Woori Bank shakes off first-half slump, posts record third-quarter net profit

Woori Bank rebounded from weak first-half results, posting a record quarterly net profit of 1.03 trillion won in the third quarter, up 22 percent from the previous quarter. Nine-month net profit rose 4.7 percent from a year earlier to 2.40 trillion won. Higher interest income from expanded corporate lending, stronger non-interest income and lower loan-loss provisions supported results. Its net interest margin fell and delinquency indicators worsened.
