Unlike other financial companies, the financial group¡¯s net profit rises to 2,035.3 billion won if 428.1 billion won was considered to be used as agricultural support for farming areas under the Agricultural Cooperative Act.

Its net interest margin (NIM) stood at 1.65 percent, down 0.7 percentage points from the previous year, but its interest profit rose by 2 percent (156.4 billion won) year-on-year due to an increase in loans and low-cost deposits.


Commission profit rose 39.7 percent year-on-year to 1,626.5 billion won on the back of the expansion of non-face-to-face transactions and a net increase in fees for brokering the trust of stocks.
