Chen Yen-liang Calls for Taiwan Financial Overhaul and Asian Asset Management Hub

Global supply-chain restructuring, the net-zero transition and rising demand for green finance are reshaping cross-border capital flows and competition in the financial sector. Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission has therefore made financial resilience, capital-market functions and international competitiveness priorities for reform. Its central goal is to build an Asian asset management hub that can turn Taiwan’s industrial and capital advantages into drivers of financial growth.

FSC Vice Chairperson Chen Yen-liang told the 2026 Taiwan Capital Market Forum that Taiwan’s financial system needed a “bold overhaul” and that policymakers should break free from existing frameworks. The FSC plans to pursue the Asian asset management hub initiative, strengthen the capital market’s fundraising and investment functions, and enhance the financial sector’s competitiveness.
