It seems that clouds is hanging over the steady growth of the economy that lasted several years, for the influence such as recent high crude oil prices, the issue of sub-prime problems and etc. A medium and small-sized business and the local economy are the still severe situation. The expansion of the domestic demand is first priority. However, at the same time, we believe it would be important medium and small-sized businesses to launch into overseas market as well. We would like to continue supporting these activities. Best wishes for the New Year.
Chairman T. Shimoji
Representative Director H. Tokuda
