Sony Group Corp. said Thursday it is considering listing its financial unit, Sony Financial Group Inc., in the next few years.

The listing would raise funds needed to strengthen its entertainment and image sensor businesses, Sony Group President Hiroki Totoki said at a press conference.

Sony Financial was previously listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, but the parent company made it a wholly owned unit in 2020 in order to speed up decision-making.

Totoki, who took the helm of the group in April, outlined its business strategy for fiscal 2023 at the press conference.
