Taiwan's Stock Market Faces Turbulence: National Stabilization Fund Signals Readiness

Government Monitors Market Volatility and Prepares for Potential Intervention.

Amidst recent market fluctuations, the National Financial Stabilization Fund (also known as the National Security Fund) in Taiwan has released a statement addressing the current economic climate. While acknowledging the unavoidable short-term volatility, the fund emphasizes that market performance will ultimately be driven by fundamentals. Investors are urged to analyze market information with a level head and approach the recent volatility in the Taiwanese stock market (台股) cautiously.

The National Security Fund is closely monitoring both domestic and international stock market conditions. The possibility of convening an extraordinary committee meeting is not ruled out. The purpose of such a meeting would be to discuss the domestic and international political and economic situations and formulate appropriate responses aimed at upholding investor confidence and safeguarding the stability of Taiwan's capital market.

According to inside sources, the National Security Fund has already completed three key contingency plans regarding potential market interventions. These include assessing: first, the performance of the U.S. stock market's opening today and Taiwan's stock market's opening tomorrow; second, the extent of market declines in other countries or regions; and third, the degree to which U.S. stock index futures contract declines have subsided. A meeting to potentially intervene in the market could be held as early as tomorrow afternoon.
