    Jung Jun-Sup's questions to SHINHAN FINANCIAL GROUP CO (SHG) leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Jung Jun-Sup from NH Investment & Securities asked if the current large-scale quarterly share buybacks would continue and what the group's priority was between share count reduction and PBR targets. He also requested an outlook on credit provisioning.

    Answer

    An executive clarified that accelerating share cancellation to meet the 2027 target is the top priority, especially while the PBR is below 1x. The pace of buybacks will depend on annual P&L and CET1 ratio. Regarding provisioning, the year-end credit cost ratio (CCR) is expected to be around 45 basis points, with no significant asset quality improvement expected in the short term, though sufficient provisions have been set aside.
