Abstract: Operating profits of Japanese banks in fiscal 1997 amounted to 5.4 trillion yen, down by 14 percent from the previous fiscal year. This decrease was primarily due to the following factors: (1) the disappearance of a temporary increase in trust fees (income) of trust banks in fiscal 1996; (2) the modest fall in net interest income on domestic operations due mainly to narrowing interest margins; and (3) the slight decrease in gross profits on international operations as a result of the expansion of the "Japan premium" and the downsizing of overseas branches and subsidiaries.
