Fee and commission income
For the MHFG Group’s accounting policy for the recognition of Fee and commission income, see Note 1 “Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies.”

59
 billion and ¥
87
 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, respectively, and ¥

billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, respectively.
