Message from President

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of you for your continued patronage to the Hokuhoku Financial Group and subsidiary companies.
　We would like to express our heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake and pray for a speedy recovery and reconstruction.

Although the effects of the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake remain in the three Hokuriku prefectures, which are our Group's main business areas, economic sentiment is gradually improving, thanks to recovery and reconstruction demand and the effects of the extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Tsuruga. In Hokkaido, personal consumption and tourism continue to show steady improvement.
In addition, new capital investments are expected to occur in the future, primarily in the device-related and environmental industries.　
Under these circumstances, we are accelerating our efforts in the priority areas of our fifth medium-term management plan, "Go forward with Our Region" by establishing specialized departments for SX, DX, Human Capital Management, etc. Furthermore, in order to meet the diversifying consulting needs of our customers, we plan to establish Hokuhoku Consulting Co., Ltd. within our group and begin operations.
We aim achieve both the development of the region and the growth of our group by solving the problems of the local community and customers.
We would like to ask for your continued support and patronage.

June, 2024

President  Hiroshi Nakazawa
Deputy President   Yuji Kanema
