Of course global talent can play an active role overseas, but since the Company has subsidiaries overseas, we can also entrust work to outstanding local human capital. It is important to put local recruits in top positions at overseas subsidiaries and support them with global talent that can conduct management well. I have experience in establishing and managing a company in the Philippines, and I felt that compassion and appreciation are important no matter where in the world we are. I believe that overseas human capital refers to such people who can respect the local culture and feelings.

ROHM is actively continuing capital expenditure in the current Medium-Term Management Plan, and I have received various explanations at Board of Directors meetings. However, increased global demand for semiconductors has led to rising semiconductor-related capital investment costs. I believe that it is important to keep investment costs low so that we can start small and grow big, but I am concerned that outside directors are not able to easily see whether this is happening as expected.
