Summary of New Year’s Greeting to Employees by President & CEO Nobuyuki Koga

Happy New Year!

I have repeatedly dubbed the securities industry an industry of intellectual creativity; this year I would like to add that it is also a versatile industry capable of responding to change. I say this because I believe that as change and reform become a routine part of our lives we should be ever mindful that the securities industry continues to adapt itself to the changing environment. The everyday occurrence of change presents significant opportunities to the securities industry, and the ability to chart a course to guide customers through such changes forms part of our business and is a source of continued growth. Therefore, I would like for us to be vividly aware of the fact that if we lose sight of this our business will be depleted of its very lifeblood.

Change comes in many guises, among which include the sort that occur unheralded, almost before one realizes it. Many such changes have taken place in recent years. What we must pay particular attention to is the fact that a definite change in people’s minds is also taking place against the background of visible changes happening around us. So as not to lose sight of such changes, it is important that we face things with an open mind regardless of predictions and focus our efforts firmly on the facts before our very eyes. We must apply our collective creativity and intellectual capital to all changes that we face. I would like to impress upon you that this kind of activity epitomizes the very essence of our business.

I would like to make 2004 a year of creativity through insightful and stimulating debate in keeping with the spirit of Nomura’s tradition.
