Summary
NT$31.48 trillion in overseas exposure at end-Q2 marked a record for Taiwan’s financial sector, up 16.47% from NT$27.03 trillion a year earlier, FSC data showed.
NT$22.82 trillion of the total came from net investments, alongside NT$6.83 trillion in net loans and NT$1.83 trillion in interbank deposits and loans.
The US stayed the largest destination for the 45th straight quarter at a record NT$11.16 trillion, accounting for 35.45% of total exposure, while China remained second at NT$2.02 trillion despite banks saying the longer-term trend there is still contraction.
Japan posted the fastest annual growth among the top 10 destinations, rising 45.92% to NT$1.65 trillion and holding third place, helped by Taiwanese corporate expansion tied to TSMC’s investment push there.
Australia exposure reached about NT$1.5 trillion, up 29.8% year on year, as banks cited stable markets and growing interest in corporate banking and cross-border financing.
