FSS Launches Online Search & Retrieval Tool for Legal and Regulatory Statutes Governing Financial Supervision

The Financial Supervisory Service opened a new online search retrieval system for legal and regulatory statutes governing financial supervision along with their interpretations and applications on January 9. The new tool, a Korean-based website database that can be launched from the FSS Internet homepage, holds more than 1,900 separate entries (over 30,000 pages) on legal and regulatory statutes pertaining to financial supervision as well as their administrative and judicial interpretations and applications and explanation of FSS administrative procedures and financial supervision. The database for the new search retrieval system is set to be updated each month and is expected to increase by approximately one thousand new entries a year henceforth.BackgroundBecause of the generally complex nature of legal and regulatory statutes governing financial products and services, there has been a growing awareness of the need to make financial laws and regulations more accessible to the general public. The new online tool was prompted by this need to help the general public search and access financial laws and regulations more easily and at the same time improve regulatory transparency.The plan for the new system took shape in August, 2006, when the FSS proposed an open search retrieve system after thorough review and study of similar systems in use elsewhere. The system was completed in late 2006 and went online January 9 after a series of operational tests.A Centralized Database of Legal and Regulatory Statutes Governing Financial SupervisionThe new search retrieve system is designed to function as a centralized database of all the legal and regulatory statutes, guidelines, interpretations, and explanations governing financial supervision. In particular, the new online tool employs a system of codification to classify and group interpretations and explanations of legal and regulatory precedents by year, financial sector, business operation, and laws regulations.Use of the

Bank BIS Capital Ratios, September 2006

Bank BIS capital ratios averaged 13.10% at the end of September, compared with 13.06% at end-June and 13.00% at end-2005. Bank capital rose KRW14.6 trillion (14.2%) on net income totaling KRW11.5 trillion for the first nine months of the year, while risk-weighted assets increased KRW105.5 trillion (13.3%) during the same period. Tier-1 capital rose 16.5% (KRW12.2 trillion) compared with an 8.3% increase (KRW2.4 trillion) for tier-2 capital.The capital ratio rose for seven banks but fell for the 11 others compared to end-2005. For some of the banks with a lower capital ratio than at end-2005, increases in capital did not keep pace with increases in risk-weighted assets. But all the 18 banks reported capital ratios in excess of 10% and expect to maintain strong capital positions going forward with solid net income.* Please refer to the attached PDF for details.

Assessment of Private Equity Industry, November 2006

The Financial Supervisory Service issued an assessment of Korea’s private equity industry on November 22, 2006, to mark the second year of regulatory changes that allowed the formation of private equity funds (PEFs) as a recognized investment entity for the first time in December, 2004.Registered PEFsThere were 20 registered PEFs as of end-October with a total investor subscribed (committed) amount of KRW4.66 trillion, of which KRW1.99 trillion were actually called. Since the beginning of 2006, six PEFs were newly registered and one was terminated for a net increase of five. The subscribed amount increased KRW1.76 trillion and the called amount KRW760.6 billion in 2006. At the end of 2005, there were 15 registered PEFs with KRW2.9 trillion in total subscribed amount and KRW338.8 billion in total called amount.Fund RaisingThere were seven large funds (more than KRW300 billion), six medium-sized funds (between KRW100 billion and KRW300 billion), and seven small funds (less than KRW100 billion) as of end-October. Three of the large funds exceeded KRW500 billion in total subscribed amount. Most of the small funds were so-called “deal-by-deal” PEFs that specialize in a specifically targeted company.Management fees typically ranged between 1.5% and 2% of the subscribed investment amount when PEFs were first introduced. But with a majority of institutional investors preferring financial, rather than strategic, investment whose returns do not depend too much on the fund management skills of the general partners (managers) of PEFs, management fees fell to a lower range between 0.1% and 2% of the investment executed.InvestmentsEleven PEFs had executed investments totaling KRW999.0 billion in 27 companies, including a KRW343.9 billion takeover of a privately held company in June, 2006, the largest PEF investment to date. Since the beginning of the year, the number of companies in which PEFs invested jumped from 9 to 27 with the total executed amount sharply up from KRW26

Bank Loans Classified as Substandard or Below: September 2006

Bank loans classified as substandard or below (SBLs)–substandard, doubtful, or presumed loss–totaled KRW8.8 trillion at the end of September, unchanged from end-June. But the ratio of SBLs to total outstanding loans fell to 0.98%, the lowest ratio since the forward-looking criteria were first adopted in 1999. The SBL ratio averaged 1.02% at end-June and 1.22% at end-2005. A surge in new loans, which pushed the total outstanding loans to KRW895.2 from KRW861.3 trillion, was mostly responsible for the drop in SBL ratio.Overall, the SLB ratios fell modestly for the key borrower groups from end-June, averaging 1.06% for corporate loans and 0.81% for household loans. The ratio for credit card receivables increased slightly from 1.80% at end-June to 1.84%. But compared to end-2005, the SBL ratios fell for all the loan types.* Please refer to the attached PDF for details.

