[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] With an average stake of 3%, the chaebol family still controls the entire group, the report showed. Cases of maintaining bypass control through overseas affiliates continue.
According to the analysis of stock ownership status of 82 business groups subject to disclosure in 2023 released by the Fair Trade Commission on the 3rd, the average internal share ratio of all business groups subject to disclosure was 61.7%. Compared to a year ago (76 places, 60.4%), it increased by 1.3% point. The internal equity ratio is the portion of the total capital of affiliates held by interested parties, such as the actual owner of the company (the same person) or related relatives, executives, affiliates, and non-profit corporations.
The average internal share ratio of the business group (72 companies) with the head of the total public corporation group was 61.2%, with most of the affiliates' shares (53.3%). The average stake of the total family was 3.6%, down 0.1% point from last year. The total share of the head (the same person) and relatives was 1.7% and 1.9%, respectively.
The total family stake, which has remained in the 4% range since 2011, has fallen to the 3% range since 2019. Dunamu (0.21%), HD Hyundai (formerly Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, 0.47%), Kakao (0.51%), and SK·0.51% had the lowest total family share.
More and more people are using public corporations or foreign affiliates to expand their control. The number of local affiliates invested by public corporations and foreign affiliates of business groups with heads increased by six and 18 from a year earlier to 138 and 84, respectively. There were 66 non-financial affiliates invested by financial and insurance companies, the same as last year.
There are 900 companies that have more than 20% of the total family's shares or more than 50% of the company's shares, up 65 from last year. This is due to a sharp increase in the number of regulated companies (107 companies) in the newly designated business groups this year. The average share ratio of the total family members of companies subject to private-interest regulation was 16.97%, up 0.47% point from last year (16.5%).
