The group's core earnings, which combine interest income (3.254 trillion KRW) and fee income (1.2613 trillion KRW) for the first half, amounted to 4.5153 trillion KRW. The group's net interest margin (NIM) stands at 1.67%.


In the banking sector, Hana Bank recorded a cumulative consolidated net income of 1.253 trillion KRW for the first half, including 677.5 billion KRW in the second quarter of 2021.
