We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone for your continued support of group companies of Hokuhoku Financial Group.
As we welcome the fiscal year 2025, Hokuhoku Financial Group. stands at a new starting line for the next leap forward. Taking the opportunity of the 20th anniversary of our business integration last year, we have begun discussions aimed at the growth of our group and have established the purpose of "Creating a Bright Future Beyond Regions." To realize this purpose, we have also added a core value that we want all employees to share: "Your happiness and joy of the region mean the most to us."
This reflects our desire to be a driving force in solving regional issues as a broad-based regional financial group. In our new medium-term management plan "NEXT STAGE" starting in April, we will further work on enhancing our corporate value through solving the challenges of the region and our customers.
Additionally, we have acquired all the preferred shares originally issued by our subsidiary, The Hokkaido Bank, Ltd., 25 years ago. We would like to once again express our gratitude to our customers, partner companies, and local governments who have supported us over the years, and we aim to continue being a corporate group that stands by the region and creates a bright future.
We appreciate your continued support.
