Gun. Lee Investment, DB Mr. from question Next Byung

Lee Byung Gun

Gun to two Lee like Securities. Investment questions. I Byung I’m and would from Yes, DB ask

be could First, there NIM, regarding perspectives. differing

on decelerating. time trends, growth Some up at basically, pricing the forward in are policy rate. may we say early the that are looking is compared it deposit And deposit to going But recent seeing speed and rates, rates core will uptrend.

a of you already what are at what’s and perspective, the come expectation be rate And is issue, simple industry about if And thoughts is have hike? KBFG’s your With in not at how second to So IFRS of just question what this? in that you priced provide big XX, and policy much on remains? industry. a RBC a it’s but together CEOs ratio, question. this falling, that talk understand may the I insurance look can issue

for X, considered like Tier to sub because an Tier how I So issue And debt your one XX X capital in RBC at IFRS But come that? were seeing in are be once rate impact of for the hike, of subsidiaries, would insurance using countering be position? your to kicks and are may through understand, approaches. the surge But not guess I that you you all. in, what

Peter Kweon

moment Just question. to give to one us respond your

Han Jung-Ho

I’m bank. Han of CFO the Jung-Ho,

per consecutive asked X You point rise expecting hiked. NIM. a were NIM. the about annum X Early been question to bank’s basis rates But X year, quarters, we about have the this policy

-- adjusted our see now basis points. we projection So we’ve at XX

mentioned, you’ve hike policy as So has rate priced in. already been the

NIM may The overall going the but bank cycle is in uptrend the So the rise interest. decelerate, to repricing for continue. the

in peers. For rate variable to higher portion. that our have is smaller case, portion other they But compared banks,

peers repricing cycle little extended. our So more is compared to a

upward speed an trajectory. NIM expect will on continue may just that slow. the So It’s we

Unidentified Company Representative

add on color Also more little that on a NIM. to question

now the that I has as of factors is of believe today very that than many you top in we know already that well rate As my The just I mean, there are and is has actually priced our steepened mentioned, there’s XX that CFO But impact showing in. understand policy trend. NIM. more from mind, bank curve factors. flattening yield the

curve yield those so being reflected. And are trends

that I believe can in the NIM improvement down. So QX, slow

However, on going those shareholders’ impacts of all the, absolute strong And equity. not deposit, has loss a is reserve just the that very X common rate companies, in but or level, capital guess, base, NIM. loan is the interest it have core an as I up. financial holding and improving Tier ratio also also we industry. equity behind NPL you in best the key best industry sources KBFG, the know, are the the those It

the basis, XXXX, we can the So entire to continue our NIM tell volatility. some show show that we quarterly believe an upward can all we are on there gain at But our On you impacts that a trajectory. positive year growth NIM. NIM looking will may

Unidentified Company Representative

impact IFRS on from XX, RBC ratio. aside the interest having Lee, asked you hike Mr. rate

that As year, you biggest facing. going are all issue resolved. rise next is be of this KICs are interest With insurers implementation the the to aspects know, rate related

against strengthen our including of other other opportunities for that.
