Admin’s Note

The recent record profits reported by the three megabanks are particularly interesting, especially considering the backdrop of rising interest rates and increased corporate funding needs. I feel it’s important to pay attention to the concerns regarding outflows of deposits into government bonds and the tightening of regulations related to AI, as these could pose uncertainties for the future. I want to keep an eye on the evolving economic situation and how the megabanks respond to it. It’s essential to remember that trends in the financial industry can significantly impact our lives as well.
