysis because, in the long run, our principal concern with respect to interest rate fluctuations is the net asset value rather than net interest revenue changes.
For duration gap analysis, we use or assume the same maturities for different assets and liabilities that we use or assume for our interest rate gap analysis.
The following table shows, for Woori Bank, with respect toWon-denominated assets and liabilities, duration gaps and net asset value changes when the interest rate increases by one percentage point as of the specified dates:

Foreign Exchange Risk
We manage foreign exchange rate risk arising in connection with the management of our assets and liabilities together with such risks arising from our trading operations. See “—Market Risk Management for Trading Activities—Foreign Exchange Risk” above.
Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity risk is the risk of insolvency or loss due to disparity between inflow and outflow of funds such as maturity mismatch, including having to obtain funds at a high price or to dispose of securities at an unfavorable price due to lack of available funds. We manage our liquidity in order to meet our financial liabilities from withdrawals of deposits, redemption of matured debentures and repayments at maturity of borrowed funds. We also require sufficient liquidity to fund loans and extend other forms of credits, as well as to make investments in securities. Each of the Subsidiary Risk Management Committees establishes liquidity policies for the respective subsidiary and monitors liquidity on anon-going basis. Our relevant subsidiaries make constant adjustments to take into account variables affecting their liquidity levels. The Subsidiary Risk Management Departments review the uses and sources of funds on a daily basis, taking into consideration the various goals of their respective business groups.
Our liquidity management goal is to be able, even under adverse conditions, to meet all our liability repayments on time and fund all investment opportunities even under adverse conditions.
We maintain diverse sources of liquidity to facilitate flexibility in meeting our funding requirements. We fund our operations principally by accepting deposits from retail and corporate depositors, accessing the call loan
market (a short-term market for loans with maturities of less than one month), issuing debentures and borrowing from the Bank of Korea. We use the majority of funds raised by us to extend loans or purchase securities. Generally, deposits are of shorter average maturity than loans or investments.
In managing liquidity risk, each of our relevant subsidiaries currently determines gap limits, implements those limits and monitors maturity gaps using its asset and liability management system. We also establish gap limits for liquidity management purposes. Each relevant subsidiary has set a total limit in order to manage liquidity risk. For example, Woori Bank’s three-month accumulated gap limits for banking and trust accounts are between (10)% and 10%. In the foreign currency account, the limit for aone-week gap has been set as (3)% or higher and as (10)% or higher for aone-month gap.
Liquidity is maintained by holding sufficient quantities of assets that can be liquidated to meet actual or potential demands for funds from depositors and others. Liquidity is also managed by ensuring that the excess of maturing liabilities over maturing assets in any period is kept to manageable levels relative to the amount of funds we believe we can raise when required. We seek to minimize our liquidity costs by managing our liquidity position on a daily basis and by limiting the amount of cash at any time that is not invested in interest-earning assets or securities.
The Financial Services Commission uses the liquidity coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of highly liquid assets to total net cash outflows over a30-day period, as the principal liquidity risk management measure and currently requires Korean banks, including Woori Bank, to:
maintain a liquidity coverage ratio of not less than 100%;
maintain a foreign currency liquidity coverage ratio of not less than 80% (temporarily reduced to 70% for the three months ending May 30, 2020 for purposes of increasing foreign currency liquidity in the Korean financial markets); and
submit monthly reports with respect to the maintenance of these ratios.
In April 2020, in order to encourage financial institutions to provide financial support to companies adversely affected by COVID-19, the Financial Services Commission announced that it would temporarily lower the required liquidity coverage ratio to 85% and the required foreign currency liquidity coverage ratio to 70%. Although these temporary deregulation measures were originally scheduled to end in September 2020, the Financial Services Commission extended them until the end of September 2021, which may be subject to change.
As of December 31, 2019,2020, Woori Bank’s30-day liquidity coverage ratio was 107.21%91.41%, above the Financial Services Commission’s standard of 100%85%.
The following table shows the liquidity status, on a cumulative basis, and limits for foreign currency accounts of Woori Bank on anon-consolidated basis as of December 31, 20192020 in accordance with the Financial Services Commission’s regulations:

The Subsidiary Risk Management Committees receive reports from the relevant subsidiaries regarding their respective liquidity ratios and liquidity gap ratios on a monthly basis.

Operational Risk Management
Operational risk is difficult to quantify and subject to different definitions. We define our operational risk as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. This definition includes legal risk, but excludes strategic and reputational risk.
To monitor and control operational risks, we maintain a system of comprehensive policies and have put in place a control framework designed to provide a stable and well-managed operational environment throughout our
organization. Several bodies are responsible for managing our operational risk, including our Audit and Legal and Compliance Departments and the Subsidiary Risk Management Committees and their respective Subsidiary Risk Management Departments. For example, Woori Bank has implemented a multi-step operational risk management process consisting of engaging in risk self-assessment, establishing key risk indicators, operating an early warning system, managing loss data, measuring operational risk capital, monitoring and reporting risks, promoting a strong risk management culture and developing action plans. Woori Bank has also established policies to change operational risk profiling, select permitted levels of risk, develop action plans and manage results. We are also implementing a group-wide operational risk management system to comply with the operational risk requirements of the final Basel III standards, which will become effective in 2023.
We consider legal risk as a part of our operational risk. The uncertainty of the enforceability of the obligations of our customers and counterparties, including foreclosure on collateral, creates legal risk. Legal risk is higher in new areas of business where the law is often untested in the courts although such risk can also increase in our traditional business to the extent that the legal and regulatory landscape in Korea is changing and many new laws and regulations governing the banking industry remain untested. Our relevant subsidiaries’ legal departments seek to minimize legal risk by using stringent legal documentation, employing procedures designed to ensure that transactions are properly authorized and consulting legal advisers. Each of our relevant subsidiaries’ internal auditors also review loan documentation to ensure that these are correctly drawn up to withstand scrutiny in court should such scrutiny occur.
In connection with our disaster recovery capabilities, Woori Bank has measures in place to recover data and resume core operations within three hours of any business interruption.
The majority of our information technology systems are operated by our subsidiary, Woori FIS. We currently have a “mirror site” in operation with respect to Woori Bank which backs up transaction information on a real-time basis. We also have a“back-up site” in operation with respect to Woori Bank, which backs up transaction information on a daily basis. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Other risks relating to our business—Our operations may be subject to increasing and continually evolvingcybersecurityevolvingcybersecurity and other technological risks.”

Fees and Charges
Under the terms of the deposit agreement, as a holder of our ADSs, you are required to pay the following service fees to the depositary:
Services | Fees | |
Issuance of ADSs | Up to $0.05 per ADS issued | |
Cancellation of ADSs | Up to $0.05 per ADS cancelled | |
Distribution of cash dividends or other cash distributions | Up to $0.05 per ADS held | |
Distribution of ADSs pursuant to (i) stock dividends or other free stock distributions, or (ii) exercise of the rights to purchase additional ADSs | Up to $0.05 per ADS held | |
Distribution of securities other than ADSs or rights to purchase additional ADSs | Up to $0.05 per ADS held | |
ADS services | Up to $0.05 per ADS held on the applicable record date established by the depositary | |
As a holder of our ADSs, you are also responsible for paying certain fees and expenses such as:
taxes (including applicable interest and penalties) and other governmental charges;
| • | fees for the transfer and registration of shares charged by the registrar and transfer agent for the shares in Korea (i.e., upon deposit and withdrawal of shares) |
cable, telex and facsimile transmission and delivery expenses;
expenses and charges incurred in the conversion of foreign currency;
fees and expenses incurred in connection with compliance with exchange control regulations and other applicable regulatory requirements; and
fees and expenses incurred in connection with the delivery or servicing of shares on deposit.
Depositary fees payable upon the issuance and cancellation of ADSs are typically paid to the depositary by the brokers (on behalf of their clients) receiving the newly issued ADSs from the depositary and by the brokers (on behalf of their clients) delivering the ADSs to the depositary for cancellation. The brokers in turn charge these fees to their clients. Depositary fees payable in connection with distributions of cash or securities to ADS holders and the depositary services fee are charged by the depositary to the holders of record of ADSs as of the applicable ADS record date.
The depositary fees payable for cash distributions are generally deducted from the cash being distributed. In the case of distributions other than cash (i.e., stock dividend, rights), the depositary charges the applicable fee to the ADS record date holders concurrent with the distribution. In the case of ADSs registered in the name of the investor (whether certificated or uncertificated in direct registration), the depositary sends invoices to the applicable record date ADS holders. In the case of ADSs held in brokerage and custodian accounts (via the Depository Trust Company, or DTC), the depositary generally collects its fees through the systems provided by DTC (whose nominee is the registered holder of the ADSs held in DTC) from the brokers and custodians holding ADSs in their DTC accounts. The brokers and custodians who hold their clients’ ADSs in DTC accounts in turn charge their clients’ accounts the amount of the fees paid to the depositary.
In the event of refusal to pay the depositary fees, the depositary may, under the terms of the deposit agreement, refuse the requested service until payment is received or may set off the amount of the depositary fees from any distribution to be made to such holder of ADSs.
Note that the fees and charges you may be required to pay may vary over time and may be changed by us and by the depositary. You will receive prior notice of such changes.
Fees and Payments from the Depositary to Us
In 2019,2020, pursuant to an agreement with us, the depositary waived, or made payments to third parties of, approximately $9,976$11,909 (net of applicable taxes) in the aggregate in connection with proxy process expenses (including printing, postage and distribution expenses), contributions towards investor relations efforts (including investor relations agency fees) and other standardout-of-pocket maintenance costs relating to our ADS facility that were payable by us.
In addition, as part of its service to us, the depositary waives its fees for the standard costs and operating expenses associated with the administration of the ADS facility.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2019.2020. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 20192020 were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management maintains a comprehensive system of controls intended to ensure that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization, assets are safeguarded, and financial records are reliable. Our management also takes steps to ensure that information and communication flows are effective and to monitor performance, including performance of internal control procedures.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20192020 based on the criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in May 2013.
Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2019,2020, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Our management has excluded Woori Financial Capital (including its then wholly-owned subsidiary Woori Savings Bank) from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 in accordance with the SEC’s general guidance that an assessment of a recently-acquired business may be omitted from our scope of assessment in the year of acquisition. On December 10, 2020, we acquired a 74.0% equity interest in Woori Financial Capital from Well to Sea Investment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Woori Financial Capital became our consolidated subsidiary on October 20, 2020 for accounting purposes. For further information regarding the accounting treatment of the acquisition of Woori Financial Capital, see Note 43.1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. As of December 31, 2020, Woori Financial Capital accounted for approximately 2.2% of our consolidated total assets, and its net loss before income tax for the period subsequent to its consolidation on October 20, 2020 amounted to ￦18 billion, compared to our consolidated net profit before income tax of ￦2,001 billion.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20192020 has been audited by Deloitte Anjin LLC,Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report included herein which expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.2020.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
ThereAs a result of our acquisition of Woori Financial Capital as described above, we are evaluating and implementing changes to processes, policies and other components of our internal control over financial reporting as part of our ongoing integration activities. Our management continues to be engaged in efforts to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control procedures and the design of those control procedures in connection with the acquisition of Woori Financial Capital, with a plan to report its evaluation of the internal control over the financial reporting of Woori Financial Capital at December 31, 2021. Except for the foregoing, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during 20192020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We adopted IFRS 16 effective January 1, 2019 and have updated or modified certain internal controls over financial reporting as a result of the new accounting standard. For additional information regarding IFRS 16 and the impact of its application to our consolidated financial statements, see Note2-(1)-1) of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3)(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Allowances for Credit Losses
As described in Notes 4 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, loans measured at amortized cost subject to individual or collective assessments were ￦304,702,706 million, with allowances for credit losses of ￦1,908,524 million as of December 31, 2020. Allowances for credit losses for individually assessed loans are determined by the estimation of the expected future cash flows. For collectively assessed loans, allowances are determined based on assumptions and variables in the models used for estimating expected credit loss. Significant judgment is applied in management’s estimation including updating forward-looking information used for expected credit losses and determining significant increases in credit risk for loans, including the impacts of government-led loan deferment.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the allowances for credit losses for individually assessed and collectively assessed loans is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management in determining such allowances including judgment related to the cash flow projections for the individually assessed loans, and measurement uncertainties arising from various assumptions and methodologies including credit rating assessments, forward-looking information and credit risk of loans affected by government-led loan deferment, which in turn led to a high degree of subjectivity in performing
procedures relating to the assumptions used; (ii) the significant judgment in evaluating audit evidence related to the assumptions used; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the Company’s allowance estimation process, which included controls over the assumptions used in determining the allowance for credit losses. These procedures also included, among others, the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in testing management’s process for determining the allowance for credit losses for individually assessed and collectively assessed loans, including evaluating the appropriateness of estimated future cash flows, evaluating the appropriateness of methodology and models used, testing the accuracy of the data used in the estimates, and evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Woori Financial Group Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statementsstatement of financial position of Woori Financial Group Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the threetwo years in the period ended December 31, 2019 (all expressed in Korean Won), and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the threetwo years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Group’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 29, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Group’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audits also comprehended the translation of Korean Won amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers outside Korea.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Allowance for credit losses of loans—Refer to Notes 2, 3, 4 and 10 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Group estimates and records an allowance for credit loss of loans based on expected credit losses. In order to estimate expected credit losses, the Group segregated its portfolio into retail, corporate and credit card loans. Loans measured at amortized cost are KRW 272,607,264 million, with loan loss allowances of KRW 1,575,020 million, as of December 31, 2019. Both the individual and collective impairment methodologies must consider historical losses adjusted for forward looking information and include multiple scenarios for macroeconomic factors. The allowance for certain loans is measured, at least in part, based on the valuation of collateral which must take into account an expectation of when and for how much the collateral will be sold.
There was a significant amount of judgment required by management when determining the appropriateness of the forward looking and macroeconomic information used in the calculation of the expected losses in its loan portfolio.
Given the level of subjectivity and judgment, auditing the estimated allowance for loan losses involved especially complex and subjective judgment.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the assumptions and unobservable inputs used by management for the estimate of impaired loans including the following:
We tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls over the appropriateness of the cash-flows estimated to be collected in individually significant loans, including the estimates of collateral values.
We tested the design and operating effectiveness of the controls over the appropriateness of the models used to determine the calculation of the allowance for loan losses for collectively assessed loans and most importantly the determination of the relevant model and assumptions to incorporate forward looking and macroeconomic information.
We used our credit specialists to assist us in challenging the reasonableness of the methodologies and inputs used in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses for collectively assessed loans, most importantly in determining the appropriateness of forward-looking and macroeconomic scenarios used by management.
We tested the Group’s process to develop estimates of future operating cash flows from borrowers with significant loans outstanding to determine the available cash flows to repay the loans. In addition, we challenged these estimates by searching for contradictory evidence available at the balance sheet date.
We selected samples of loans subject to individual assessments and performed the following:
Verified the appropriateness of the process of calculating future cash flows from borrowers with significant loans outstanding to determine the available cash flows to repay the loans.
With assistance of our appraisal specialists and using property auction price information obtained independently from the Group, we evaluated the reasonableness of cash flow estimates based on the future sale of collateral.

