3.Risk Management Reporting

When a major risk event occurs (e.g., the U.S. banking crisis and Credit Suisse crisis in 2023), the risk management units would summarize information and report to their superiors to strengthen the implementation of risk management mechanisms. The FHC periodically examines risk assessment indicators, exposure to concentration risk, and stress test results. It also reports the operating status of risk management to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis (Note).
Note: Reports were submitted to the Board of Directors on March 9, May 11, and August 17, 2023.
