EToday reports that on the earnings call Hanwha Life said resuming cash dividends requires prior reform of the surrender value reserve regime; under the current rules, these reserves materially reduce distributable profit, so dividend capacity shrinks even if earnings grow. The company confirmed there has been no additional regulatory easing and gave no concrete timetable for restarting dividends, implying continued suspension despite reported profit. (news.nate.com)