The characteristics and the nature of risks related to unconsolidated structured entities over which the Group does not have control in accordance with IFRS 10 are as follows: |
The ownership interests onin unconsolidated structured entities that the Group hold are classified into asset securitization vehicles, structured finance, investment fund and real-estate trust, based on the nature and the purpose of theeach structured entities.entity.
Unconsolidated structured entities classified as ‘asset securitization vehicles’ are entities that issue asset-backed securities, pay the principal and interest or distributes dividends on asset-backed securities through borrowings or profits from the management, operation and sale of securitized assets. The Group transfers related risks by the purchasehas been purchasing commitments of asset-backed securities or issuance ofissuing asset-backed securities through credit grants, and the structured entities recognize related interest or fee revenue. There are entities that provide additional funding and conditional debt acquisition commitments before the Group’s financial support, but the Group is still exposed to losses arising from the purchase of financial assets issued by the structured entities when it fails to renew the securities.
Unconsolidated structured entities classified as ‘structured financing’ include real estate project financing investment vehicle, social overhead capital companies, and special purpose vehiclescompanies for ship (aircraft) financing. Each entity is incorporated as a separate company with a limited purpose in order to efficiently pursue business goals. ‘Structured financing’ is a financing method for large-scale risky business, with investments made based on feasibility of the specific business or project, instead of credit of business owner or physical collaterals. The investors receive profits from the operation of the business. The Group recognizes interest revenue, profit or loss from assessment or transactions of financial instruments, or dividend income. With regard to uncertainties involving structured financing, there are entities that provide financial support such as additional fund, guarantees and prioritized credit grants prior to the Group’s intervention, but the Group is exposed to possible losses due to loss of principal from reduction in investment value or irrecoverable loans arising from failure to collect scheduled cash flows and cessation of projects.

The Group recognizes pro rata amount of valuation gain or loss on investment and dividend income as an investor and may be exposed to losses due to reduction in investment value. Short-term investments in MMF as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 are 47,502 million Won and 427,375 million Won, respectively, and there is no additional commitments.
‘Real estate trust’ is to be entrusted the underlying property for the purpose of managing, disposing, operating or developing from the consignor who owns the property and distributes the proceeds achieved through the trust to the beneficiary. When the consignee does not fulfill his or her important obligations in the trust contract or it is, in fact, difficult to run the business, the Group may be exposed to the threat of compensating the loss.
The total assets of the unconsolidated structured entity held by the Group, the carrying amount of the items recognized in the consolidated financial statements, the maximum loss exposure, and the losses from the unconsolidated structured entity are as follows. The maximum loss exposure includes the amount of investment recognized in the consolidated financial statements and the amount that is likely to be confirmed in the future when satisfies certain conditions by contracts such as purchase arrangements, credit offerings. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the purchase commitment amount is 2,264,510 million Won and 4,266,319 million Won, respectively.

Such convenience translation into U.S. Dollars should not be construed as representations that Korean Won amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted at this or any other rate of exchange.
The significantprincipal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated financial statements, as described in following paragraphs of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated below, and the accounting policies applied are identical to ones used in the preparation of previous periods’ consolidated financial statements, except for the effects of adopting new standards or interpretations as explained below.
The consolidated financial statementspolicy, are prepared at the end of each reporting period in historical cost basis, except for certainnon-current assets and financial assets that are either revalued or measured in fair value. Historical cost is generally measured at the fair value of consideration given to acquire assets.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group were first approved for the issuance on March 3, 2020 by the Board of Directors on February 5, 2021 and theamended on March 5, 2021. The final approval will bewas made in the annual general shareholders’ meeting on March 25, 2020.26, 2021.
1) The standards and interpretations that are newly adopted by the Group during the current period, and the changes in accounting policies thereof are as follows:
| ① | Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combination—Definition of a Business |
IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments,’ IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosure’ amendments
The Group has adoptedTo consider the amendmentsintegration of IFRS 9the required activities and IFRS 7 for the first time in the current year. The amendments mainly deal with the addition of temporary exceptions from applying specific hedge accounting requirements while the uncertainty arises from interest rate benchmark reform. The amendment requires that for the purpose of determining whether a forecast transaction (or a component thereof) is highly probable, an entity shall assume that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged cash flows (contractually ornon-contractually specified) are based is not alteredassets as a result of interest rate benchmark reform. When applyingbusiness, the prospective assessment, the amendment further requires that an entity shall assume that the hedged risk or the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged item or the hedging instrument is based is not altered as a result of the reform. Additionally, for a hedge of anon-contractually specified benchmark component of interest rate risk, an entity shall apply the requirement that the risk component shall be separately identifiable only at the inception of the hedging relationship. Meanwhile, an entity shall prospectively cease applying the temporary exceptions to a hedged item at the earlier of: (a)when the uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform is no longer present with respect to the timing and the amount of the interest rate benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item; and (b)when the hedging relationship that the hedged item is part of is discontinued. Note 26 sets out details of the hedge accounting applied by the Group. These amendments will be effective from January 1, 2020 but the Group has applied such amendments in current year as the early adoption is permitted.
IFRS 16 Leases
The Group initially applied IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019.
IFRS 16 introduces an accounting model for the single lessee and as a result, the Group, as a lessee, recognizesright-of-use assets which represent a lessee’s right to use an underlying asset and lease liabilities which represent an obligation to make lease payments. An accounting model for the lessor is similar to the previous accounting policy.
The Group recognized the cumulative effects due to the initial application of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, which is the date of initial application. Therefore, the comparative financial information applies IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 as reported previously, and was not restated. The details of the changes to the accounting policy are described below.
i) Definition of lease
Previously, the Group determined whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease on the arrangement date by applying IFRIC 4 ‘Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease’ which focused on ‘risks and consideration’. The Group has started to determine whether the contract is, or contains, a lease, based on the newamended definition of a lease. Under IFRS 16,business requires an acquisition to include an input and a contract determines whethersubstantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, and excludes economic benefits from the lower costs. An entity can apply a lease includes controlconcentration test, an optional test, where substantially all of the use of an underlying asset that is identified in exchange for consideration.
On the date of initial application for IFRS 16, the Group elected to apply a practical expedient which does not require the Group to reassess whether the contract is a lease. The Group applied IFRS 16 only to the contracts
that were previously identified as a lease and did not reassess the contracts that were not identified as a lease in line with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. Therefore, the definition of lease under IFRS 16 is only applicable to contracts that are entered into or modified after January 1, 2019.
For the agreed or revalued date of the contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease andnon-lease components.
The Group elected not to recognizeright-to-use assets and lease liabilities for certain leases oflow-value assets (e.g. IT facilities) and short-term leases (less than one year). The Group will recognize the related lease payments as expenses equally over the lease period.
IFRS Interpretations Committee published its interpretation of ‘Lease Period and Lease Improvement Useful Life’ as of December 16, 2019. The Interpretation Committee discussed a question about how to determine the lease term for cancellable or renewable leases and according to the interpretation, the lease term will depend on both the termination penalties in the contract and the broader economics of the contract. Agenda decisions issued by the Interpretations Committee do not have an application date, but are expected to be implemented as soon as possible. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the agenda decision and does not expect a material impact to the financial statements.
ii) Lessee
The Group leases various assets, including buildings, vehicles and IT equipment.
Previously, the Group classified its leases either as operating leases or as finance leases based on whether the lease substantially transfers the risk and reward of owning the underlying assets. According to IFRS 16, the Group recognizesright-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most of its leases, which means most of its leases are presented in the statement of financial position.
For theright-of-use assets that do not satisfy the definition of an investment property, the Group presents those assets as the same item as the item that the corresponding underlying asset would have been presented for.Right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment properties would be presented as investment properties.
The Group presents lease liability as other financial liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.
iii) Transitional provisions on lease
On the date of initial application, a lease classified as an operating lease in accordance with IAS 17 is measured at presentfair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or a group of similar assets, the remaining lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate of the subsidiary as of January 1, 2019. However, the Group chose an exception thatassets acquired would not represent a business. The amendment does not apply the lessee’s recognition, measurement and presentation on low value asset leases. Theright-of-use asset is measured as follows:
The same amount as lease liability(pre-paid or incurred (unpaid) lease payments are adjusted). The Group applies this method to all leases.
When the Group applies IFRS 16 to the leases classified as operating leases in accordance with IAS 17, following practical expedients are used:
Opening direct costs are excluded from the measurement of theright-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
An entity should apply IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ right before the date of initial application to determine whether a lease is a loss-bearing contract and therefore conduct an impairment review.
Theright-of-use assets and lease liabilities are not recognized for short-term leases (residual term less than a year)
If the contract includes a lease extension or exit option, use hindsight to determine the lease term.
iv) Impacts to the financial statements
a) Impacts at date of initial application
At the date of initial application of IFRS 16, the Group additionally recognized theright-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and the impacts as of January 1, 2019 are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):
| ||||
| ||||
|
When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were previously classified as operating lease, the Group used its incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019 as the discount rate. The applied weighted-average incremental borrowing rate is 2.0~5.6%.
| ||||
| ||||
| ||||
| ||||
| ||||
| ||||
b) Impacts during the transition
The Group recognized depreciation expenses and interest expenses instead of the operating lease expenses for the leases in line with IFRS 16. The Group recognized depreciation expenses of 229,727 million Won and interest expenses of 9,086 million Won for the lease for the year ended December 31, 2019.
3) It is believed that the following issued, revised standards will not have a significant impact on the Group.financial statements.
| ② | Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors—Definition of Materiality |
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (Issued)The amendments clarify the explanation of the definition of materiality and amended IAS 1 and IAS 8 according to the definition. Materiality is assessed by reference to omission or misstatement of material information as well as effects of immaterial information, and to the nature of the users when determining the information to be disclosed by the Group. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the financial statements.
| ③ | Amendments to IFRS 16 Lease—Practical expedient for COVID-19-Related Rent Exemption, Concessions, Suspension |
As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a rent concession occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election shall account for any change in lease payments resulting from the rent concession the same way it would account for the change applying this Standard if the change were not a lease modification.

The above enacted or amended standards listed above, will not have a significant impact on the Group.
3) The standards and interpretations that are newly adopted by the Group during the previous period, and the changes in accounting policies thereof are as follows:
Adoption of IFRS 9 – Financial instruments
The Group initially applied IFRS 9 and related amendments made to other standards during the previous period, with January 1, 2018 as the date of initial application. IFRS 9 introduces new rules on: 1) classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, 2) impairment of financial assets, and 3) hedge accounting. Additionally, the Group adopted consequential amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures that were applied to the disclosures for 2018.
a) Classification and measurement of financial assets
All financial assets included in the scope of IFRS 9 are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value based on the Group’s business model for the management of financial assets and the nature of the contractual cash flows of the financial assets.
Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods (Financial assets at amortized cost).
Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)).
All other debt instruments and equity instruments are measured at their fair value at the end of subsequent accounting periods, and any change in the fair value is recognized as profit or loss (Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Group may make the following irrevocable choice or designation at the time of initial recognition of a financial asset.
The Group may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument within the scope of this standard that is neither held for trading nor is a contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies.
At initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost or FVTOCI may be irrevocably designated as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss mandatorily measured at fair value if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency.
As of the date of initial application of IFRS 9, there are no debt instruments classified either as financial assets at amortized cost or FVTOCI that are designated as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
When debt instruments measured at FVTOCI are derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. On the other hand, for equity instruments designated as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are subsequently reclassified to retained earnings. Debt instruments measured subsequently at amortized cost or at FVTOCI are subject to impairment.
The classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities in accordance with IFRS 9 and IAS 39 as of January 1, 2018 are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

At the date of the initial application of IFRS 9, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured at FVTPL that were reclassified to FVTOCI or amortized cost category.

b) Impairment of financial assets
The impairment model under IFRS 9 reflects expected credit losses, as opposed to incurred credit losses under IAS 39. Under the impairment approach in IFRS 9, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognized. Instead, the Group accounts for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit losses should be updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
The Group is required to recognize the expected credit losses for financial instruments measured at amortized cost or FVTOCI (debt instrument), and unused loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts that are subject to the impairment provisions of IFRS 9. In particular, IFRS 9 requires the Group to measure the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, or if the financial instrument is a purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset. If the credit risk of a financial instruments does not increase significantly after initial recognition (excluding “purchased or originated credit-impaired loans” - for financial assets already impaired at initial recognition), the Group measures the loss allowance on the financial instruments at the amount equivalent to the expected12-month credit loss.
Management assessed the impairment of the Group’s financial assets, lending arrangements and financial guarantees at the date of initial application by using reasonable and supportive measures that can be used without undue cost or effort in determining the credit risk of the financial instruments at initial recognition in accordance with IFRS 9 and in comparing above credit risk with the credit risk at the date of initial application. As of January 1, 2018, the results of the assessment are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

c) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
One of the major changes related to the classification and measurement of financial liabilities as a result of the adoption of IFRS 9 is the accounting for change in the fair value of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss due to the changes in issuer’s own credit risk. The Group recognizes the effect of changes in the credit risk of financial liabilities designated as at FVTOCI in other comprehensive income, except for cases where it creates or enlarges accounting mismatch of the profit or loss. Changes in fair value due to credit risk of financial liabilities are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss, but are reclassified as retained earnings when financial liabilities are derecognized.
In accordance with IAS 39, the entire of changes in fair value of financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL are recognized in profit or loss. As of January 1, 2018, the Group designated 251,796 million Korean Won of FVTPL out of 294,813,795 million of financial liabilities to be measured at FVTPL, and recognized 133 million Korean Won as accumulated other comprehensive loss in relation to the changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities.
d) Hedge accounting
The new hedge accounting model maintains three types of hedge accounting. However, it introduced more flexibility in the types of transactions that are eligible for hedge accounting and expanded the types of hedging instruments andnon-financial hedge items that qualify for hedge accounting. The standard related to the evaluation of hedge accounting has been amended as a whole, where it is now replaced by the principle of “economic relationship” between the hedged item and the hedging instrument. Retrospective assessment of the hedging effectiveness is no longer required. Additional disclosure requirements have been introduced in relation to the Group’s risk management activities.
In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 9 on hedge accounting, the Group adopted the hedge accounting provisions of IFRS 9 prospectively from January 1, 2018. As of the date of initial application, the Group concluded that the hedging relationship in accordance with IAS 39 is appropriate for hedge accounting under IFRS 9, thus the hedging relationship is considered to exist continually. Since the major conditions for hedging instruments and the hedged items are consistent, all hedging relationships are consistent within the effectiveness assessment requirements of IFRS 9. The Group has not designated a hedging relationship in accordance with IFRS 9 in which the hedge relationship would not have met the requirements for hedge accounting under IAS 39.
e) Effect on equity as a result of adoption of IFRS 9
The effect on equity due to the adoption of IFRS 9 as of January 1, 2018 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

