TWSE Market Insights

＜中文版＞

Leveraging its abundant private savings, robust economic growth momentum, and world-leading technology sector, the government is actively advancing its grand vision of establishing itself as the “Asian Asset Management Center.” This vision aims to leverage Taiwan’s unique advantages by retaining abundant capital domestically while simultaneously attracting international funds and talent, injecting vitality into industrial development, and aspiring for Taiwan to become a shining new force on Asia’s financial map.

This vision is not merely a slogan, but a strategically significant initiative aimed at positioning Taiwan as a hub for asset management in the coming years and creating new growth momentum for the financial industry. To achieve this goal, the Taiwanese government will continue to optimize the regulatory environment, actively cultivate international talent, and provide a stable and forward-looking market. This will position Taiwan not only as a center for capital aggregation but also as a provider of comprehensive solutions for high-net-worth clients’ wealth growth and sustainable legacy. At the same time, through inclusive finance, it will allow the benefits of financial development to be shared broadly and serve as a solid backbone for industrial growth.

To translate the commitments of this national strategy into concrete action and to build a bridge for global communication, the dedicated website of the Asian Asset Management Center (www.aamc.tw) has been launched. Under the guidance of the Financial Supervisory Commission, this dedicated website was coordinated and developed by the Taiwan Stock Exchange, with the Taipei Exchange, Taiwan Futures Exchange Co., Ltd., and Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation as co-organizers. Officially launched on September 1, 2025, it serves as the core platform for policy communication and showcasing achievements, writing a new chapter for the future of Taiwan’s financial market.

The core design of the Asian Asset Management Center’s dedicated website is to provide a highly integrated, real-time information service platform that accurately meets the needs of various users.
