Message From The President

Tetsuya Akino, PresidentKazuyuki Shimizu, Executive Vice President

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support and patronage.

The business environment surrounding local financial institutions is becoming increasingly severe due to concerns about the shrinking regional economy caused by population decline and aging, intensifying competition including from other business sectors, and heightened uncertainty in the global economy. On the other hand, expectations for improved earnings are rising as the shift from long-term ultra-low interest rate policies progresses.

Amid such circumstances, our Group has launched the "Fourth Medium-Term Group Management Plan," positioning the three years starting from April 2025 as "a period of accelerating evolution towards sustainable growth" as the second phase of achieving "Long-Term Vision 2030." Under the three basic strategies of "Social Issue Resolution Strategy," "Business Portfolio Strategy," and "Management Base Resilience Strategy," we will develop various measures.

While flexibly responding to changes in the surrounding environment, our Group will further refine the efforts we have been undertaking to strengthen consulting services and provide solutions that go beyond financial services. By enhancing our management foundation and increasing capital profitability, we aim to improve corporate value through the creation of both social and economic value, striving to become "A Value Creation Group Working Together with Local Communities."

We are committed to making every effort to design a prosperous future for the local region by consolidating the ingenuity of the Group to meet the expectations of our customers, local communities, and shareholders. We ask for your continued support as we strive toward this goal.