(2) Basis of consolidated financial statement presentation
The consolidated financial statements incorporateconsist of the financial statements of the Groupparent company and the entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group.parent company (or its subsidiaries, which is the “Group”). Control is achieved where the Group 1) has the power over the investee, 2) is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and 3) has the abilityable to use its power to affect its returns. The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
When the Group has less than a majoritymost of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Group’s voting rights in an investee are sufficientenough to give it power, including:
The relative size of the Group’s holding of voting rights and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
Potential voting rights held by the Group, other vote holders or other parties;
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements;
Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Group has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.
Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. The carrying amount of thenon-controlling interest after the acquisition is the amount initially recognized plus the amount of proportionate interest of thenon-controlling interest in the changes in equity since the acquisition. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owner of the Group and to thenon-controlling interests even if this results in thenon-controlling interests having a deficitnegative (-) balance.
WhereWhen necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.
All intra-group transactions and, related assets and liabilities, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Non-controlling interest of a subsidiary are separately identified from the equity of the Group.Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at thenon-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on atransaction-by-transaction basis. Other types ofnon-controlling interests are measured at fair value. The carrying amount of thenon-controlling interest after the acquisition is the amount initially recognized with the amount entitled to the proportionate interest of thenon-controlling interest when there are changes in equity since the acquisition. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owner of the Group and to thenon-controlling interests even if this results in thenon-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and thenon-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which thenon-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owner of the parent company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and anynon-controlling interests. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the
related cumulative gain or loss has been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognized as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
(3) Business combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, liabilities assumed by the Group for the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the acquiree’s identifiable acquires assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the condition for recognition under IFRS 3 are recognized at their fair value, except for the followings:
deferredDeferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits, respectively;
liabilitiesLiabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date; and
non-currentNon-current assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale are measured in accordance with IFRS 5‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’Operations
Any excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of anynon-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest (if any) in the acquiree over the net of identifiable assets and liabilities assumed of the acquiree at the acquisition date is recognized as goodwill.
If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of anynon-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in net income as a bargain purchase gain.
The subsidiary’s non-controlling interests are identified separately from the Group’s equity. If the element of the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is the current interest at the acquisition date and the holder is entitled to a proportional share of the entity’s net assets, the non-controlling interest can be measured in 1) fair value or 2) proportionate share of the current equity instrument of the amount recognized for the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. The selection of these metrics is made for each acquisition transaction. All other non-controlling interests are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The carrying amount of the non-controlling interest after acquisition reflects the proportional interest of the non-controlling interest in changes in equity after acquisition in the initial recognition amount. Even if the non-controlling interest is a negative (-) balance, total comprehensive income is attributed to the non-controlling interest.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration other than the above is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value at the acquisition date (i.e., the date when the Group obtains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in net income(or other comprehensive income, if applicable). Amounts arising from changes in value of interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognized in other comprehensive income are recognized, identical to the treatment assuming interests are sold directly.
In case where i) a common entity ultimately controls over all participating entities, or businesses, in a business combination transaction, prior to and after the transaction continuously, and ii) the control is not temporary, the transaction meets the definition of “business combination under common control” and it is deemed that the transaction only results in the changes in legal substance, and not economic substance, from the perspective of the ultimate controlling party. Thus, in such transactions, the acquirer recognizes the assets and liabilities of the acquiree in its financial statements at the book values as recognized in the ultimate controlling party’s consolidated financial statements, and the difference between the book value of consideration transferred to and the book value of net assets transferred in is recognized as equity.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is not completed by the end of the reporting period in which the business combination occurred, the Group reports in consolidated financial statements the provisional amount of items that have not been accounted for. If there is new information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date during the measurement period (see above), the Group retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date or recognizes additional assets and liabilities to reflect the information that would have affected the measurement of the amount recognized at the acquisition date if it had already known at the acquisition date.
(4) Investments in joint ventures and associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence, and that is not a subsidiary or a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in making decision on the financial and operating policy of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to net assets relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The net income of current period and the assets and liabilities of the joint ventures and associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Under the equity method, an investment in the joint ventures and associates is initially recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the net assets of the joint ventures and associates and any impairment. When the Group’s share of losses of the joint ventures and associates exceeds the Group’s interest in the associate, the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures and associates.
Investment in joint ventures and associates are accounted for and applied with the equity method from the time the investee becomes an associate or a joint venture.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the joint ventures and associates recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition exists after the review, it is recognized immediately in net income.
The requirements of IAS 28- 28—Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures to determine whether there has been a loss event are applied to identify whether it is necessary to recognize any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in the joint ventures and associates. When necessary,If there is any indication for impairments defined under IAS 36—Impairment of Assets, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36- Impairment of Assets36 as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset (including goodwill), which forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
The Group ceases to use the equity method from the time it fails meet the definition of an associate or a joint venture. Upon a loss of significant influence over the joint ventures and associates, the Group discontinues the use of the equity method and measures at fair value of any investment that the Group retains in the former joint ventures and associates from the date when the Group loses significant influence. The fair value of the investment is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments; Recognition and Measurement. The Group recognized differences between the carrying amount and fair value in net income and it is included in determination of the gain or loss on disposal of joint ventures and associates. The Group accounts for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that joint ventures and associates on the same basis as would be required if the joint ventures and associates had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income by an associate or a joint venture would be reclassified to net income on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to net income as a reclassification adjustment.
When the Group’s ownership of interest in an associate or a joint venture decreases but the Group continues to maintain significant influence over an associate or a joint venture, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that decrease in ownership interest if the gain or loss would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities. Meanwhile, if interest on associate or joint venture meets the definition ofnon-current asset held for sale, it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5.
The Group continues to use the equity method when an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate. There is no remeasurement to fair value upon such changes in ownership interests.
When a subsidiarythe Group transacts with an associate or a joint venture of the Group, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate or joint venture are recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate or joint venture that are not related to the Group.
The Group applies IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’,Financial Instruments, including the impairment requirements, to its long-term investment interests in associates and joint ventures that form part of its net investment without applying the equity method. In addition, when applying IFRS 9 to long-term investments, the Group does not consider adjustments to the carrying amount required by IAS 28. Examples of such adjustments include an impairment assessment or an adjustment to the carrying amount of the long-term investment interest resulting from the allocation of losses to the investee in accordance with IAS 28.
(5) Investment in Jointjoint operation
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
When the Group operates as a joint operator, it recognizes in relation to its interest in a joint operation:
its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation;
its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.
The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relatingthat correspond to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the IFRSs and IASs applicable to the particularspecific assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
When the Group enters into a transaction with a joint operation in which it is a joint operator, such as a sale or contribution of assets, it is conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation and, as such, the Group recognizes gains and losses resulting from such a transaction only to the extent of the other parties’ interests in the joint operation.
When the Group enters into a transaction with a joint operation in which it is a joint operator, such as a purchase of assets, it does not recognize proportional share of profit or loss until the asset is sold to a third party.
(6) Revenue recognition
IFRS 15 requires the recognition of revenues based on transaction price allocated to the performance obligation when or as the Group performs that obligation to the customer. Since revenuesRevenues other than those from contracts with customers, such as interest revenue and loan origination fee (cost), are measuredrecognized through effective interest rate method.
1) Revenues from contracts with customers
The Group recognizes revenue when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. When a performance obligation is satisfied, the Group shall recognizes
recognize as a revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The Group is recognizing revenue by major sources as shown below:
1)
Fees and commission received for brokerage
The fees and commission received for agency are the amount of consideration or fee expected to be entitled to receive in return for providing goods or services to the other parties with the Group acting as an agency, such as in the case of sales of bancassurance and beneficiary certificates. The majorityMost of these fees and commission received for brokerage are from the business activities relevant to Banking segment.
2)
Fees and commission received related to credit
The fees and commission received related to credit mainly include the lending fees received from the loan activity and the fees received in the L/C transactions.

The fees and commission received for electronic finance include fees received in return for providing various kinds of electronic financial services through firm-banking and CMS. These fees are recognized as revenue immediately upon the completion of services. The majorityMost of these fees and commission received for electronic finance are from the business activities relevant to Banking and Investment banking segment.
4)
Fees and commission received on foreign exchange handling
The fees and commission received on foreign exchange handling consist of various fees incurred when transferring foreign currency. The point of processing the customer’s request is the time when performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue is immediately recognized when fees and commission are received after requests are processed. The business activities relevant to these fees and commission received on foreign exchange handling are substantially attributable to Banking segment.
5)
Fees and commission received on foreign exchange
The fees and commission received on foreign exchange consist of fees related to the issuance of various certificates, such as exchange, import and export performance certificates, purchase certificates, etc. The point of processing the customer’s request is the time when performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue is immediately recognized when fees and commission are received after requests are processed.

7)
Fees and commission received on credit card
The fees and commission received on credit card consist mainly of merchant account fees and annual fees.
The Group recognizes merchant account fees by multiplying agreed commission rate to the amount paid by using the credit card. The annual fees are performance obligation satisfied over time and are recognized over agreed periods after the annual fees are paid in advance. The business activities relevant to these fees and commission received on credit card are substantially attributable to Credit cards segment.
8)
Fees and commission received on securities business
The fees and commission received on securities business consist mainly of fees and commission for the sale of beneficiary certificates, and these fees are recognized when the beneficiary certificates are sold to customers.

9)
Fees and commission from trust management
The fees and commission from trust management consist of fees and commission received in return for the operation and management services for entrusted assets. These operation and management services are performance obligations satisfied over time, and revenue is recognized over the service period. Among the fees and commission from trust management, variable considerations such as profit commission that are affected by the value of entrusted assets and base return of the future periods are recognized as revenue when limitations to the estimates are lifted. The majorityMost of these fees and commission received for brokerage are from the business activities relevant to Banking segment.
10)
Fees and commission received on credit Information
The fees and commission received on credit Information are composed of the fees and commission received by performing credit investigation and proxy collection services.

