The government decided to select financial risk institutions within the next month by creating a comprehensive evaluation system that comprehensively considers financial indicators, financial performance, and degree of financial improvement.

Details such as business risk and financial risk-related indicators such as profitability and cash flow for the past 5 years, performance and forecasts, evaluation grades for the past 3 years of economic and budget management performance items, and whether or not the evaluation scores of financial indicators such as debt ratio have improved for 2 consecutive years evaluation criteria.

The government plans to select institutions with scores that do not meet the ‘investment qualification’ criteria as financial risk institutions by setting its own indicators by referring to the credit rating techniques used by private rating agencies to rate corporate credit.

Even if the government’s own indicators determine that it is ‘qualified for investment’, it plans to include institutions with a debt ratio above a certain level as financial risk institutions.

The government plans to intensively manage selected financial risk institutions by requiring them to undergo an internal committee verification involving external experts when drafting a mid- to long-term financial management plan, and by negotiating the total amount of annual investment and the amount of contribution.

In addition, by setting a target interest rate, it supports the improvement of management efficiency by easing the interest cost burden of the institution, such as issuing long-term bonds, diversifying debt portfolios, and adjusting the borrowing period.
