Jung Kwang Myung's questions to Woori Financial Group Inc (WF) leadership • Q1 2024
Question
Jung Kwang Myung from DB Financial Investment asked for a breakdown of the factors that led to the flat quarter-on-quarter CET1 ratio and inquired about the group's year-end target for this capital metric.
Answer
CFO Lee Sung-Wook detailed the CET1 ratio movement: a 40 bps increase from net income was offset by a 10 bps decrease from shareholder returns, a 20 bps decrease from FX impact, and a 10 bps decrease from RWA growth, resulting in a stable 12.0%. He stated that without the adverse FX impact, the ratio would have been 12.2%. The group targets a CET1 ratio 'well above 12%' by year-end.
