Shares of Woori Financial Group will start being traded on the country’s main stock exchange this week, Korea’s bourse operator said on Feb. 12.

The initial public offering slated for Feb. 13 came around a month after the financial entity attained a holding firm structure, according to the Korea Exchange.
