Reflecting on the past year, Chairman Lee said, "All businesses have strived with the goal of 'digital-based customer-centric top-tier capability internalization,' working from a zero base from the customer's perspective and leading the industry with differentiated services." As a result, he evaluated that they achieved the establishment of a super platform.

Regarding this year's outlook, he said, "Geopolitical instability has newly intensified due to war, and the economic and financial outlook remains uncertain due to high interest rates, economic slowdown, and potential risks originating from real estate." He emphasized the importance of 'risk management,' the foundation of the financial industry's existence, by establishing principles and basics.

Chairman Lee also announced plans to prepare for the future through AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance). He added, "We aim to build a solid foundation to evolve from an everyday financial company to a life finance company."

Finally, he stated, "NongHyup Financial will become a financial company that accompanies customers through every moment of their long life journey by seamlessly providing all necessary services in customers' lives, whether online or offline."