The majorityMost of these fees and commission received for brokerage are from the business activities relevant to other segment.segments.
11)
Other fees
Other fees are usually fees related to remittances, but include fees related to various other services provided to customers by the Group. These fees are recognized when transactions occur at the customers’ request and services are provided, at the same time when commission are received. These other fees occur across all operating segments.
2) Revenues from sources other than contracts with customers
1) Interest income
| ① | Interest income |
Interest income on financial assets measured at FVTOCI and financial assets at amortized costs is measured using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating the interest income over the expected life of the asset. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows to the instrument’s initial unamortized cost over the expected period, or shorter if appropriate. Future cash flows include commissions and cost of reward points(limitedpoints (limited to the primary component of effective interest rate) and other premiums or discounts that are paid or received between the contractual parties when calculating the effective interest rate, but does not include expected credit losses. All contractual terms of a financial instrument are considered when estimating future cash flows.
For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest revenue is recognized by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from initial recognition. Even if the financial asset is no longer impaired in the subsequent periods due to credit improvement, the basis of interest revenue calculation is not changed from amortized cost to unamortized cost of the financial assets.
2) Loan origination fees and costs
| ② | Loan origination fees and costs |
The commission fees earned on loans, which is part of the effective interest of loans, is accounted for as deferred origination fees. Incremental costs related to the origination of loans are accounted for as deferred origination fees and is being added or deducted to/from interest income on loans using effective interest rate method.
3) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive dividends as a shareholder is confirmed. Dividend income is recognized as an appropriate item of profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income according to the classification of financial instruments.
(7) Accounting for foreign currencies
The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Korean Won, which is the functional currency of the Group. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at its prevailing exchange rates at the date. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of a derivative that qualifies as a cash flow hedge and the foreign exchange differences on monetary items that form part of net investment in foreign operations are recognized in equity.
Assets and liabilities of the foreign operations subject to consolidation are translated into Korean Won at foreign exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. Except for situations in which it is required to use exchange rates at the date of transaction due to significant changes in exchange rates during the period, items that belong to profit or loss shall be measured by average exchange rate, with foreign exchange differences recognized as other comprehensive income and added to equity (allocated tonon-controlling interests, if appropriate). When foreign operations are disposed, the controlling interest’s share of accumulated foreign exchange differences related to such foreign operations will be reclassified to profit or loss, whilenon-controlling interest’s corresponding share will not be reclassified.
Adjustments to fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities, and goodwill arising from the acquisition of foreign operations will be treated as assets and liabilities of the corresponding foreign operation, and is translated using foreign exchange rates at the end of the period. The foreign exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(8) Cash and cash equivalents
The Group is classifying cash on hand, demand deposits, interest-earning deposits with original maturities of up to three months on acquisition date, and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value as cash and cash equivalents.
(9) Financial assets and financial liabilities
The Group’s accounting policies in accordance with IFRS 9 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 are as follows:
1) Financial assets
A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized or derecognized on the trade or settlement date. A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose term requires delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified into financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at FVTOCI, and financial assets at amortized cost according to its business model and contractual cash flows.
a) Business model
The Group evaluates the way business is being managed, and the purpose of the business model for managing a financial asset best reflects the way information is provided to the management at its portfolio level. Such information considers the following:
The accounting policies and purpose specified for the portfolio, the actual operation of such policies. This includes strategy of the management focusing on the receipt of contractual interest revenue, maintaining a certain level of interest income, matching the duration of financial assets and the duration of corresponding liabilities to obtain the asset, and outflow or realization of expected cash flows from disposal of assets
The way the performance of a financial asset held under the business model is evaluated, and the way such evaluation is being reported to the management
The risk affecting the performance of the business model (and financial assets held under the business model), and the way such risk is being managed
The compensation plan for the management (e.g. whether the management is being compensated based on the fair value of assets or based on contractual cash flows received)
Frequency, amount, timing and reason for sale of financial assets in the past, and forecast of future sale activities.
b) Contractual cash flows
The principal is defined to be the fair value of a financial assets at initial recognition. Interest is not only composed of consideration for the time value of money, consideration for the credit risk related to remaining principal at a certain period of time, and consideration for other cost (e.g. liquidity risk and cost of operation) and fundamental risk associated with lending, but also profit.
When evaluating whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interests,interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the financial instrument. When a financial asset contains contractual conditions that modify the timing and amount of contractual cash flows, it is required to determine whether contractual cash flows that arise during the remaining life of the financial instrument due to such contractual condition are solely payments of principal and interest. The Group considers the following elements when evaluating the above:
Conditions that lead to modification of timing or amount of cash flows
Contractual terms that adjust contractual nominal interest, including floating rate features
Early payment features and maturity extension features
Contractual terms that limit the Group’s claim on cash flows arising from certain assets (e.g.non-recourse feature)
1)
| ① | Financial assets at FVTPL |
The Group is classifying those financial assets that are not classified as either financial assets at amortized cost or financial assets at FVTOCI, and those designated to be measured at FVTPL, as financial assets at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value, and related profit or loss is recognized as gain (loss) on financial instruments at FVTPL in net income. Transaction costs related to acquisition at initial recognition is recognized in net income immediately upon its occurrence.
It is possible to designate a financial asset as financial asset at FVTPL if at initial recognition: (a) it is possible to remove or significantly reduce recognition or measurement mismatch that may otherwise have occurred if not for its designation as financial asset at FVTPL; (b) the financial asset forms part of the Group’s
financial instrument group (a group composed of a combination of financial asset or liability), is measured at fair value and is being evaluated for its performance, and such information is provided internally; and (c) the financial asset is part of a contract that contains one or more of embedded derivatives, and is a hybrid contract in which designation as financial asset at FVTPL is allowed under IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’.Financial Instruments. However, the designation is irrevocable.
2
| ② | Financial assets at FVTOCI |
When financial assets are held under a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and when contractual cash flows from such financial assets are solely payments of principal and interest, the financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTOCI. Also, for investments in equity instruments that are not held for short-term trade, an irrevocable election is available at initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value as other comprehensive income.
At initial recognition, financial assets at FVTOCI is measured at its fair value plus any direct transaction cost, and is subsequently measured in fair value. However, for equity instruments that do not have a quotation in an active market and in which fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are
measured at cost. The income tax effects related to the changes in fair value except for profit or loss items such as impairment losses (reversals), interest revenue calculated by using effective interest method, and foreign exchange gain or loss about debt instrument are recognized as other comprehensive income until the asset’s disposal. Upon derecognition, the accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to net income for FVTOCI (debt instrument), and reclassified within the equity for FVTOCI (equity instruments).
3
| ③ | Financial assets at amortized cost |
When financial assets are held under a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and when contractual cash flows from such financial assets are solely payments of principal and interest, the financial assets are classified as financial assets at amortized cost. At initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost are recognized at fair value plus any direct transaction cost. Financial assets at amortized cost is presented at amortized cost using effective interest method, less any loss allowance.allowance for credit losses.
2) Financial liabilities
At initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into either financial liabilities at FVTPL or financial liabilities at amortized cost.
Financial liabilities are usually classified as financial liabilities at FVTPL when they are acquired with a purpose to repurchase them within a short period of time, when they are part of a certain financial instrument portfolio that is actually and recently being managed with a purpose of short-term profit and joint management by the Group at initial recognition, and when they are derivatives that do not qualify as hedging instruments. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measuredinitially recognized at fair value, pluswith any direct transaction cost at initial recognition,recognized in profit or loss, and are subsequently measured at fair value. ProfitAny profit or loss arising from financial liabilities at FVTPL isare recognized as gain (loss) on financial instruments at FVTPL in net income when occurred.profit or loss.
It is possible to designate a financial liability as financial liability at FVTPL if at initial recognition: (a) it is possible to remove or significantly reduce recognition or measurement mismatch that may otherwise have occurred if not for its designation as financial liability at FVTPL; (b) the financial asset forms part of the Group’s financial instrument group (a group composed of a combination of financial asset or liability) according to the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, is measured at fair value and is being evaluated for its performance, and such information is provided internally; and (c) the financial liability is part of a contract that contains one or more of embedded derivatives, and is a hybrid contract in which designation as financial liability at FVTPL is allowed under IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’.Financial Instruments.
Financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value, with any direct transaction cost recognized in profit or loss, and are subsequently measured at fair value. Any profit or loss from financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL are recognized as gain (loss) on financial instruments at FVTPL in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities not classified as financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at amortized cost. The Group is classifying liabilities such as deposits due to customers, borrowings and debentures as financial liabilities at amortized cost.
3) Reclassification
Financial assets are not reclassified after initial recognition unless the Group modifies the business model used to manage financial assets. When the Group modifies the business model used to manage financial assets, all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period after the modification.
4) Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognized when contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets are expired, or when substantially all of risk and reward for holding financial assets is transferred to another entity as a result of a sale of financial assets. If the Group does not have and does not transfer substantially all of the risk and reward of holding financial assets with control of the transferred financial assets retained, the Group recognizes financial assets to the extent of its continuing involvement. If the Group holds substantially all the risk and reward of holding a financial asset, it continues to recognize that asset and proceeds are accounted for as collateralized borrowings.
When a financial asset is fully derecognized, the difference between the book value and the sum of proceeds and accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized as gain (loss) on financial instruments at FVTOCI profit or loss in case of FVTOCI (debt instruments), and as retained earnings for FVTOCI (equity instruments).
In case when a financial asset is not fully derecognized, the Group allocates the book value into amounts retained in the books and removed from the books, based on the relative fair value of each portion at the date of sale, and based on the degree of continuing involvement. For the derecognized portion of the financial assets, the difference between its book value and the sum of proceeds and the portion of accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to that portion will be recognized in profit or loss in case of debt instruments and recognized in retained earnings in case of equity instruments. The accumulated other comprehensive income is distributed to the portion of book value retained in the books, and to the portion of book value removed from the books.
The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.
When the Group exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with the substantially different terms, such exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, the Group accounts for substantial modification of terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new liability. It is assumed that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate is at least 10 percent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liabilityliability.
5) Fair value of financial instruments
Financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at FVTOCI are measured and presented in consolidated financial statements at their fair values, and all derivatives are also subject to fair value measurement.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to exchange an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a recent transaction between independent parties that are reasonable and willing. Fair value is the transaction price of identical financial assets or financial liabilities generated in an active market. An active market is a market where trade volume is sufficient and objective price information is available due to the fact that bid and ask price differences are small.
When trade volume of a financial instrument is low, when transaction prices within the market show large differences among them, or when it cannot be concluded that a financial instrument is being traded within an active market due to disclosures being extremely shallow, fair value is measured using valuation techniques based on alternative market information or using internal valuation techniques based on general and observable information obtained from objective sources. Market information includes maturity and characteristics, duration, similar yield curve, and variability measurement of financial instruments of similar nature. Fair value amount contains uniqueincludes management of an entity’s specific assumptions on each entity (the Group concluded that it is using assumptions applied in valuing financial instruments in the market, or risk-adjusted assumptions in case marketability does not exist).
The market approach and income approach, which are valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments, both require significant judgment. Market approach measures fair value using either a recent transaction price that includes the financial instrument, or observable information on comparable firm or assets. Income approach measures fair value through discounting future cash flows with a discount rate reflecting market expectations, and revenue, operating income, depreciation, capital expenditures, income tax, working capital and estimated residual value of financial investments are being considered when deriving future cash flows. Valuation techniques such as the above include estimates based on the financial instruments’ complexity and usefulness of observable information in the market.
The valuation techniques used in the evaluation of financial instruments are explained below.
a)
| a) | Financial assets at FVTPL and Financial assets at FVTOCI |
The fair value of equity securities included in financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at FVTOCI category is recognized in the statement of financial position at its available market price. Debt securities traded in theover-the-counter market are generally recognized at an amount computed by an independent appraiser. When the Group uses the fair value determined by independent appraisers, the Group usually obtains three values from three different appraisers for each financial instrument, and selects the minimum amount without making additional adjustments. For equity securities without marketability, the Group uses the amount determined by the independent appraiser. The Group verifies the prices obtained from appraisers in various ways, including the evaluation of independent appraisers’ competency, indirect verification through comparison between appraisers’ price and other available market information, and reperformed by employees who have knowledge of valuation models and assumptions that appraisers used.
b)
| b) | Derivatives |
The Group’s transactions involving derivatives such as futures and exchange traded options are measured at market value. For exchange traded derivatives classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, the fair value is estimated using internal valuation techniques. If there are no publicly available market prices because they are tradedover-the-counter, fair value is measured through internal valuation techniques. When using internal valuation techniques to derive fair value, the types of derivatives, base interest rate or characteristics of prices, or stock market indices are considered. When variables used in the internal valuation techniques are not observable information in the market, such variables may contain significant estimates.
c)
| c) | Adjustment of valuation amount |
The Group is exposed to credit risk when a counterparty to a derivative contract does not perform its contractual obligation, and the exposure amount is equal to the amount of derivative asset recognized in the
statement of financial position. When the Group earns income through valuation of derivatives, such income is recognized as derivative asset in the statement of financial position. Some of the derivatives are traded in the market, but most of the derivatives are measured at estimated fair value derived from internal valuation models that use observable information in the market. As such, in order to estimate the fair value there should be an adjustment made to incorporate counterparty’s credit risk, and credit risk adjustment is being considered when valuing derivative assets such asover-the counter derivatives. The amount of financial liabilities is also adjusted by the Group’s own credit risk when valuing them.
The amount of adjustment is derived from counterparty’s probability of default and loss given default. This adjustment considers contractual matters that are designed to reduce the Group’s exposure to each counterparty’s credit risk. When derivatives are under master netting arrangement, the exposure used in the computation of credit risk adjustment is a net amount after adding/deducting cash collateral received (or paid) from loss(or gain) position derivatives with the same counterparty.
6) Expected credit losses on financial assets
The Group recognizes loss allowance for credit losses on expected credit losses for the following assets:
Financial assets at amortized cost
Debt instruments measured at FVTOCI
Contract assets as defined by IFRS 15
Expected credit losses are weighted-average value of a range of possible results, considering the time value of money, and are measured by incorporating information on current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions that are available without undue cost or effort.
The methods to measure expected credit losses are classified into following three categories in accordance with IFRS:
General approach: Financial assets that does not belong to below two models and unused loan commitments
Simplified approach: When financial assets are either trade receivables, contract assets or lease receivables
Credit impairment model: Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets
The measurement of allowance for credit loss allowance under general approach is differentiated depending on whether the credit risk has increased significantly after initial recognition. That is, loss allowance for credit losses is measured based on12-month expected credit loss when the credit risk has not increased significantly after initial recognition, while loss allowance for credit losses is measured at lifetime expected credit loss when credit risk has increased significantly. Lifetime is the expected remaining life of the financial instrument up to the maturity date of the contract.
The measurement of loss allowance for credit losses under simplified approach is always based on lifetime expected credit loss, and loss allowance for credit losses under credit impairment model is measured as the cumulative change in lifetime expected credit loss since initial recognition.
a) Measurement of expected credit losses on financial asset at amortized cost
The expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost is measured by the difference between the contractual cash flows during the period and the present value of expected cash flows. Expected cash inflows are computed for individually significant financial assets in order to calculate expected credit losses.
When financial assets that are not individually significant, they are included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and expected credit losses of the group are calculated collectively.
Expected credit losses are deducted through loss allowance for credit losses account, and when the financial asset is determined to be uncollectible, the loss allowance for credit losses is written off from the books along with the related financial asset. When loan receivable previously written off is subsequently collected, the related loss allowance is increased and changes in loss allowance are recognized in profit or loss.
b) Measurement of expected credit losses on financial asset at FVTOCI (debt securities)
The measurement method of expected credit loss is identical to financial asset at amortized cost, but changes in the loss allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. When financial assets at FVTOCI is disposed or repaid, the related loss allowance for credit losses is reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income.
The comparativegain (loss) on financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 are prepared in accordance with IAS 39 as follows:
1) Financial assets
A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose term requires delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified intoheld-for-trading, designated asinstruments at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), Available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets,held-to-maturity (“HTM”) investments and loans and receivables.
a) Financial assets at FVTPL
The Group classifies financial assets as financial assets measured at FVTPL when they are either held for trading or designated to be measured at FVTPL. Financial assets acquired with the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as financial assets held for trading, and are measured at fair value with related valuation gain or loss recognizedFVTOCI in net income. Any transaction cost related to the acquisition of financial assets at initial recognition is recognized in net income upon its occurrence.
A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if: (a) such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or (b) the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or (c) it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial assets designated by the Group on initial recognition as at FVTPL are recognized at fair value, with transaction costs recognized in net income, and are subsequently measured at fair value. Gains and losses on financial assets that are designated as at FVTPL are recognized in net income as they arise.
b) AFS financial assets
Financial assets that are not classified as HTM, financial assets at FVTPL, or loans and receivables, are classified as AFS. Financial assets can be designated as AFS on initial recognition. AFS financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus directly related transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at fair
value. Unquoted equity investments whose fair value cannot be measured reliably are carried at cost and classified as AFS financial assets. Impairment losses in monetary andnon-monetary AFS financial assets and dividends onnon-monetary financial assets are recognized in net income. Interest revenue on monetary financial assets is calculated using the effective interest method. Other changes in the fair value of AFS financial assets and any related tax are reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until disposal, when the cumulative gain or loss is recognized in net income.
c) HTM financial assets
A financial asset may be classified as a HTM investment only if it has fixed or determinable payments, a fixed maturity, and the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold the financial asset to maturity. HTM investments are initially recognized at fair value plus directly related transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses.
d) Loans and receivables
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable repayments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables, except those that are classified as AFS or asheld-for-trading, or designated as at FVTPL. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value plus directly related transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method, except for the short-term receivables to which the present value discount is not meaningful.
2) Financial liabilities
On initial recognition financial liabilities are classified financial liabilities at FVTPL (held for trading, and financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL) and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.
A financial liability is classified asheld-for-trading if it is incurred principally for repurchase in the near term, or forms part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of short-term profit taking, or it is a derivative (not in a qualifying hedge relationship).Held-for-trading financial liabilities are recognized at fair value with transaction costs being recognized in net income. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value. Gains and losses are recognized in net income as they arise.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if: (a) such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or (b) the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or (c) it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities that the Group designates on initial recognition as being at FVTPL are recognized at fair value, with transaction costs being recognized in net income, and are subsequently measured at fair value. Gains and losses on financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL are recognized in net income as they incur.
All other financial liabilities, such as deposits due to customers, borrowings, and debentures, are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
3) Reclassifications
Held-for-trading and AFS financial assets that meet the definition of loans and receivables(non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market) may be reclassified to loans and receivables if the Group has the intention and ability to hold the financial asset for the foreseeable future or until maturity. The Group typically regards the foreseeable future as twelve months from the date of reclassification. Reclassifications are made at fair value. This fair value becomes the asset’s new cost or amortized cost as appropriate. Gains and losses recognized up to the date of reclassification are not reversed.
4) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual right to the cash flows from the asset is expired, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another company. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulated gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss.
On derecognition of a financial assets other than in its entirety, the Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognize under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognizes on the basis of the relative fair value of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part that is no longer recognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is no longer recognized on the basis of the relative fair value of those parts.
The Group derecognizes the financial liability, when Group’s obligations are discharged, canceled or expired. The difference between paid cost and the carrying amount of financial liabilities is recorded in profit or loss.
5) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
Financial instruments classified asheld-for-trading or designated as at FVTPL and financial assets classified as AFS are recognized in the financial statements at fair value. All derivatives are measured at fair value.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in and orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair values are determined from quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or financial liabilities where these are available. The Group characterizes active markets as those in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Where a financial instrument is not in active market characterized by low transaction volumes, price quotations which vary substantially among market participants, or in which minimal information is released publicly, fair values are established using valuation techniques rely on alternative market data or internally developed models using significant inputs that are generally readily observable from objective sources. Market data includes prices of financial instruments with similar maturities and characteristics, duration, interest rate
yield curves, and measures of volatility. The amount determined to be fair value may incorporate the management of the Group’s own assumptions (including assumptions that the Group believes market participants would use in valuing the financial instruments and assumptions relating to appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance and lack of marketability).
The valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments include market approach and income approach, each of which involves a significant degree of judgment. Under the market approach, fair value is determined by reference to a recent transaction involving the financial instruments or by reference to observable valuation measures for comparable companies or assets. Under the income approach, fair value is determined by converting future amounts (e.g., cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted) using current market expectations about the future amounts. In determining value under this approach, the Group makes assumptions regarding, among other things, revenues, operating income, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, income taxes, working capital needs, and terminal value of the financial investments. These valuation techniques involve a degree of estimation, the extent of which depends on the instrument’s complexity and the availability of market-based data.
The following are descriptions of valuation methodologies used by the Group to measure various financial instruments at fair value.
a) Financial assets at FVTPL and AFS financial assets
The fair value of the securities included in financial assets at FVTPL and AFS financial assets are recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position based on quoted market prices, where available. For debt securities traded in the OTC market, the Group generally determines fair value based on prices obtained from independent pricing services. Specifically, with respect to independent pricing services, the Group obtains three prices per instrument from reputable independent pricing services in Korea, and generally uses the lowest of the prices obtained from such services without further adjustment. Fornon-marketable equity securities, the Group obtains prices from the independent pricing services. The Group validates prices received from such independent pricing services using a variety of means, including verification of the qualification of the independent pricing services, corroboration of the pricing by comparing the prices among the independent pricing services and by reference to other available market data, and review of the pricing model and assumptions used by the independent pricing services by the Group’s personnel who are familiar with market-related conditions.
b) Derivatives
Quoted market prices are used for the Group’s exchange-traded derivatives, such as certain interest rate futures and option contracts. All of the Group’s derivatives are traded in OTC markets where quoted market prices are not readily available are valued using internal valuation techniques. Valuation techniques and inputs to internally developed models depend on the type of derivative and nature of the underlying rate, price or index upon which the derivative’s value is based. If the model inputs for certain derivatives are not observable in a liquid market, significant judgments on the level of inputs used for valuation techniques are required.
c) Adjustment of valuation amount
By using derivatives, the Group is exposed to credit risk if counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as expected. If counterparty fails to perform, counterparty credit risk is equal to the amount reported as a derivative asset in the consolidated statements of financial position. The amounts reported as a derivative asset are derivative contracts in a gain position. Few of the Group’s derivatives are listed on an exchange. The majority of derivative positions is valued using internally developed models that use as their basis observable market inputs. Therefore, an adjustment is necessary to reflect the credit quality of each counterparty to arrive at fair value. Counterparty credit risk adjustments are applied to derivative assets, such as OTC derivative instruments,
when the market inputs used in valuation models may not be indicative of the creditworthiness of the counterparty. Adjustments are also made when valuing financial liabilities to reflect the Group’s own credit standing.
The adjustment is based on probability of default of a counterparty and loss given default. The adjustment also takes into account contractual factors designed to reduce the Group’s credit exposure to each counterparty. To the extent derivative assets (liabilities) are subject to master netting arrangements, the exposure used to calculate the credit risk adjustment is net of derivatives in a loss (gain) position with the same counterparty and cash collateral received (paid).
6) Impairment of the financial assets
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets classified as AFS, HTM or loans and receivables is impaired. A financial asset or portfolio of financial assets is impaired and an impairment loss incurred if there is objective evidence of impairment as result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition asset and that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset.
a) Financial assets carried at amortized cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on a financial asset or group of financial assets classified as HTM investments or as loans and receivables have been incurred, the Group measures the amount of the loss as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets and the present value of estimated future cash flows from the asset or group of assets discounted at the effective interest rate of the instrument at initial recognition. For collateralized loans and receivables, estimated future cash flows include cash flows that may result from foreclosure less the costs of obtaining and selling the collateral.
Impairment losses are assessed individually for financial assets that are individually significant and assessed either individually or collectively for assets that are not individually significant. In making collective assessment of impairment, financial assets are grouped into portfolios on the basis of similar risk characteristics. Future cash flows from these portfolios are estimated on the basis of the contractual cash flows and historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. Historical loss experience is adjusted, on the basis of observable data, to reflect current conditions not affecting the period of historical experience.
Impairment losses are recognized in net income and the carrying amount of the financial asset or group of financial assets reduced by establishing a provision for impairment losses. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss reduces and the reduction can be ascribed to an event after the impairment was recognized (i.e., improvement in the credit quality of a debtor), the previously recognized loss is reversed by adjusting the provision. Once an impairment loss has been recognized on a financial asset or group of financial assets, interest income is recognized on the carrying amount using the rate of interest at which estimated future cash flows were discounted in measuring impairment.
It is not the Group’s usual practice towrite-off the asset at the time an impairment loss is recognized. Impaired loans and receivables are written off (i.e. the impairment provision is applied in writing down the loan’s carrying value in full) when the Group concludes that there is no longer any realistic prospect of recovery of part or the entire loan. Amounts recovered after a loan has been written off are reflected to the provision for the period in which they are received.
b) Financial assets carried at fair value
When a decline in the fair value of a financial asset classified as AFS has been recognized directly in other comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss is removed
from other comprehensive income and recognized in net income. The loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost of the financial asset and its current fair value. Impairment losses on AFS equity instruments are not reversed through net income, but those on AFS debt instruments are reversed, if there is a decrease in the cumulative impairment loss that is objectively related to a subsequent event.
(10) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are presented as a net amount in the statements of financial position when the Group has an enforceable legal right and an intention to settle on a net basis or to realize an asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(11) Investment properties
The Group classifies a property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation as an investment property. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs, less subsequent depreciation and impairment.
Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of the asset or recognized as a separate asset if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the assets will flow into the Group and the cost of an asset can be measured reliably, and the book value of a portion of an asset that are replaced by a subsequent expenditure is removed from the books. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
While land is not depreciated, all other investment properties are depreciated based on the depreciation method and useful lives of premises and equipment. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, and when it is deemed appropriate to change them, the effect of any change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimates.
An investment property is derecognized from the consolidated financial statements on disposal or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected even from its disposal. The gain or loss on the derecognition of an investment property is calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the property and is recognized as other non-operating income (expense) in profit or loss in the period of the derecognition.
(12) Premises and equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of premises and equipment is expenditure directly attributable to their purchase or construction, which includes any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. It also includes the initial estimate of costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Subsequent costs are recognized in the carrying amount of an asset or as a separate asset (if appropriate) if it is probable that future economic benefit associated with the assets will flow into the Group and the cost of an asset can be measured reliably. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
While land is not depreciated, for all other premises and equipment, depreciation is charged to net income on a straight-line basis by applying the following estimated economic useful lives on the amount of cost or revalued amount less residual value.
Useful life | ||
Buildings used for business purpose | 35 to 57 years | |
Structures in leased office | 4 to 5 years | |
Properties for business purpose | 4 to 5 years | |
|
The Group reassesses the depreciation method, the estimated useful lives and residual values of premises and equipment at the end of each reporting period. If changes in the estimates are deemed appropriate, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate. When there is an indicator of impairment and the carrying amount of a premises and equipment item exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount of such asset is reduced to the recoverable amount.
(13) Intangible assets and goodwill
The Group is recognizingrecognizes the acquisition cost of an intangible assets measured atasset as the manufacturing cost or acquisitionpurchase cost plus additional incidental expenses lessexpenses. Development costs are the sum of expenditures incurred after the asset recognition requirements, such as technical feasibility and future economic benefits, are met. After the initial recognition, the carrying value is presented as the accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. losses deducted from the cost.
The Group’s intangible asset are amortized over the following economic lives using the straight-line method. However, for some intangible assets, the period of time that is expected to be available is not predictable, so the useful life of some intangible assets is assessed as indefinite and not depreciated.
The estimated useful life and amortization method of intangible assets with a finite useful life are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. The estimated useful life and amortization method of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the asset has an indefinite useful life. If changes in the estimates are deemed appropriate, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.
