According to the industry on the 2nd, DGB Life Insurance had the lowest risk-based capital (RBC) ratio among life insurance companies that announced their performance at the end of last year.
DB Life Insurance (141.9%) and Nonghyup Life Insurance (147.5%) followed, and they also fell short of the level recommended by the authorities (more than 150%). Heungkuk Life Insurance (152.2%) barely exceeded the recommended level.

In April and June last year, DGB Life Insurance made a capital increase of 30 billion won and 150 billion won, respectively, citing financial soundness. DGB Life Insurance saw its RBC ratio fall to 84.5 percent at the end of March last year.
