Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission publishes Q2 2025 data showing China investment outflows fall to NTD 2,684 billion as non-China outflows climb to NTD 10,237 billion

Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission published Q2 2025 statistics on listed companies’ outward investment and related profits, showing a further reduction in cumulative investment outflows to China alongside continued expansion of overseas investment excluding China. The update also reported that profits from China investments reached a record high in the quarter. As of Q2 2025, 1,200 listed companies had investments in China, representing 67.26% of the 1,784 listed companies and down 11 from end-2024. Cumulative China investment outflows totalled NTD 2,684 billion, down NTD 160 billion from end-2024, while Q2 profits from China investments totalled NTD 244 billion, the highest on record and up NTD 17 billion year on year; Q2 profit inflows from China investments were NTD 38 billion, and cumulative profit inflows reached NTD 1,078 billion, equal to 40.19% of cumulative China outflows. For overseas investment excluding China, 1,338 listed companies reported investments, representing 75% of listed companies and up 10 from end-2024; cumulative outflows rose to NTD 10,237 billion, up NTD 441 billion, and Q2 profits totalled NTD 458 billion, the third highest on record and up NTD 17 billion year on year. The release attributed the broader trend since 2018 to reduced investment in China and increased repatriation of China-related profits, alongside rising outward investment outside China, and indicated the Commission will continue monitoring developments.
