Top officials from the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE), headed by Sherman Lin, the bourse’s chairman and chief executive officer, are visiting the US in mid-March, seeking to attract global capital and bolster cross-border ties.
The move comes as Taiwan’s government aims to turn the island into a regional asset management hub, with a target to double the industry’s size to NT$60 trillion (US$2 trillion) by 2030.
TWSE officials will meet with representatives from the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market, technology firms, and institutional investors during their visit.
Their discussions will focus on regulatory frameworks and product innovation, the TWSE says in a statement on March 6.
“The visit supports Taiwan’s goal to develop an Asian asset management centre and advance the Asia innovation capital platform, thereby strengthening cross-border capital linkages.”
According to Lin, Taiwan has become an increasingly important market for global institutional investors.
“Through consistent engagement and transparent communication, we aim to reinforce investor confidence and ensure that Taiwan remains a dependable destination for international capital,” he says.
