(BTB), a Brazilian group company of Toyota Financial Services Corporation (TFS). The loan is co-financed with a private financial institution.
     
2. The loan is intended to finance part of the funds necessary for BTB to conduct the sales finance business mainly for Toyota brand automobiles in Brazil, following a loan in June 2021^*1.
     
3. Brazil is the largest automotive market in South America, and it continues to be crucial for Toyota Motor Corporation and other Japanese automakers. As automobile sales finance is often used when purchasing a vehicle in Brazil, the sales finance business has become an important strategy for manufacturers to increase their sales. This loan supports the overseas business deployment of one such Japanese automaker, thereby contributing toward maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of the Japanese automobile industry.
