Taiwan

Taiwan's banking system is large relative to the economy and fragmented. At end-July 2026 there were 39 domestic banks, including the Export-Import Bank and the Agricultural Bank of Taiwan, alongside 31 foreign and Mainland Chinese banks with local branches, 23 credit co-operatives and Chunghwa Post's savings and remittances arm. Domestic banks held NT$77.55tn of assets at end-2025, equivalent to 270% of GDP on the central bank's measure. Most large banks sit within the 14 financial holding companies, led by CTBC Financial Holding and the state-owned Taiwan Financial Holding, parent of Bank of Taiwan.
