On the financial front, financial institutions in Hiroshima Prefecture have been pursuing forward-looking approaches such as establishing a system to support firms that are strengthening their businesses toward Asian countries.
Moreover, several financial institutions have participated in the Bank’s “Fund-Provisioning Measure to Support Strengthening the Foundations for Economic Growth” and have been using it as an opportunity to expand new lending methods that enable long-term lending. I sincerely wish you every success in your endeavor to achieve growth and I also hope that the economy of this region will further fulfill its potential.
