Taiwan Stock Exchange

Promote International Cooperation

Association memberships

The TWSE has participated in numerous international events in recent years to assure parallel congruity on trends in the worldwide financial market and private sector. In recent years, the TWSE has actively promoted the Taiwan securities market, and used its memberships or affiliated memberships in domestic and global organizations to extensively observe and revise innovative methodologies that are beneficial and applicable to our market. The TWSE has utilized this to increase the exposure and visibility of Taiwan's market. The key associations that the TWSE and its subsidiaries participate in are tabulated on the pages that follows.

Deepen international connections

Fierce global competition among global stock markets is a fact of which the TWSE is keenly aware, and therefore necessitates the enhancement of its "international connections" and engagement in worldwide cooperation with the goal of further globalizing the Taiwan stock market. The TWSE signed 44 effective MOUs/ MOCs with 30 exchanges, with cooperation expanding through product cross-listing, compiling joint indices, visits between top executives, professional technology workshops and joint marketing. These efforts extended the reach of the Taiwan securities market, attracted international capital to invest in the Taiwan stock market and also promoted Taiwan's advantages and strengths to elevate Taiwan's standing and positioning.

• Gender equality initiative

  The TWSE once again took part in the eighth "Ring the Bell for Gender Equality" event, hosted by the WFE. In 2022, a total of 121 exchanges and CCPs registered to celebrate this annual event. To highlight Taiwan's achievements in gender equality and the TWSE's support for this goal, a group photo of female TWSE executives supporting gender equality was published in the March issue of the newsletter for institutional investors as well as in WFE Focus.




• Meetings of the Asia-Pacific Central Securities Depository Group ("ACG")

  The TDCC hosted the ACG Cross Training Seminar (the "CTS"), which ran from September 26 to 28, with the participation of almost 400 people representing 27 ACG members and international financial organizations. The CTS is designed to enhance business exchanges among Asia-Pacific CSDs. In the run-up to the CTS, the TDCC held an online event called "ACG Networking Week" in early September, with the six ACG task groups getting up to date through extensive discussions. This year's ACG Networking Week was built on the theme of "Reshaping CSD in a New Normal," exploring the industry reforms and trends in the post-pandemic world.
