Dividend Information

 

   

In the mid- to long-term, Woori Financial Group plans to not only increase dividends per share according to improvement in net income, but also to gradually increase its dividend payout ratio to around 30% based on the group’s mid- to long-term management plan (resolved by the board of directors on December 18, 2020). The company also plans to review various market-friendly shareholder return policies to improve shareholder value while maintaining capital adequacy, once COVID-19 stabilizes.

 

   

The above plans are subject to change taking into account factors such as the COVID-19 situation and changes in the domestic and overseas business environment. Further details will be separately disclosed after a resolution of the board of directors of our company.