Preliminary Bank Net Income: January-September 2006

Preliminary figures show domestic banks’ net income for the first nine months of 2006 will come to KRW11.1 trillion, compared with KRW10.5 trillion for the same period a year earlier. A drop in provisioning for loan losses and disposition of stocks from past debt-equity swaps mostly contributed to the increase. Income for the third quarter totaled KRW3.1 trillion, down from KRW4.0 trillion a year earlier.For the January-September period, ROA averaged 1.26%. The gross income/asset ratio, a key measure of profitability, has fallen each of the three quarters in 2006, averaging 2.86% for the nine-month period, which compares unfavorably to 5.44% for the U.S. banks.Narrower net interest margin (NIM) resulting from competition most likely contributed to the declining bank profitability. NIM averaged 2.66% for the January-September period, compared with 2.81% for the same period a year earlier.* Please refer to the attached PDF for details.

Introduction of Third Insurance with Cash Value and Bancassurance Supervision

Bancassurance was first introduced in August, 2003, to help consumers purchase insurance at a lower cost and improve market efficiency. In light of the potential impact of bancassurance on the insurance market, a phase-in approach was adopted. Under this approach, sale of savings-type insurance began in August, 2003. This was followed by the sale of exclusively protection-type “third insurance” providing coverage against illnesses and injuries as well as post -illness and post -injury risks in April, 2005. In October, the sale of third insurance with cash value at maturity (TICV) is set to begin.Sales of Bancassurance ProductsDuring the second phase of bancassurance (April, 2005, to June, 2006), sales totaled KRW7.3 trillion–KRW6.2 trillion for life and KRW1.1 trillion non-life insurance products–on earned premium basis. With earned premium rising more than 30% in FY2005, the growth outlook on the bancassurance market looks positive. Nearly all of the bancassurance sales (98.9%) were made through banks. Kookmin Bank and Shinhan Bank held 28.8% and 19.4%, respectively, of the sales.Market for TICVThe market for TICV, which is set to begin in October, is estimated at KRW12.7 trillion–KRW7.9 trillion for life and KRW4.8 trillion for non-life insurance products–a year, approximately 14% of the insurance market.When the third-phase bancassurance commences, insurance products that can be sold through banks and other financial institutions are expected to account for 51.5% of life insurance products and 36.1% of non-life insurance products.Tax Benefits of TICVConsumers are expected to benefit from, among others, tax deductions and longer-term policies with TICV, a protection-type insurance that allows up to KRW1 million in deductions from the policyholder’s taxable income. The policy term for savings-type insurance is limited to 15 years (non-life), but no such term restriction is applicable to TICV as it is a protection-type insurance.Upsides of TICVConsumer

Preliminary Bank BIS Capital Ratios: June 2006

Preliminary figures show bank BIS capital ratios averaged 13.08% at the end of June, compared with end-2005 average of 13.00%. Bank capital rose KRW9.1 trillion or 8.8% on robust net income totaling KRW8.1 trillion for the first half of 2006, compared with KRW64.6 trillion or 8.2% jump in risk -weighted assets. Tier-1 capital rose 11.0% (KRW8.1 trillion) versus a 3.3% increase (KRW1.0 trillion) for tier-2 capital.The capital ratio rose for nine banks but fell for the others. Banks with higher capital ratios were helped by strong earnings. Kookmin Bank and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation increased their tier-2 capital by KRW1.9 trillion and KRW800 billion, respectively, with subordinated debt issues. For most of the banks with lower capital ratios than at end-2005, capital increases did not keep pace with increases in risk-weighted assets. Capital ratio for Shinhan Bank fell modestly following its merger with Chohung Bank on April 1, 2006. All the banks reported BIS capital ratio higher than 10% at end-June.* Please refer to the attached PDF for details.

Bank Loans Classified as Substandard or Below: First Half, 2006

Bank loans classified as substandard or below (SBLs)–substandard, doubtful, or presumed loss–totaled KRW8.8 trillion at the end of June, down from KRW9.7 trillion at the end of 2005. The ratio of SBLs to total outstanding loans fell from 1.22% to 1.02%, the lowest ratio since the forward-looking criteria were first adopted in 1999. Disposition of borrower collateral, aggressive write-off of SBLs, and a smaller increase in new SBLs–KRW6.0 trillion compared with KRW8.8 trillion for H1, 2005, and KRW7.1 trillion for H2, 2005–mainly contributed to the drop in SBL ratio for the first half of 2006.The SLB ratios fell for all the key borrower groups during the first half from end-2005, averaging 1.09% for corporate loans, 0.86% for household loans, and 1.80% for credit card receivables.

Bank First Half 2006 Net Income

Preliminary figures show domestic banks’ net income for the first half of 2006 will come to KRW8.09 trillion, up 23.4% or KRW1.54 trillion from KRW6.55 trillion a year earlier. An 8.5% or KRW1.1 trillion increase in interest income driven by continued loan growth as well as a 50.3% or KRW1.2 trillion drop in loan loss provisions mainly contributed to the robust earnings for the period.Net interest income for H1 totaled KRW14.5 trillion, up 8.5% from a year earlier, and made up 86.6% of the gross income for the period. Non-interest income jumped 6.3% to KRW2.3 trillion from KRW2.1 trillion a year earlier.As a result of the sharply higher H1 net income, the average ROA jumped from1.26% in H1, 2005, to 1.40%. The gross income/asset ratio fell slightly from 2.98% to 2.92%, while the net income/gross income ratio averaged 48.1%, compared with 42.2% a year earlier. Narrower interest margins (from 3.11% to 2.95%) most likely contributed to the modest drop of the gross income/asset ratio for the period despite a continued growth of loan assets.* Please refer to the attached PDF for details.
