Morioka three of Tohoku's largest regional banks have begun business integration talks aimed at boosting competitiveness as rising interest rates and shrinking populations put increasing pressure on local lenders.

Aomori-based Aomori Michinoku Bank Ltd., Morioka-based Bank of Iwate Ltd., and Akita-based Akita Bank Ltd. announced the discussions at a news conference in Morioka on Oct. 2.

The tie-up would bring together the leading banks in Aomori, Iwate and Akita prefectures in a rare cross-prefectural integration to expand scale and boost competitiveness.

If completed, the group would hold about 12 trillion yen, 76.2 billion dollars in deposits and roughly 13.3 trillion yen in assets, making it Tohoku's largest regional banking group.

The banks aim to complete the integration in April 2028 through a joint holding company.

These awful sudden risings of the sea are called by the Japanese tsunami.

The last one occurred on the evening of June 17, 1896, when a wave nearly 200 miles long struck the northeastern provinces of Miyagi, Iwate, and Aomori, wrecking scores of towns and villages, ruining whole districts, and destroying nearly 30,000 human lives.
