Items stated in the management plan
FormulatedEach line is the climb from the baseline the document states to the target it sets. The slope is scaled against the largest climb in this document. For metrics expressed as percentages, differences are shown in percentage points (pt).The increase shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the amount of growth.
The management environment is in an unprecedented phase in which sustained interest rate increases intersect with intensifying competition for deposit funding. Based on the recognition that management must shift to an approach adapted to the era of inflation, the Company will elevate the implementation of investments and initiatives in each area advanced under the 21st Medium-Term Management Plan into the stage of producing tangible results. Treating the previous long-term financial targets as milestones only, it will update the targets to a higher level and establish a firm trajectory for profit growth toward its 100th anniversary.
