Strengths and Challenges
Strengths (2) High profitability & efficiency
In FY3/2009, business uncertainty intensified quickly toward the turn of the fiscal year as the financial crisis worsened after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September and the global economy deteriorated rapidly. Despite the difficult environment, SMBC recorded a steady increase in its banking profit in FY3/2009. High profitability and efficiency, our competitive edge, were the main drivers of the profit growth.
