A Message from the President & CEO

Being a bank that proactively innovates together with customers

As President & CEO of Mizuho Bank, I would like to express my deep appreciation for your continued interest and support.

The current times find all of us confronting overwhelming change. Globally, geopolitical tension is on the rise, polarization and disparity are growing ever wider, and digitalization and AI are making rapid advances. For Japan, the aging of the population and the declining birthrate are leading to shortages in both labor and in successors for businesses, while interest rates have recently returned to normal after an extended period of monetary easing.
Under these circumstances, our retail customers’ lives and corporate clients’ business activities are shifting day-to-day. Accordingly, the role we must fulfill as a bank is also shifting to become more multifaceted.

As a catalyst for change, we will continue to be a bank that supports the endeavors of all of our customers and employees. To that end, we are working to swiftly detect new trends both among our customer base and in broader society and provide the services our customers truly need right now, in line with our corporate Purpose of “Proactively innovate together with our clients for a prosperous and sustainable future.”

One of Mizuho’s strengths is the wide range of functions available across the various companies within the Mizuho group. Alongside further reinforcing the financial intermediary functions—deposits, lending, and settlement—of our bank, we are drawing upon the combined functions of other Mizuho group companies to offer optimal solutions.

Since my appointment as President & CEO, I have been at the forefront of ensuring Mizuho Bank is an organization where everyone can take on new challenges and exercise initiative. Our people are constantly growing as highly driven professionals who are passionate and creative about delivering greater value.

We appreciate your ongoing support and will make every effort to not only meet, but exceed, your expectations.
