Taiwan's National Stabilization Fund Remains Inactive, Reports NT$8.05 Billion Net Profit in Q1
Taiwan's National Stabilization Fund held its Q1 regular meeting on April 13, 2026, and decided to remain inactive. As of the end of March 2026, the fund reported a net profit of NT$8.054 billion, holding NT$3.56 billion in stock market value with unrealized capital gains of NT$1.273 billion. The fund ceased its market stabilization mission on January 12, 2026. Since its withdrawal, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Weighted Index rose by 4,890 points (16%) to 35,457.29 points by April 13, 2026, indicating no negative impact. The fund noted that escalating geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East and soaring energy prices pose inflation risks and could hinder economic growth, leading to sharp fluctuations in Taiwan's stock market. However, Taiwan's government is implementing measures to ensure stable energy supply, commodity prices, and supply chain operations. The nation's strong economic fundamentals, robust domestic demand, stable employment, growing exports, and strong corporate earnings are expected to support economic growth and market stability. The fund will continue to monitor global economic changes.
