Taiwan's Ministry of Finance reports National Financial Stabilization Fund net income of NTD 8.054 billion and continued post-stabilisation asset sales

Taiwan's Ministry of Finance published an update on the National Financial Stabilization Fund, with the Fund’s Management Committee approving financial statements through end-March 2026 and reporting net income of about NTD 8.054 billion. It reiterated that the Fund ended its market stabilisation operations on 12 January 2026 and has since been disposing of its holdings. As of end-March 2026, the Fund held equities with a market value of NTD 3.56 billion versus an acquisition cost of NTD 2.287 billion, implying unrealised gains of around NTD 1.273 billion. The Fund began market stabilisation operations on 9 April 2025 and, with the TAIEX closing at 35,457.29 on 13 April 2026, the Ministry highlighted a rise of 4,890 points (16%) from 12 January 2026 and assessed that the suspension of operations had not negatively affected the stock market. The update flagged risks from escalating Middle East geopolitical tensions, higher energy prices and expectations of tighter monetary policy by major central banks, while stating that the Fund will continue to monitor domestic and international developments and manage its underlying assets prudently under the principle of not disrupting financial market stability.
