Corporate & Investment Banking Company
In order to further strengthen our ability to meet the increasingly diverse and complex needs of our clients, we established the new Corporate & Investment Banking Company by integrating the Corporate & Institutional Company with the investment banking functions of the Global Products Unit. Increasing public interest in sustainability and other social issues is accelerating various structural shifts. By resolving social issues and supporting clients to enhance their corporate value, we will contribute to the sustainable growth and prosperity of industry, the economy, and society as a whole.
