As the environment surrounding regional banks becomes more severe, "Aomori Bank" and "Michinoku Bank", which have their head offices in Aomori City, are making final adjustments by entering into discussions for business integration in order to strengthen the management base. I found out.
The share of lending in Aomori Prefecture is as high as about 70% when the two banks are combined, but it is expected that the special law, which is not subject to the Antimonopoly Act, will be applied.
