In 2021, the pandemic and lockdowns strongly affected the global economy and international supply chain. However, the performance of Taiwan’s banking industry was relatively outstanding.Although the interest rate has fallen, the profits of domestic banks continued to grow and spikes a record high. In addition to the stable domestic lending business, the return of overseas funds and the government’s incentives of public consumption have become the main drivers of profit growth. At the same time, factors such as the continuous growth of wealth management and other businesses are also important for helping domestic banks to achieve better operating performance.
Geopolitical risks have become main concerns between countries. From the Sino-US trade war to the war between Russia and Ukraine, this year the accompanying trade restrictions and financial sanctions have caused the banking industry to be extra careful in overseas investment to avoid potential landmines and suffer heav y losses. However, due to the changes, the supply chain has been forced to restructure, which can be regarded as a new opportunity for the banking industry. Banks can expand their overseas presence by assisting in raising funds and transferring assets, and continuing to assist Taiwan companies to expand their locations.
