TOKYO -- Japan's top three banking groups are expected to report a record combined net profit of around 3 trillion yen ($19.3 billion) for the year ended in March 2024, as higher interest rates overseas improved margins on lending operations.
The number would mark a 20% jump from the previous year and would be the highest since Japan's banking industry was consolidated into the three top players in fiscal 2005.
