Peng Jin-long: Taiwan is now an international-level capital market, requiring more diverse products

According to the Central News Agency, Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) Chairman Peng Jin-long stated on the 27th that Taiwan's capital market has become an international-level market. He expects the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) and the Taipei Exchange (TPEx) to play more active roles in making the market more robust, internationalized, and forward-looking. He emphasized the need for more diverse product services to meet the criteria of an international capital market. During an awards ceremony held by the Economic Daily News, Peng noted that Taiwan introduced its first warrants in 1997, a move linked to the policy of making Taiwan an Asian financial hub. Thirty years later, Taiwan is promoting an asset management center plan to upgrade the financial industry. Despite many challenges, the warrant market now ranks among the top globally in trading volume and holds significant potential. TWSE Chairman Sherman Lin stated that as of 2025, there are 50,000 listed warrants, with trading volume ranking 5th globally.
