Revitalizing Local Economies through Financial Intermediation and Consulting

「Centered on the “Regional Mirai Co-Creation Business,” launched during the previous medium-term management plan period (October 2023–March 2026), we will address social issues such as business closures and suspensions caused by population aging and a lack of successors, as well as labor shortages. We will also use dividend income and unrealized gains from cross-shareholdings to revitalize regional industries, pass them on to the next generation, and support the creation and growth of new core regional companies.」

「As the regional economy is expected to contract due to population decline, we will move beyond conventional financial intermediation by further strengthening services such as support for the establishment and growth of regional companies, including venture companies, M&A and business succession, and branding and sales-channel development for traditional industries. In doing so, we will create new value in the regional economy and move forward as a company that creates the future together with the region.」

「In addition to exercising the financial intermediation capabilities of a bank, we will further strengthen our consulting capabilities, expand and enhance our business activities as a locally rooted comprehensive solutions company across both financial and non-financial fields, and contribute further to revitalizing the regional economy.」

「As a comprehensive solutions company, we will contribute further to the revitalization and growth of the regional economy by addressing these various issues through our financial intermediation and consulting capabilities in line with this medium-term management plan.」
