During this period, Chairman Jin met with major local financial institutions and institutional investors in Japan to share domestic and international industry trends. Following meetings with the Financial Services Agency of Japan and the Bank of Japan (BOJ), he met with key investors such as Daiwa Securities, Mizuho, and SMBC to convey the current status of the Korean financial market, which is rapidly stabilizing despite domestic and international political and economic uncertainties, as well as management performance and the progress of the value-up program.

A Shinhan Financial Group official stated, "We promised to faithfully fulfill our role as Korea’s leading value-up financial group for solid growth, including proactive household debt management, preemptive responses to uncertainties in real estate project financing (PF), and efforts to revitalize the capital market through the normalization of securities firms."

Chairman Jin emphasized, "Through this IR and meetings, we dispelled overseas investors’ concerns about the Korean economy and financial market and reaffirmed strong trust. Shinhan Financial will continue to convey the robust Korean financial market and Shinhan Financial’s efforts for sustainable growth through active communication with overseas investors."

Meanwhile, since the end of last year, Shinhan Financial has been promptly sharing and responding to the domestic financial market situation through one-on-one video conferences and face-to-face meetings with overseas investors, as well as through a global network of over 250 entities. Since last month, it has been listening to concerns and suggestions through a series of meetings with major domestic and international financial analysts such as Morgan Stanley and Samsung Securities.