Useful life | ||
Industrial property rights | 10 years | |
Development costs | 5 years | |
Software and others |
In addition, when an indicator that intangible assets are impaired is noted, and the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an impairment test at the cash-generating unit level every year, and whenever there is an indicator that goodwill is impaired.
Goodwill resulting from an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating unit (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
(14) Impairment ofnon-monetary assets
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or intangible assets that are not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether or not there is any indication of impairment. All other assets are tested for impairment by estimating the recoverable amount when there is an objective indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverable amount is the higher of value in use or net fair value, less costs to sell. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and such impairment loss is recognized immediately in net income.
(15) Leases
As the Group applied IFRS 16 using the revised retrospective method, the comparative financial information has not been prepared. The Group also applied IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. The accounting policies in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are separately disclosed.
1) Accounting policy applied as of January 1, 2019.
The Group determines whether the agreementcontract is a lease or includes a lease at the time of the contract agreement. In exchange for consideration in a contract, the contract is either a lease or includes a lease if the control over the use of the identified asset is transferred for a period of time, the contract is a lease or includes a lease.time. In determining whether a contract transfers control ofover the use of the asset to which it is identified, asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease in IFRS 16.
This accounting policy applies to contracts entered into as of January 1, 2019.
1)
① The Group as a lessee
The Group recognizes theright-of-use asset and the lease liability at the commencement date of the lease. Theright-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date(less any lease incentives received), initial direct costs, and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located.
Theright-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement of the lease to the end of the lease term. However, if the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term or if the cost of theright-of-use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase option, the lessee depreciates theright-of-use asset same as a fixed asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Theright-of-use asset may be reduced by an impairment of the underlying asset or adjusted by remeasurement of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. The Group generally uses the incremental borrowing rate.
The Group makes adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and the characteristics of the lease asset in interest rates obtained from external financial information, and calculates the incremental borrowing rate.
The Group calculates the lease term by including the relevant period when it is quite certain that the lessee will exercise the extension option or the termination option. The Group calculates the enforceable period in consideration of the economic disadvantages of terminating the contract if the lessee and the lessor have the right to terminate it without the consent of the other parties.
The lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
Fixed payments (includingin-substance fixed payments)
Variable lease payments that depend on an index(or a rate), initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees
The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, lease payments of the extended period if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise extension option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease
The lease liability is subsequently increased be the interest expense recognized for the lease liability and decreased by reflecting the payment of the lease payments. The lease liability is remeasured if the future lease payments change depending on changes in the index(or a rate), changes in the expected amount to be paid under the residual value guarantee, and changes in the assessment of whether the purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or not to exercise the terminate option.
When remeasuring a lease liability, the relatedright-of-use asset is adjusted and if the carrying amount of theright-of-use asset decreases to zero, the remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss.
The Group applies its judgment when determining the lease term for some lease contracts that include the extension option. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the option significantly affects the lease term and therefore has a significant impact on the amount of lease liabilities and theright-of-use asset.
Because the Group can replace the asset without significant cost or business discontinuation, the option to extend the lease is not included in the lease liability in most offices and vehicle transport leases.
The Group reevaluates the lease term when the option is exercised (or not exercised) or the Group is liable to exercise (or not exercise) the option. Group will change its judgment only when significant events occur that affect the lessee’s control and the determination of the lease term, or there is a significant change in the circumstances.
Lease liabilities and right-of-use-asset increased by 15,810 million Won, reflecting the exercise impact of the extension and termination options during the current term.
In the statement of financial position, the Group classified theright-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property as ‘premises and equipment’ and the lease liabilities as ‘other financial liabilities.’
The Group has chosen a practical expedient that does not recognize theright-of-use asset and lease liabilities for short-term leases with a lease term less than 12 months and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2)② The Group as a lessor
At the date of the agreement or the effective date of the modification containing the lease element, the Group allocates the consideration of the contract to each lease element based on the basis of its relative stand-alone price.
As a lessor, the Group classifies its leases as either an operatinga finance lease or a financean operating lease at the commencement date.
The Group subsequently judges whether the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset, otherwise a lease is classified as an operating lease.
If the agreement contains both lease andnon-lease elements, the Group applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration of the contract.
The Group applies the derecognition and impairment provisions of IFRS 9 to its net investment in the lease. The Group also carries out regular review of the unguaranteed residual value used to calculate total lease investment.
The Group recognizes lease payments from operating lease as income on a straight-line basis.
The accounting policy that the Group has applied as a lessor is not different from IFRS 16.
2) Accounting policy applied until January 1, 2019
The Group classifies a lease as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset to the lessee, and all lease contracts other than finance leases are classified as operating leases.
1) The Group as a lessee
In case of finance leases, the lesser amount of the present value of the minimum lease payments at the commencement date of the lease term or the fair value of the leased asset are recognized as financial lease assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position. Lease payments are allocated as interest expense and repayment of the lease liability so that the same period interest rate is calculated for the balance of the liability. Adjustment to the lease payments are accounted for as expenses during the period.
The operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis if there is no other systematic basis that is more representative of the pattern in which benefit from the use of underlying asset. Adjustment lease payments from the operating leases are accounted for as expenses during the period in which they are incurred.
2) The Group as a lessor
The Group recognizes a finance lease receivable equal to the present value of the minimum lease and thenon-guaranteed residual value, which is the net investment of the finance lease. The accounting for recognizing interest income by reporting period is carried out on a financial lease receivable after the commencement date of the lease term by applying a method in which a certain interest rate of the Group’s net investment in the lease is calculated.
The Group recognizes income from lease payments of operating lease on a straight line basis over the lease term, and the direct costs of the lease incurred during the negotiation and contract phase of the operating lease is added to the carrying value of the lease asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Operating lease assets are included in other assets and are depreciated over their economic useful life.
(16) Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments are classified as forwards, futures, options and swaps, depending on the types of transactions and are classified at the point of transaction as either trading or hedging based on its purpose.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date of contract and are subsequently measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in net income immediately unless the derivative is designated or effective as a hedging instrument. If derivatives have been designated as hedging instruments and if it is effective, the point of recognition of gain or loss depends on the characteristics of hedging relationship.
Derivatives that have positive (+) fair values are recognized as financial assets and those that have negative (-) fair values are recognized as financial liabilities. Derivatives are not offset in the consolidated financial statements unless they have legally enforceable right to set off orand are intended to set off.
1) Embedded derivatives
Embedded derivatives are components of a hybrid financial instrument that includes anon-derivative host contract. It has an effect of modifying part of cash flows of the hybrid financial instrument similar to an independent derivative.
Embedded derivatives that are part of a hybrid contract of which the host contract is a financial asset within the scope of IFRS 9 isare not separated. The classification is done by considering the hybrid contract as a whole, and subsequent measurement is either at amortized cost or fair value.
If embedded derivatives are part of a hybrid contract of which the host contract is not a financial asset within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g. financial liability), then these are treated as separate derivatives if embedded derivatives meet the definition of a derivative, characteristics & risk of the embedded derivatives are not closely related to that of host contract, and if the host contract is not measured at FVTPL.
2) Hedge accounting
The Group is applying IFRS 9 in regard to hedge accounting. The Group is designating certain derivatives as hedging instrument against fair value changes in relation to the interest rate risk, foreign currency translation and interest rate risk, and foreign currency translation risk.
The Group is documenting the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items at the commencement of hedging in accordance with their purpose and strategy. Also, the Group documents at the commencement and subsequent dates whether the hedging instrument effectively counters the changes in fair value of hedged items. A hedging instrument is effective only when it meets all the following criteria:
When there is an economic relationship between the hedged items and hedging instruments.
When the effect of credit risk is not stronger than the change in value due to the economic relationship between the hedged items and hedging instruments.
When the hedge ratio of hedging relationship is equal to the proportion of the number of items that the group actually hedges and the number of hedging instruments that the Group actually uses to hedge the number of hedged items.
When a hedging relationship no longer meets the hedging effectiveness requirements related to hedge ratio, but when the purpose of risk management on designated hedging relationship is still maintained, the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is adjusted so that hedging relationship may meet the requirements again (Hedge ratio readjustment).
The Group has designated derivatives as hedging instrument except for the portion on foreign currency basis spread. The fair value change due to foreign currency basis spread is recognized in other comprehensive income and is accumulated in equity. If the hedged item is related to transactions, the accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged item affects the profit or loss. However, whennon-monetary items are subsequently recognized due to hedged items, the accumulated equity is removed from the equity directly, and is included in the initial book value of the recognizednon-monetary items. Such transfers doesdo not affect other comprehensive income. But if part or all of accumulated equity is not expected to be recovered in the future periods, the amount not expected to be recovered is immediately reclassified to profit or loss. If the hedged item is time-related, then the foreign currency basis spread on the day the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument that is related to the hedged item is reclassified to profit or loss over the term of the hedge.
3) Fair value hedge
Gain or loss arising from valid hedging instrument is recognized in profit or loss. However, when the hedging instrument mitigates risks on equity instruments designated as financial assets at FVTOCI, related gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.
The book value of hedged items that are not measured in fair value is adjusted by the changes in fair value arising from the hedged risk, with resulting gain or loss reflected in net income. In case of debt instruments measured at FVTOCI, book value is an amount that is already adjusted to fair value and thus gain or loss arising from the hedged risk is recognized in profit or loss instead of other comprehensive income without adjustments in book value. When the hedged item is equity instruments measured at FVTOCI, the gain or loss arising from hedged risk is retained at other comprehensive income in order to match the gain or loss with hedging instruments.
When gains or losses arising from the hedged risk are recognized as other non-operating income (expense) in profit or loss of the current term, they are recognized as items related to the hedged items.
Hedge accounting ceases to apply only when hedging relationship (or part of it) does not meet the requirements of hedge accounting (even after hedging relationship readjustment, if applicable). This treatment holds in case of lapse, disposal, expiry and exercise of hedging instruments, and this cease of treatment applies prospectively. The fair value adjustments made to book value of hedged item due to hedged risk is amortized from the date of discontinuance of hedge accounting and is recognized in profit or loss.
4) Cash flow hedge
The Group recognizes the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives and other valid hedging instruments that are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income to the extent of cumulative fair value changes of the hedged item from the starting date of hedge accounting and it is cumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in net income.
Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to net income when the hedged item affects net income. However, whennon-monetary assets or liabilities are subsequently recognized due to expected transactions involving hedged items, the valuation gain or loss accumulated in the equity as other comprehensive income is removed from the equity and included in the initial book value of the recognizednon-monetary assets or liabilities. Such transfers doesdo not affect other comprehensive income. Also, if the cash flow hedge reserve is loss and accumulated other comprehensive income is a loss and part or all of the losses are not expected to be recovered in the future periods, the said amount is immediately reclassified to profit or loss.
Hedge accounting ceases to apply only when hedging relationship (or part of it) does not meet the requirements of hedge accounting (even after hedging relationship readjustment, if applicable). This treatment holds in case of lapse, disposal, expiry and exercise of hedging instruments, and this cease of treatment applies prospectively. At the point of cessation of cash flow hedge, the valuation gain or loss recognized as accumulated other comprehensive income continues to be recognized as equity, and is reclassified to profit or loss when the expected transaction is ultimately recognized as profit or loss. However, when transactions are no longer expected to occur, the valuation gain or loss of hedging instrument recognized as accumulated other comprehensive income is immediately reclassified to profit or loss.
5) Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase 1
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase 1 requires that, for the purpose of determining whether a forecast transaction (or a component thereof) is highly probable, an entity shall assume that the interest rate benchmark on
which the hedged cash flows (contractually or non-contractually specified) are based is not altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform. When applying the prospective assessment, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase 1 further requires that an entity shall assume that the hedged risk or the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged item or the hedging instrument is based is not altered as a result of the reform. Additionally, for a hedge of a non-contractually specified benchmark component of interest rate risk, an entity shall apply the requirement that the risk component shall be separately identifiable only at the inception of the hedging relationship.
(17) Assets (or disposal group) held for sale
The Group classifies anon-current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.Non-current assets (and(or disposal groups)group) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
(18) Provisions
Provisions are recognized if it has present or contractual obligations as a result of the past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation is reliably estimated. A provision is not recognized for the future operating losses.
The Group recognizes provisions related to the payment guarantees, loan commitment and litigations. Under the terms of lease agreement, the cost incurred by the Group to recover the leased asset to its original state are recognized as provisions at the commencement of the lease or during a specific period in which the obligation is incurred as a result of the using the asset. The provisions are measured as the best estimate of the expenditure required to recover the asset, which is regularly reviewed and sated to the new situation.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the probability that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the obligations as a whole. Although the likelihood of outflow for any one item may be small, if it is probable that some outflow of resources will be needed to settle the obligations as a whole, a provision is recognized.
At the end of each reporting period, the remaining provision balance is reviewed an assessed to determine if the current best estimate is being recognized.
(19) Equity instruments issued by the Group
1) Capital and compound financial instruments
The Group classifies a financial instrument that it issues as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. A financial liability is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a
residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The compound financial instruments are financial instruments where it is neither a financial liability nor an equity instrument because it was designed to contain both equity and debt elements.
If the Group reacquires its own equity instruments, the consideration paid including the direct transaction costs (net of tax expense) are presented as a deduction from total equity until such instruments are retired or reissued. When these instruments are reissued, the consideration received (net of direct transaction costs) is included in the shareholder’s equity.
2) Hybrid securities
The Group classifies hybrid securities that have the unconditional right to avoid contractual obligations, such as to deliver cash or other financial assets in relation to financial instruments into equity instruments and
presents as part of equity. Meanwhile, hybrid securities issued by subsidiaries of the group are classified asnon-controlling interests according to the criteria, and the distribution paid is treated as net profit attributable tonon-controlling interests in the consolidated comprehensive income statement.
(20) Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract where the issuer must pay a certain amount of money in order to compensate losses suffered by the creditor when debtor defaults on a debt instrument in accordance with original or modified contractual terms.
A financial guarantee is initially measured at fair value and is subsequently measured at the higher of the amounts below unless it is designated to be measured at FVTPL or when it arises from disposal of an asset.
Loss allowanceAllowance for credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9
Initial book value less accumulated profit measured in accordance with IFRS 15
(21) Employee benefits and pensions
The Group recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by the employees. Also, the Group recognizes expenses and liabilities in the case of accumulating compensated absences when the employees render services that entitle their right to future compensated absences. Similarly, the Group recognizes expenses and liabilities for customary profit distribution or bonuses when the employees render services, even though the Group does not have legal obligation to do so because it can be construed as constructive obligation.
The Group is operating defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to receive the benefits. For defined benefit plans, the defined benefit liability is calculated through an actuarial assessment using the projected unit credit method every end of the reporting period, conducted by a professional actuaries. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding the amount included in net interest from net defined benefit liability (asset)), and the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling is reflected immediately in the separateconsolidated statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.
Remeasurement recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is not reclassified to profit or loss in the subsequent periods. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are composed of service cost (including current service cost and past service cost, as well as gains and losses on settlements), net interest expense (income) and remeasurement.
The Group presents the service cost and net interest expense (income) components in profit or loss, and the remeasurement component in other comprehensive income. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.
The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Group’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is recognized as an asset limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
Liabilities for termination benefits are recognized at the earlier of either the date when the Group is no longer able to cancel its proposal for termination benefits or the date when the Group has recognized the cost of restructuring that accompanies the payment of termination benefits.
(22) Income taxes
Income tax expense is composed of current tax and deferred tax. That is, income tax expense is composed of taxes payable or refundable during the period and deferred taxes calculated by applying asset-liability method to taxable and deductible temporary differences arising from operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Temporary differences are the differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred income tax benefit or expense is recognized for the change in deferred tax assets or liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured as of the reporting date using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or asset is realized. Deferred tax assets, including the carryforwards of unused tax losses, are recognized to the extent it is probable that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset if, and only if, the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority or when the entity intends to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis with different taxable entities.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity or when it arises from business combination.
The tax uncertainty arises from the compensation claim filed by the Group, and refund litigation for the amount of tax levied by the tax authority due to differences in tax law analysis. In response, the Group paid taxes in accordance with IFRIC 23 due to the tax authority’s claim, but recognized as a corporate tax asset if it is highly probable of a refund in the future. In addition, the Group appropriately estimates and reflects the amount of corporate tax liabilities based on the analysis of corporate tax laws and the evaluation of many factors, including past experiences.
(23) Criteria of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is a calculation of net income per each common stock. It is calculated by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the earnings and number of shares for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.
(24) Share-based payment
For cash-settled share-based payment transactions that provide cash in return for the goods or services received, the Group measures the goods or services received, and the corresponding liability at the fair value and recognizes as employee benefit expenses and liabilities during the vesting period. The fair value of the liability is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and the settlement date until the liability is settled, and changes in fair value are recognized as employee benefits.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 has had a significant impact on the global economy including Korea. Financial and economic shocks may have negative impacts on the Group’s financial condition and results of
operations in various forms both domestically and internationally, however, the Korean government is providing unprecedented financial and economic relief measures such as extension of maturity of loan receivables. Despite the announcement of these various forms of government support policies, the negative impact of the COVID-19 on the global economy continues.
Significant changes have been made in future forecast information affecting expected credit losses for the period ended December 31, 2020, and major economic factors are expected to remain negative for a considerable period of time after 2020 due to the influence of COVID-19, and uncertainties in recovery or deterioration will persist.
Considering this situation comprehensively, the Group updated the forward-looking information used to estimate expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments by changing major variables such as GDP to reflect the impact of COVID-19, which has brought a global economic recession. Also, the Group reflected the impact on the borrowers subject to deferred loan principal and interest payments. The measure is in line with the Korean government’s policies under which financial institutions in Korea are encouraged to provide financial support to particular sectors by extending loan terms and deferring interest payments with respect to small- and medium sized enterprises and small merchants affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
<Woori Bank>
As abovementioned, Korean government has adopted policies for Korean banks to provide relief or assistance to customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Bank performs decision making processes, including internal assessments in order to determine borrowers eligible for such financial support.
The Bank determined that the credit risk of loans affected by the loan deferment has significantly increased; and evaluated that the possibility of default is high. As a result, total loans (Loans, payment guarantees) that are subject to loan deferment and interest deferment amount to 1,820,324 million Won, and expected credit loss allowance have increased for 219,231 million Won which consist of increases of corporate loan expected credit loss allowance for 210,173 million Won and retail loan expected credit loss allowance for 9,058 million Won.
Total loans (Loans, payment guarantees) that are subject to loan deferment and interest deferment consist of corporate loan of 1,697,899 million Won and retail loan of 122,425 million Won. Among total loans, loans changed its stage from 12-month to lifetime (Stage 2) expected credit losses amount to 1,650,526 million Won, which consist of corporate loan of 1,548,805 million Won and retail loan of 101,721 million Won. The Group will continue to assess the adequacy of forward-looking information related to the duration of the impact of COVID-19 on economy and government policies.
<Woori Card>
As of December 31, 2020, Woori Card has 9,136 million Won in financial assets at amortized cost related to borrowers eligible for financial support, and the additional provision is 196 million Won.
<Woori Financial Capital and Woori Investment Bank>
Woori Financial Capital and Woori Investment Bank increased their expected credit loss allowance by 18,457 million Won and 8,701 million Won, respectively.
The significant accounting estimates and assumptions are continuously being evaluated based on numerous factors including historical experiences and expectations of future events considered to be reasonably possible. Actual results can differ from those estimates based on such definitions. The accounting estimates and
assumptions that contain significant risk of materially changing current book values of assets and liabilities in the next accounting periods are as follows:
(1) Income taxes
The Group has recognized current and deferred taxes based on best estimates of expected future income tax effect arising from the Group’s operations until the end of the current reporting period. However, actual tax payment may not be identical to the related assets and/or liabilities already recognized, and these differences may affect current taxes and deferred tax assets/liabilities at the time when income tax effects are finalized. Deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward and deductible temporary differences are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the tax losses carried forward and the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. In this case the Group’s evaluation considers various factors such as estimated future taxable profit based on forecasted operating results, which are based on historical financial performance. The Group is reviewing the book value of deferred tax assets every end of the reporting period and in the event that the possibility of earning future taxable income changes, the deferred tax assets are adjusted up to taxable income sufficient to use deductible temporary differences.
(2) Valuation of financial instruments
Financial assets at FVTPL and FVTOCI are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. All derivatives are measured at fair value. Valuation techniques are required in order to determine fair values of financial instruments ifwhere observable market prices do not exist. Financial instruments that are not actively traded and have low price transparency will have less objective fair value and require broad judgment in liquidity, concentration, uncertainty in market factors and assumption in price determination and other risks.
As described in Note2-2. Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies (9)-5), ‘Fair 5) Fair value of financial instruments’,instruments, when valuation techniques are used to determine the fair value of a financial instrument, various general and internally developed techniques are used, and various types of assumptions and variables are incorporated during the process.
(3) Impairment of financial instruments
IFRS 9 requires entities to measure loss allowance for credit losses equal to12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses after classifying financial assets into one of the three stages, which depends on the degree of increase in credit risk after their initial recognition.
Stage 1 | Stage 2 | Stage 3 | ||||
Credit risk has not significantly increased | Credit risk has | Credit | ||||
Allowance for expected credit losses | Expected12-month credit losses: Expected credit losses due to possible defaults on financial instruments within a12-month period from theyear-end. | Expected lifetime credit losses: Expected credit losses from all possible defaults during the expected lifetime of the financial instruments. | ||||
| (*) | Credit risk may be considered not to have been significantly increased when credit risk is low atyear-end. |
Allowance for credit losses is determined by the estimation of the expected cash flows for each borrower for estimating the individually assessed loan-loss allowance, and the assumptions and variables in the model used for estimating the collectively assessed loan-loss allowance, provisions for guarantees and provisions for unused loan commitment.
The Group has estimated the allowance for credit losses based on reasonable and supportable information that was available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
Probability of default (PD) and Loss given default (LGD) for each category of financial asset areis being calculated by considering factors such as debtor type, credit rating and portfolio. The estimates are regularly being reviewed in order to reduce discrepancies with actual losses.
In measuring the expected credit losses, the Group is also using reasonable and supportable macroeconomic indicators such as economic growth rates, interest rates, market index rates, etc., in order to forecast future economic conditions.
The Group is conducting the following procedures to estimate and apply future economic forecast information.
Development of prediction models by analyzing the correlation between default rates of corporate and retail exposures per year and macroeconomic indicators
Major macroeconomic indicators | Correlation between credit risk and macroeconomic | |
| GDP growth rate | Negative(-) Correlation | |
| Home price index | Negative(-) Correlation | |
| Consumer price index | Negative(-) Correlation |
Calculation of predicted default rate incorporating future economic forecasts by applying estimated macroeconomic indicators provided by verified institutions such as Bank of Korea and National Assembly Budget Office to the prediction model developed.developed
The results of Woori Bank’s sensitivity analysis on expected credit loss allowance due to changes in macroeconomic indicators as of December 31, 2020 are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):
| December 31, 2020 | ||||||||
Corporate | GDP growth rate | Increase by 1% point | (86,086 | ) | ||||
| Decrease by 1% point | 96,177 | |||||||
Retail | Consumer Price Index | Increase by 1% point | (15,807 | ) | ||||
| Decrease by 1% point | 17,119 | |||||||
The Economic outlook of each major macroeconomic indicator for the year 2021 is as follows:
Major macroeconomic indicators | Basic Scenario | Upside Scenario | Downside Scenario | |||||||||
GDP growth rate | 3.00 | % | 3.19 | % | 2.66 | % | ||||||
Consumer Price Index | 1.00 | % | 1.07 | % | 0.88 | % | ||||||
Home Price Index | 100.98 | 101.09 | 100.78 | |||||||||
Woori Bank’s probability weights for multiple economic scenario are as follows:
Basic Scenario | Upside Scenario | Downside Scenario | ||||||
47.46% | 14.33 | % | 38.21 | % | ||||
Assuming the probability weight for upside and downside scenario is 100% and all others remain the same, the Bank considered multiple economic scenario in applying the future economic forecast information to measure expected credit losses. The sensitivity analysis results on the Bank’s expected credit losses is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):
Scenario | Difference from carrying amount | |||
Upside | (31,141 | ) | ||
Downside | 30,642 | |||
At the end of every reporting period, the Group evaluates whether credit risk reflecting forward-looking information has significantly been increased since the date of initial recognition. When evaluating whether credit risk has significantly been increased, the changes in the probability of default over the financial instrument’s remaining life is used instead of changes in the amount of expected credit losses.
The GroupBank performs the above evaluation with distinctions made to corporate and retail exposures, and indicators of significant increase in credit risk are as follows:
Corporate Exposures | Retail Exposures | |
| Asset quality level ‘Precautionary’ or lower | Asset quality level ‘Precautionary’ or lower | |
| More than 30 days past due | More than 30 days past due | |
| ‘Warning’ level in early warning system | Significant decrease in credit rating(*) | |
| Debtor experiencing financial difficulties (Capital impairment, Adverse opinion or Disclaimer of opinion by external auditors) | Deferment of repayment of principal and interest | |
| Significant decrease in credit rating(*) | Deferment of interest | |
| Deferment of repayment of principal and interest | ||
| Deferment of interest |
| (*) | Determining whether there has been a significant decrease in the credit rating of corporate and retail exposures applies only to credit ratings that are measured through12-month expected credit loss. The Woori Bank, which is an important subsidiary of the Group, has applied the above indicators of significant decrease in credit rating since initial recognition as follows, and the estimation method is regularly being monitored. |
Credit rating | Significant increased indicator of the | |||
| Corporate | AAA ~ A+ | More than or equal to 4 steps | ||
| A- ~ BBB | More than or equal to 3 steps | |||
| BBB- ~ BB+ | More than or equal to 2 steps | |||
| BB ~ BB- | More than or equal to 1 step | |||
| Retail | 1 ~ 3 | More than or equal to 3 steps | ||
| 4 ~ 5 | More than or equal to 2 steps | |||
| 6 ~ 10 | More than or equal to 1 step |
The Group sees no significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition for debt securities, etc. with a credit rating of A + or higher, which are deemed to have low credit risk at the end of the reporting period.period
The Group concludes that credit is impaired when financial assets are under conditions stated below:
When principal of loan is overdue for 90 days or longer due to significant deterioration in credit
For loans overdue for less than 90 days, when it is determined that not even a portion of the loan will be recovered unless claim actions such as disposal of collaterals are taken
When other objective indicators of impairment hashave been noted for the financial asset.
The Group determines which loan is subject towrite-off in accordance with internal guidelines and writes off loan receivables when it is determined that the loans are practically irrecoverable. For example, loans are practically irrecoverable when application is made for rehabilitation under the Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Act and loans are confirmed as irrecoverable by the court’s decision to waive debtor’s obligation, or when it is impossible to recover the loan amount through legal means such as auctioning of debtor’s assets or through any other means of recovery available. Notwithstanding thewrite-off, the Group may still exercise its right of collection after the asset has been written off in accordance with its collection policies.
(4) Defined benefit plan
The Group operates a defined benefit pension plan. Defined benefit obligation is calculated at every end of the reporting period by performing actuarial valuation, and estimation of assumptions such as discount rate, expected wage growth rate and mortality rate is required to perform such actuarial valuation. The defined benefit plan, due to its long-term nature, contains significant uncertainties in its estimates.
4. RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s operating activity is exposed to various financial risks.risks and the and the main types of risks are credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and etc. The Group is required torisk management department analyze and assess the level of complex risks and determinein order to manage the permissible level of risks and manage such risks. The Group’sthe risk management proceduresstandards such as policies, regulations, management systems and decision-making have been established to improve the quality of assetsand operated for holding or investment purposes by making decisions as how to avoid or mitigate risks through the identificationsound management of the source of the potential risks and their impact.Group.
The Group has established an approach to manage the acceptable level of risks and reduce the excessive risks in financial instruments in order to maximize the profit given risks present, for which the Group has implemented processes for risk identification, assessment, control, and monitoring and reporting.
The risk management organization is managedoperated by risk management committee, risk management responsible, and risk management department. The Board of Directors operates a risk management committee comprised of outside directors for professional risk management. The risk management committee plays a role as the top decision-making body in risk management by establishing basic policies for risk management that are in line with the Group’s management strategy and determining the risk level that the Group is willing to take. The risk management office (CRO) assists the risk management department in accordance with the Group’scommittee and operates a group risk management policy. The Risk Management Committee makes decisions oncouncil comprised of risk management managers of subsidiaries to periodically check and improve the risk strategies such asburden of external environments and the allocationGroup. The risk management department is independent and is in charge of risk capitalmanagement of the Group. It also supports reporting and the establishmentdecision-making of acceptable level of risk.key risk-related issues.
(1) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the possibility of financial losses incurred due to the refusal of the transaction or when the counterparty fails to fulfill its contractual obligations. The goal of credit risk management is to maintain the Group’s credit risk exposure to a permissible degree and to optimize its rate of return considering such credit risk.
1) Credit risk management
The Group considers the probability of failure in performing the obligation of its counterparties, credit exposure to the counterparty, the related default risk and the rate of default loss. The Group uses the credit rating model to assess the possibility of counterparty’s default risk; and when assessing the obligor’s credit grade, other than quantitative methods utilizing financial statements and others, and assessor’s judgement, the Group utilizes credit grades derived fromusing statistical methods.
In order to manage credit risk limit, the Group establishes the appropriate credit line per obligor, company or industry. It monitors obligor’s credit line, total exposures and loan portfolios when approving the loan.
The Group mitigates credit risk resulting from the obligor’s credit condition by using financial and physical collateral, guarantees, netting agreements and credit derivatives. The Group has adopted the entrapment method to mitigate its credit risk. Credit risk mitigation is reflected in qualifying financial collateral, trade receivables, guarantees, residential and commercial real estate and other collaterals. The Group regularly performs a revaluation of collateral reflecting such credit risk mitigation.
2) Maximum exposure to credit risk
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk shows the uncertainties related to the maximum possible variation of financial assets’ net value as a result of changes in the specific risk factors, prior to the consideration of collaterals that are recorded at net book value after allowances and other credit enhancements. However, the
maximum exposure is the fair value amount (recorded on the books) for derivatives, maximum contractual obligation for payment guarantees and unused amount of commitments for loan commitment.
The maximum exposure to credit risk as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

