2 reports · First detected 2026-03-10 · Last active 2026-03-14

Profits at Taiwan’s 13 listed financial holding companies reflect key financial-sector drivers including bank lending, wealth management, securities trading and life insurers’ investments.

Brisk activity in Taiwan’s stock market and improving interest margins put the prospect of breaking NT$100 billion in the first two months of the year in the spotlight.

Profit for the first two months totaled NT$144.699 billion, a 37% increase that not only cleared NT$100 billion but also set a record for the period. Fubon Financial led with NT$30.69 billion, followed by Cathay Financial with NT$26.62 billion, CTBC Financial with NT$15.526 billion and Taishin Shin Kong Financial with NT$14.99 billion.
