Boosting Capital Markets and Families
Taiwan's government is using a new financial strategy to address both its declining birth rate and the growth of its domestic asset management sector. By directing part of child allowances into managed investment accounts, the government aims to create a steady source of long-term capital. This initiative supports the Financial Supervisory Commission's goal to double the assets managed locally. The program guarantees returns similar to a two-year fixed deposit, reducing investment risk for families and encouraging them to invest with professional fund managers instead of just saving money.
