Taiwan Weeks: A New Chapter in Asset Management
In October 2025, Taiwan will proudly host the first-ever
Taiwan Weeks, a major initiative aimed at solidifying its role as a leading asset management hub in Asia. Scheduled from
October 15 to 23, this event is spearheaded by the
Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) of Taiwan. At a press conference in Taipei, FSC Chairperson
Dr. Jin-Lung Peng highlighted the importance of this initiative in attracting global investment and integrating Taiwan further into the international financial ecosystem.
The
Taiwan Weeks is not merely a marketing event; it serves as a robust platform for
global dialogue, innovation exchange, and fostering
cross-border investment collaborations. Dr. Peng emphasized that the event is meticulously planned and has been in the works for over six months, with participation from key financial regulators and organizations including the Securities and Futures Bureau, Banking Bureau, and Insurance Bureau, along with four pivotal institutions: the
Taiwan Stock Exchange,
Taipei Exchange,
Taiwan Futures Exchange, and
Taiwan Depository Clearing Corporation.
A Two-Week Showcase of Policy and Innovation
The primary objective of
Taiwan Weeks is to showcase Taiwan’s
asset management policies and innovations through a series of targeted activities. Participants will engage in interactive discussions centered on Taiwan’s regulatory frameworks, the promotion of innovative financial products, the enhancement of financial inclusion, and the commitment to
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) sustainability. This inclusive approach aligns with Taiwan's broader plans to build a
resilient financial ecosystem.
A dedicated website for the event,
taiwanweeks.com, has recently launched, providing potential attendees with vital details about schedules, speakers, and insights into Taiwan’s capital markets.
An Agenda of Engagement and Insight Sharing
The festivities commence on
October 15 with an
opening ceremony that features keynote speeches from prominent leaders in the asset management realm, coupled with panel discussions among experts and scholars. Topics will dissect the evolving nature of capital markets and propose strategies for ensuring inclusive and sustainable growth throughout Asia.
Additionally, the agenda will cover crucial subjects such as ESG implementation, corporate governance practices, and innovative approaches in
exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Various sessions are set to welcome distinguished guests, including senior policy makers and financial thought leaders, who will share their valuable insights on aspects like market resilience and intercontinental collaboration.
The FSC aims to leverage
Taiwan Weeks as a strategic venue for enhanced international dialogues, developing talent, and promoting policy collaborations. Local and global stakeholders will interact, facilitating
cross-border investment partnerships, strengthening cooperation between academic institutions and industry applications, and generating actionable policy proposals through effective knowledge sharing.
