(Central News Agency reporter Su Ssu-yun, Taipei 29th) Statistics from the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) show that domestic banks' outstanding loans to the six major core strategic industries reached NT$8,691.7 billion by the end of March this year, an increase of NT$794.2 billion compared to the end of December 2024. The overall achievement rate reached 209.01% of the original Phase 4 expected growth target of NT$380 billion.
The FSC has been promoting the program for domestic banks to strengthen lending to the six major core strategic industries since 2022. The implementation period for Phase 4 was originally from January 1 to December 31, 2025, with a growth target of NT$380 billion. From April 1 this year, the program was to be succeeded by the five major trusted industries lending program. However, due to some banks reflecting that related credit and systems still require adjustment time, the implementation period for Phase 4 of the six major core lending program was extended until March 31 this year.
The FSC pointed out that as of the end of March, domestic banks' outstanding loans to the six major core strategic industries were NT$8,691.7 billion, an increase of NT$794.2 billion compared to the end of December 2024, achieving 209.01% of the original Phase 4 expected growth target of NT$380 billion. Among them, the defense and strategic industries saw the largest increase of NT$413.7 billion, followed by the information and digital industries with an increase of NT$405.7 billion, and then the civilian and strategic preparedness industries with an increase of NT$303.3 billion.
Regarding the increase of NT$42.9 billion in outstanding loans in March compared to February, the FSC noted that banks indicated that most manufacturers adjusted their short- and medium-term borrowings due to comprehensive considerations of industry characteristics, production cycles, or capital costs.
The FSC stated that as of the end of March, the top individual industries with the largest outstanding loans were the civilian and strategic preparedness industries with NT$4,337.4 billion, the defense and strategic industries with NT$3,728.9 billion, and then the green power and renewable energy industries with NT$3,305.0 billion.
According to FSC statistics, as of the end of March this year, the top five banks with the largest outstanding loans were Taiwan Bank, Land Bank of Taiwan, First Commercial Bank, Mega International Commercial Bank, and Hua Nan Commercial Bank.
In line with the Executive Yuan's approval of the six major core strategic industries promotion program on May 21, 2021, the FSC encourages banks to establish relationships with the six major industries—information and digital, cybersecurity excellence, Taiwan precision health, defense and strategic, green power and renewable energy, and civilian and strategic preparedness—and assist them in obtaining operating funds.
