20-11-2007: Japan's Sumitomo Trust, Aozora plan alliance
TOKYO: Japan's Sumitomo Trust & Banking Co and Aozora Bank Ltd said today they plan to form a business alliance, as the two mid-sized lenders vie to remain competitive in an increasingly cut-throat market. The two banks said in a statement they planned to work together in real estate, trusts and asset management but denied a newspaper report that they might eventually merge. Sumitomo Trust is Japan's fifth-largest bank by market capitalisation, while Aozora ranks 17th. While Sumitomo Trust is more than twice Aozora's size, both are dwarfed by the country's top three "megabanks", which include Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc and Mizuho Financial Group Inc. "Without a doubt this tie-up will likely be a plus for both banks," Credit Suisse analyst Shinichi Ina said in a note to clients today.
