Glonghui, April 26 | Japan's largest broker and investment bank Nomura announced results for the fourth fiscal quarter ending the end of March. Revenue increased 37% year over year to 445.1 billion yen; profit increased 6.7 times to 56.75 billion yen (about 364 million US dollars), hitting Nomura's investment banking business as the global banking crisis swept through the global market during the same period last year. Investment banking revenue from domestic and international transactions during the period hit new highs since the 2016/17 fiscal year, despite a drop in total global fees. Kentaro Okuda, President of Nomura and Group CEO, said that net revenue and profit before tax have increased in all of the Group's businesses, and will continue to focus on competitive advantage and cross-departmental cooperation in the future to provide added value. Furthermore, the Group will actively invest in areas with potential for growth and strictly control costs to enhance corporate value and achieve sustainable growth.
