Taiwan Strengthens International Capital Links, Promotes Asset Management Hub at ICMA London Annual Meeting

The International Capital Market Association (ICMA) held its annual general meeting in London from the 27th to the 29th. Taiwan's Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation (TDCC) and Taipei Exchange (TPEx), in collaboration with the Financial Supervisory Commission's London representative office, jointly set up a booth for the first time to promote Taiwan's ambition to become an Asian asset management hub. ICMA CEO Bryan Pascoe visited the booth. Taiwan's stock market has performed well, with the potential to rank among the top five global markets. TDCC and TPEx sent a high-level delegation of 10 to engage with international financial institutions. ICMA is a benchmark organization covering about 70 financial markets worldwide, setting standards such as the Green Bond Principles (GBP). The annual meeting attracted about 1,300 professionals from over 60 countries. Taiwan's delegation deepened international ties on topics like fintech and sustainable finance, and invited attendees to the "Taiwan Week" event in Taipei this November. Through meetings with major European banks like Barclays, Taiwan aims to encourage more international issuers to raise funds in the Taiwan market.
