Risks identified by the company
Increasing severity of top risks
Accelerating population decline and aging business owners
Increase in the number of corporate bankruptcies in the prefecture
Rising interest rates and expanding market volatility
Increase in financial crimes, including special fraud and phishing
Reason for revision or withdrawal

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.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The Company’s basic recognition is that management must shift to an approach adapted to the era of inflation in order to address unprecedented uncertainty, including sustained interest rate increases and intensifying competition for deposit funding, rising prices and energy costs, and labor shortages. It also intends to treat the previous long-term financial targets as milestones, update the targets to a higher level, and establish a firm trajectory for profit growth toward its 100th anniversary.
