The Taiwan Financial Services Commission published end-2024 statistics on outward investments and related profits for Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) and Taipei Exchange (TPEx) listed companies, showing modest growth in cumulative investment outflows to China alongside much larger growth in investment outflows to markets outside China. As of end-2024, 1,211 listed companies (68.46% of 1,769) reported investments in China. Cumulative China investment outflows totalled NTD 2,844bn (TWSE: NTD 2,588bn; TPEx: NTD 256bn), up NTD 108bn from end-2023, while 2024 profits from China investments totalled NTD 490bn (TWSE: NTD 463bn; TPEx: NTD 27bn), the second-highest on record and up NTD 41bn year on year; 2024 profit inflows from China investments were NTD 186bn and cumulative repatriated profits reached NTD 1,040bn, equal to 36.59% of cumulative outflows. Outside China, 1,328 listed companies (75.07%) reported overseas investments, with cumulative outflows of NTD 9,796bn (TWSE: NTD 9,079bn; TPEx: NTD 717bn), up NTD 1,177bn from end-2023, and 2024 profits of NTD 1,024bn (TWSE: NTD 982bn; TPEx: NTD 42bn), the third-highest on record and up NTD 351bn. The Commission also pointed to a longer-term post-2018 shift away from China exposure, noting slower investment pace in China, steady profit repatriation, and increased outward investment outside China as part of broader geographic diversification, and said it will continue monitoring developments.