Woori Bank, a subsidiary of the Group, uses the internal model approved by the Financial Supervisory Service to measure the VaR using the Historical Simulation Method based on a 99% confidence level and a10-day retention period, and calculates the required capital risk for calculating the BIS ratio. For internal management purposes, limit management is performed on a daily basis measuring VaR based on a 99% confidence and 1 day retention period. In addition, Woori Bank perform a daily verification that compares VaR measurement and profit and loss to verify the suitability of the model.
The minimum, maximum and average VaR of the GroupBank for the year ended December 31, 20182019 and 2019, respectively,2020, and the VaR of the GroupBank as of December 31, 20182019 and 2019, respectively,2020 are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

b)Non-trading activities
ForThe Bank manages and measures interest risk for non-trading sectors of the Bank, consolidated trusts and subsidiaries of the Bank, the risk is managed and measured byactivities through DNII (changeNII(Change in Net Interest Income) andDEVE (changeEVE(Change in Economic Value of Equity) through NII (Net Interest Income) and NPV (Net Present Value) simulation, and for the remaining subsidiaries, the risk is managed and measured with interest rate EaR(Earning at Risk, maximum of the expected change for profit or loss) and interest rate VaR that are in accordance with BIS Framework.IRRBB(Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book) introduced at the end of 2019.
NII is primarily an indicator of changes in profit from short-term changes in interest rates and is measured by deducting the interest expenses on the liability from the interest income from the asset. NPV is primarily an indicator of the risk of an economic value perspective resulting from unfavorable changes in interest rates and is measured by subtracting the present value of the liability from the present value of the asset.DNII represents a change in net interest income that may occur over a certain period (e.g., 1 one year) due to unfavorable changes in net interest rates,income, andDEVE indicates the economic value changes in equity capital that could be caused by changes in interest rates affecting the present value of asset, liabilities, and others.
Subsidiaries other than the Bank measure and manage interest rate risk with interest rates EaR(Earnings at Risk) and VaR(Value at Risk). The interest rate EaR represents the maximum amountexpected change in profit or loss that could occur over a period of decreasetime (e.g. one year) due to unfavorable interest rate changes, which shows the maximum reduction scale in net interest income that could result from unfavorable changes in interest rate over a certain period (e.g., 1 year), and theinterest. The interest rate VaR represents the maximum expected loss that indicates how much net asset value can decrease at present or in the future due to unfavorable changes in interest rates.rates can reduce the value of the net asset at any given point in time, now or in the future.
The NII and NPV are calculated for the assets and liabilities owned by the Bank and consolidated trusts, respectively, by using the simulation method. The scenario responding to interest rate (“IR”) changes as of December 31, 2018 are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

