Chukyo economic-zone concentration strategy

  • Aichi Prefecture base: the Nagoya economic zone = Japan’s No.3 economic zone (after Tokyo and Osaka), with population concentration and high-density manufacturing GDP
  • Within-prefecture regional-bank reorganization model: 2 行 integration within the same prefecture → cutting overlapping branches, improving the cost structure, and strengthening lending capacity through scale effects

Merger synergies (2022-10 integration → 2025-01 bank merger)

  • Integration of overlapping branches / headquarters functions → cost reduction
  • Systems integration → IT-investment efficiency
  • Optimization of staff placement → strengthened sales capability

Chukyo economic-zone regional-bank reorganization model

Aichi FG is a 3 -step integration model of integration within the same prefecture 2 行 → holding-company formation → bank merger.

  • Stage 1 (2022-10): management integration via holding-company formation (maintaining both bank brands)
  • Stage 2 (2025-01 planned): full unification in name and substance via bank merger

Reference cases of nearby regional banks:

  • san-jusan-fg (2018 integration of Mie Bank + Dai-San Bank → 2021 San-ju-san Bank merger) = forerunner model for Aichi FG
  • juroku-fg (2021 Juroku Bank holding-company formation)
