Abstract: Operating profits of Japanese banks in fiscal 1998 amounted to 3.8 trillion yen, down from 5.1 trillion yen in fiscal 1997. Operating profits from core business -- which show the basic profitability of financial institutions -- however, maintained a relatively high level, recording 4.8 trillion yen, a slight increase from the 4.7 trillion yen of the previous year. On the other hand, recurring losses and net losses marked record levels of 7.2 trillion yen and 4.5 trillion yen, respectively. This was due mainly to the disposal of nonperforming loans amounting to 13.5 trillion yen.