(4)(3) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations from its financial liabilities.
1) Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk management is to prevent potential cash shortages as a result of mismatching the use of funds (assets) and sources of funds (liabilities) or unexpected cash outflows. The financial liabilities that are relevant to liquidity risk are incorporated within the scope of risk management. Derivatives instruments are excluded from those financial liabilities as they reflect expected cash flows for apre-determined period.
Assets and liabilities are grouped by account under Asset Liability Management (“ALM”) in accordance with the characteristics of the account. The Group manages liquidity risk by identifying the maturity gap and such gap ratio through various cash flows analysis (i.e. based on remaining maturity and contract period, etc.), while maintaining the gap ratio at or below the target limit.
2) Maturity analysis ofnon-derivative financial liabilities
| a) | Cash flows of principals and interests by remaining contractual maturities ofnon-derivative financial liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions): |

| 11. | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES |
| (1) | The fair value hierarchy |
The fair value hierarchy for financial instruments is determined by the levelsamount of judgment involved in estimating fair values of financial assets and liabilities.observable market data. The specific financial instruments characteristics and market condition such as volumethe existence of the transactions among market participants and transparency are reflected to the market observable inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Group maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities. Fair value is measured based on the perspective of a
market participant. As such, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Group’s own assumptions reflect those that market participants would use for measuring the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
The fair value measurement is described in the one of the following three levels used to classify fair value measurements:
Level 1—fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 1 are publicly traded equity securities, derivatives, and debt securities issued by governmental bodies.
Level 2—fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 2 are debt securities not traded in active markets and derivatives traded in OTC but not required significant judgment.
Level 3—fair value measurements are those derived from valuation technique that include inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 3 arenon-public securities and derivatives and debt securities of which valuation techniques require significant judgments and subjectivity.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Group’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of inherent factors of the asset or liability.

