The Taiwan Ministry of Finance published the operating results of the National Financial Stabilization Fund for its intervention and exit cycle running from April 8, 2025, to May 6, 2026. The fund entered the market after a sharp tariff-related selloff in April 2025 and completed its exit on May 6, 2026, generating total net income of NT$9.932 billion after financing and transaction costs. The fund's operating period ran from April 9, 2025, to January 12, 2026, for 279 days, followed by a disposal period from January 13, 2026, to May 6, 2026, for 114 days. Net cash revenue from share disposals was NT$22.11 billion against acquisition costs of NT$12.25 billion, excluding financing costs of NT$0.108 billion, producing NT$9.86 billion in net trading revenue. Dividend income added NT$0.198 billion, bringing total net income before costs to NT$10.058 billion. After deducting financing costs of NT$0.108 billion and transaction costs of NT$0.018 billion, net income was NT$9.932 billion. The ministry linked the intervention to the Taiwan market's April 7, 2025 drop of 2,065.87 points, or 9.7%, followed by a further 772.4-point, or 4.02%, fall on April 8 after the United States announced reciprocal tariff policies. By the fund's exit from active support on January 12, 2026, the TAIEX had rebounded to 30,567.29, up 12,107.34 points, or 65.59%. During the disposal phase, the market rose a further 10,571.56 points, or 34.58%, which the ministry said showed the exit did not disrupt market conditions. The ministry said the fund will continue monitoring potential volatility in local stock prices because Taiwan's market remains vulnerable to changes in the international political and economic environment.
