FINANCIAL MARKET OVERVIEW - HISTORY
Over the second half of the 20th century, Taiwan has transformed itself from a predominantly agrarian economy into a vigorous industrialized economy, a process that may be summarized in three main phases:
Taiwan’s economy transform has gone through three phases of development:
Phase 1: 1949 to 1980 Shift from Agriculture to Manufacturing
Phase 2: 1981 to 1999 Ongoing Industrial Development
Phase 3: from 2000 onwards Reform for Sustainable Development
In 1949, the Central Bank relocated with the government from Mainland China to Taipei . A highly successful land reform program launched Commonly, bonds issued by the government as compensation for the agricultural lands confiscated and redistributed were utilized by the former landlords as collateral to secure loans with which they started up manufacturing and other businesses.
Beginning in the 1980s, the government implemented a series of measures to liberalize and internationalize the economy and privatize state-run enterprises. Labor-intensive industries, once the mainstay of Taiwan's economy, gave way to technology- and capital-intensive industries.
Globalization, trade liberalization, and the rise of neighboring China as an economic power pose new challenges for Taiwan's economic development in the new century. To meet them, the government has taken measures to upgrade Taiwan's industries, implemented financial reforms to foster a more attractive investment environment.

FINANCIAL MARKET OVERVIEW - RECENT DEVELOPMENT
2 phase financial reforms have been conducted from 2000 :
Background
Taiwan opened its market for new banks in the early 1990s. As a result, 16 new banks were established and left behind an “over-banking” problem. More specifically, while market competition stimulated the development of the financial markets, the overly competitive banking market deteriorated banks’ asset quality, narrowed their interest spread and reduced profit margin from them.
For example, the market share of the top 5 banks in Taiwan only accounts for 38%, while the figures in Korea and Hong Kong are 87% and 76% respectively. In other words, Chinese Taipei lacked big and good banks.
Over-regulation was another problem in our financial market. Previously, banks were considered as policy tools aiming to support our manufacturing industry. This situation inevitably restricted the effectiveness of market mechanism and limited the competitiveness of our financial markets. PhaseⅠof Financial Reform (started in 2000)
The goal of the first reform aimed at resolving the non-performing loan problems.
For the purpose, the previous financial regulator, the Ministry of Finance (MoF), lowered business tax of financial institutions from 5% to 2% and the Central Bank lowered deposit reserves to encourage bad debt write-offs.
The Ministry of Finance established the Financial Restructuring Fund (or RTC fund) and created Asset Management Companies to deal with distressed financial institutions and resolve their deteriorated assets.

MATERIALE NPV – RIPRODUZIONE VIETATA
FINANCIAL MARKET OVERVIEW - RECENT DEVELOPMENT
The MoF enacted the Financial Institution Merger Act and the Financial Holding Company Act to create a better M&A legal environment and lessen the adverse effect of over-banking.
The results of the first reform are significant. The average NPL ratio of domestic banks reduced from 11.27% in 2001 to 2.39% in June 2006.
In addition, 14 financial holding companies have been established since 2001. However, since there are only few M&A deals in recent years, the number of our banks is still large.
To promote integrated financial supervision, we have also enacted a law aiming at the integration of several supervisory agencies. The Financial Supervisory Commission was established on July 1, 2004 to consolidate the supervision of banking, securities and insurance sectors, and to act as a single regulator under the Executive Yuan. PhaseⅡof Financial Reform (started in 2004 till now)
The key objective of phaseⅡfinancial reform is consolidation and promoting Taiwan as a regional fund-raising and asset management center.
The four goals of market consolidation are: (1) three banks with market share over 10% by the end of 2005; (2) halving the number of state-owned banks by the end of 2005; (3) reducing FHCs (4)financial institutions with foreign investment.
To speed up financial M&As, the FSC has been trying to create an environment beneficial for consolidation, not only for domestic financial institutions but also for foreign investors.
It revises outdated regulations to be in line with international norms, implements differentiated supervisory measures to encourage well-performing financial institutions, and offers incentives for consolidation. . 8