| (*) | There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The Group recognizes transfers among levels at the end of reporting period in which events have occurred or conditions have changed. |
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,FVTPL, financial liabilities at FVTPL designated as upon initial recognition, financial assets at FVTOCI, and derivative assets (Designated for hedging) and liabilities (Designated for hedging) are recognized at fair value. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Financial instruments are measured at fair value using a quoted market price in active markets. If there is no active market for a financial instrument, the Group determines the fair value using valuation methods. Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instruments are as follows:
1) Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instrument classified into level 2 in December 31, 20182019 and 20192020 are as follows:
Valuation methods | Input variables | |||
| Debt securities | Fair value is measured by discounting the future cash flows of debt securities applying the risk-free market | Risk-free market rate | ||
| Beneficiary certificates | The beneficiary certificates classified as Level 2 are MMF and are measured at | |||
| Derivatives | ||||
| Loans | The future cash flows of debt instruments are measured at a discount by applying the market interest rate applied to entities with similar creditworthiness to the debtor. | Risk-free market rate and | ||

| (*1) | For financial liabilities, positive numbers represent losses that increase balance and negative numbers represent gains that decrease balance. The statements of comprehensive income includes gain of 37,430 million Won included in net gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTPL and net gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI pertaining to the assets and liabilities held by the Group at the end of the period. |

(4) Sensitivity analysis results on reasonable fluctuation of the significant unobservable inputs usedinput variables for measuringthe fair value of Level 3 financial instruments are as follows.
The sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments has been performed by classifying with favorable and unfavorable changes based on how changes in unobservable assumptions would have effects on the fluctuations of financial instruments’ value. When the fair value of a financial instrument is affected by more than one unobservable assumption, the below table reflects the most favorable or the most unfavorable changes which resulted from varying the assumptions individually. The sensitivity analysis was performed for two types of level 3 financial instruments: (1) interest rate related derivatives, currency related derivatives, equity related derivatives, equity-linked securities, beneficiary certificates and loans of which fair value changes are recognized as net income; (2) equity securities of which fair value changes are recognized as other comprehensive income.
AmongMeanwhile, among the financial instruments that are classified as Level 3 amounting to 2,566,7153,156,741 million Won and 3,156,7414,150,878 million Won as of December 31, 20182019 and 20192020 respectively, equity instruments of 1,641,8752,194,320 million Won and 2,194,3203,052,432 million Won thatwhose carrying amount are considered to providerepresent the best estimatereasonable approximation of fair value are excluded from the sensitivity analysis.
The following table presents the sensitivity analysis to disclose the effecton fluctuation of reasonably possible volatility on the fair value of a Level 3input variables by financial instruments as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

2) Securities loaned
When the Group loans its securities to outside parties, the legal ownerships of the securities are transferred; however, they should be returned at the end of lending period.

The Group does not have continuing involvement in transferred financial assets.
(2) The offset of financial assets and liabilities
The Group possesses both the uncollected domestic exchange receivables and the unpaid domestic exchange payable, which satisfy offsetting criteria of IAS 32. Therefore, the total number of uncollected domestic exchange receivables or unpaid domestic exchange payable has been offset with part of unpaid domestic exchange payablepayables or uncollected domestic exchange receivables and has been disclosed in loans at amortized cost and other financial assets and other financial liabilities of the Group’s statements of financial position respectively.
The Group possesses the derivative assets, derivative liabilities, receivable spot exchange and payable spot exchange that do not satisfy the offsetting criteria of IAS 32, but provide the Group under the circumstances of the trading party’s defaults, insolvency or bankruptcy, with the right of offsetting. Items such as cash collateral cannot satisfy the offsetting criteria of IAS 32, but in accordance with the collateral arrangements and under the circumstances of the trading party’s default, insolvency or bankruptcy, the net amount of derivative assets and derivative liabilities, receivable spot exchange and payable spot exchange can be offset.
The Group has entered into a resale and repurchase agreement and accounted it as a collateralized borrowing. The Group has also entered into a resale and purchase agreement and accounted it as a secured loans. The Group under the repurchase agreements has an offsetting right only upon the counterparty’s default, insolvency or bankruptcy; thus, the repurchase agreements are applied by the TBMA/ISMA Global Master Repurchase Agreement, which does not satisfy the offsetting criteria of IAS 32. The Group disclosed bonds sold under repurchase agreements as borrowings and bonds purchased under resale agreements as loan at amortized cost and other financial assets.

| 2) | Impairment test |
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is measured at larger amount among the fair value less costs to sell or the value to use.
The net fair value is calculated by deducting costs of disposal from the amount received from the sale of the cash-generating unit in an arm’s length transaction between the parties with reasonable judgment and willingness to negotiate. In case of difficulty in measuring this amount, the sale amount of a similar cash-generating unit in the past market is calculated by reflecting the characteristics of the cash-generating unit. If reliable information related to fair value less costs to sell is not available, value in use is considered as recoverable amount. Value in use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated by the cash-generating unit. Future cash
flows are estimated based on the latest financial budget approved by the management, with an estimated period of up to five years. The Group estimates cash flows based on an annualapplied 0.0%—1.0% growth rate of up to 4.0% in relation toestimate future cash flows afterflow for the longest period.period over five years. The main assumptions used to estimate cash flows are about the size of the market and the share of the group. The appropriate discount rate for discounting future cash flows is thepre-tax discount rate, including assumptions about risk-free interest rates, market risk premium, and systemic risk of cash-generating units. The impairment test, which compares the carrying amount and recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated, is conducted every year and every time an impairment sign occurs.

The amount of the asset retirement obligation is the present value of the best estimate of future expected expenditure to settle the obligation – obligation—arising from leased premises as of December 31, 2019,2020, discounted by appropriate discount rate. The restoration cost is expected to occur by the end of each premise’s lease period, and the Group has used average lease period of each category of leases terminated during the past years in order to rationally estimate the lease period. In addition, the Group used average amount of actual recovery cost for the past 3 years and the inflation rate for last year in order to estimate future recovery cost.

24. NET DEFINED BENEFIT LIABILITY(ASSET)
The characteristics of the Group’s defined benefit retirement pension plans are as follows:
Employees and directors with one or more years of service are entitled to receive a payment upon termination of their employment, based on their length of service and rate of salary at the time of termination. The assets of the plans are measured at their fair value at the end of reporting date. The plan liabilities are measured using the projected unit method, which takes account of projected earnings increases, using actuarial assumptions that give the best estimate of the future cash flows that will arise under the plan liabilities.
The Group is exposed to various risks through defined benefit retirement pension plan, and the most significant risks are as follows:
| Volatility of asset | The defined benefit obligation was estimated with an interest rate calculated based on blue chip corporate bonds earnings. A deficit may occur if the rate of return of plan assets falls short of the interest rate. | |
Decrease in profitability of blue chip bonds | A decrease in profitability of blue chip bonds will be offset by some increase in the value of debt securities that the employee benefit plan owns but will bring an increase in the defined benefit obligation. | |
| Risk of inflation | Defined benefit obligations are related to inflation rate; the higher the inflation rate is, the higher the level of liabilities. Therefore, deficit occurs in the system if an inflation rate increases. | |

Derivatives held for trading are classified into financial assets at FVTPL (Note 7) and financial liabilities at FVTPL (Note 20), and derivatives designated for hedging are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of financial position.
| (2) | Overview of the Group’s hedge accounting |
The hedging relationships the entity applies fair value hedge accounting and cash flow hedge accounting to are affected by interest rate which is related with Interest Rate Benchmark Reform. The interest rates to which the hedging relationships are exposed are USD 1M LIBOR, USD 3M LIBOR, USD 6M LIBOR and AUD 3M EURIBOR.BBSW. The nominal amounts of hedging instruments related to 1M LIBOR, 3M LIBOR, 6M LIBOR and 3M EURIBORBBSW in the hedging relationships of the Group are USD 400,000,000, USD 2,230,000,000,1,800,000,000, USD 500,000,000 and EUR 26,635,556,AUD 150,000,000, respectively. The entity pays close attention to discussions in the market and industry regarding the applicable alternative benchmark interest rates for the exposed interest rate. The entity judges related uncertainty is expected to be no longer present when the exposed interest rates are replaced by the applicable benchmark interest rates.
1) Fair value hedge
As of the current period end,December 31, 2020, the Group has applied fair value hedge on fixed interest rate foreign currency denominated debentures amounting to 3,151,1722,767,208 million Won. The purpose of the hedging is to avoid fair value volatility risk of fixed interest rate foreign currency denominated debentures derived from fluctuations of market interest rate, and as such the Group entered into interest rate swap agreements designated as hedging instruments.
Pursuant to the interest rate swap agreement, by swapping the calculated difference between the fixed interest rate and floating interest rate applied to the nominal value, the fair value fluctuation risk is hedged as the foreign currency denominated debentures fixed interest rate terms are converted to floating interest rate. Pursuant to the interest rate swap agreement, hedge ratio is determined by matching the nominal value of hedgedhedging instrument to the face value of the hedged item.
In this hedging relationship, only the market interest rate fluctuation, which is the most significant part of the fair value change of the hedged item, is designated as the hedged risk, and other risk factors including credit risk are not included in the hedged risk. Therefore, the ineffective portion of the hedge could arise from fluctuations in the timing of the cash flow of the hedged item, theprice margin set by counterparty of hedging instrument, and unilateral change in the total amount and price of the hedged item, or significant credit risk fluctuation of eitherany party of the hedging instrument.
The interest rate swap agreements and the hedged items are subject to fluctuations in the underlying market rate of interest and the Group expects the fair value of the interest rate swap contract and the value of the hedged item to generally change in the opposite direction.
The fair value of the interest rate swap at the end of the reporting period is determined by discounting future cash flows estimated by using the yield curve at the end of the reporting period and the credit risk embedded in the contract and the average interest rate is determined based on the outstanding balance at the end of the reporting period. The variable interest rate applied to the interest rate swap is USD Libor 3M (6M) plus spread and AUD BBSW 3M plus spread. In accordance with the terms of each interest rate swap contract designated as a hedging instrument, the Group receives interest at a fixed interest rate and pays interest at a variable interest rate.
2) Cash Flow Hedge
As of the December 31, 2019,2020, the Group has applied cash flow hedge on local currency denominated debentures amounting to 99,941149,936 million Won, debentures on foreign currency amounting to 729,141707,595 million Won and Borrowings in foreign currency amounting to 34,443million Won. The Group’s hedging strategies are to 1)① Mitigate risks of cash flow fluctuation from variable interest rate debentures on local currency due to changes in market interest rate by entering into an interest rate swap contract
and thereby designating it as hedging instrument; 2)② Mitigate the risks of cash flow fluctuation from principal and interest of variable-interestvariable interest rate debentures denominated in foreign currency due to changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates by entering into a currency swap contract and thereby designating it as hedging instrument; 3)③ Mitigate the risks of cash flow fluctuation from principal and interest of fixed-interestfixed interest rate debentures denominated in foreign currency due to changes in foreign exchange rates by entering into a currency swap contract and thereby designating it as hedging instrument and 4)④ Mitigate the risks of cash flow fluctuation in variable-interestvariable interest rate foreign currency borrowings resulting from changes in market interest rates and designate it as a hedging instrument through entering into currency swap contracts and interest rate swap contracts.
This means exchanging a predetermined nominal amount as set forth in the interest rate swap contract adjusted by the differences between the fixed and variable interest rates, which results in the conversion of interest rates of debentures in local currency and borrowings in foreign currency from variable interest into fixed interest, eliminating the cash flow fluctuation risk.
In addition, this also means a payment of predetermined principal amount as set forth in the currency swap adjusted by fixed interest rate, an exchange of an amount calculated by applying variable interest rate to USD or applying fixed interest rate to SGD, and an exchange of the principal denominated in KRW and principal denominated in foreign currency at maturity eliminating cash flow fluctuation risk on principal and interest.
The hedge ratio is determined by matching the nominal amount of the hedging instrument to the face amount of the hedged item in accordance with interest rate swap and currency swap.
Only interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuation risk, which is the most significant factor in the cash flow fluctuation of the hedged item, is addressed in this hedging relationship, and other risk factors such as credit risk are not subject to hedging.
Thus, there could be hedge ineffectiveness arising from price margin set by the counterparty of hedging instruments and unilateral change in credit risk of any party in the transaction.
The interest rate swap, currency swap contract and the hedged item are all affected by the changes in market interest rate and foreign exchange rates which are basic factors of the derivative. The Group expects that the value of interest rate swap contract, currency swap contract and value of the hedged item will generally fluctuate in opposite direction.

Consolidated financial statements in the comparative period are consolidated financial statements of Woori Bank and its subsidiaries (before the scheduled sale classification of five subsidiaries excluding Woori Bank) and consolidated financial statements in the first (current) period are consolidated financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries, including Woori Bank.
