Reading: the main contributors to business net profit are domestic retail / cards / consumer credit (SMCC + SMBCCF) at a scale of about 1 兆円, exceeding SMBC standalone (5,864 億), making the card business + consumer finance one of the pillars of SMFG’s consolidated profit (in contrast to MUFG, which is led by JCIB+GCIB corporate IB). BTPN (Indonesia) is down YoY, affected by the regional economy.

Observation: the 2022-10 SMBC Nikko market-manipulation matter, in which 5 名 executive employees were criminally prosecuted (arrested by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office Special Investigation Department 2022-03 ), developed into a dual disposition by the FSA / Tokyo District Court, one of the largest securities-industry governance incidents in recent years. An improvement-measure order was also issued to the SMFG parent company, and subsequent strategies such as Olive integration / SBI alliance / Jefferies alliance are proceeding in the context of this governance reconstruction.
