Taiwan’s stock market is continuing its rally to record highs. On Wednesday, the index briefly surged above the 38,000 point mark during the trading session, reaching a record-high of 38,096. But the gains narrowed before the market closed, with the index closing up 273 points at 37,878. Foreign investors remained net buyers, purchasing NT$11.6 billion worth of shares. And big changes are coming for foreign investors, who account for nearly 47% of Taiwan’s stock market. The Financial Supervisory Commission is amending regulations so that listed companies are allowed to pay dividends in US dollars to foreign shareholders. The new regulations could take effect as early as next year. Let’s hear more.

Taishin Securities Investment Advisory Vice President
Foreign investors already account for over 46% of market capitalization in listed companies. That means if these high cash dividends can be paid in US dollars, I think it would better align with international standards. It’s a good policy for listed companies.
As Taiwan stocks repeatedly hit record highs and market capitalization continues to expand, paying dividends to foreign institutional investors in US dollars would mainly benefit tech stocks with overseas manufacturing and ADR listings. The most representative example is TSMC, which has responded that it welcomes the policy. The company said it would evaluate possible approaches once the detailed rules are officially announced.
