On the 6th, DGB Financial Group is showing weakness.
As of 10:05 AM on the same day, DGB Financial Group is trading at 7,360 KRW, down 0.81% from the previous trading day. Shortly after the market opened, the stock price rose to 7,650 KRW but soon turned downward.
DGB Financial Group owns 100% of Daegu Bank's shares.
The day before, financial authorities announced plans to convert DGB Daegu Bank into a commercial bank. This is part of the government's policy to break the oligopoly in the banking sector by converting regional banks into commercial banks. The establishment of a new commercial bank is the first in over 30 years since Peace Bank in 1992.
