Taiwan's stock market capitalization surpassed India's in May, becoming the fifth largest in the world. TWSE Chairman Lin Shiu-ming and Wiwynn Chairwoman Emily Hong were interviewed by Bloomberg on the 28th, discussing how the TWSE supports key AI supply chain companies like Wiwynn to push Taiwan's AI infrastructure globally. Lin stated that Taiwan possesses the world's only complete AI ecosystem, from wafer fabrication to system assembly, creating a unique 'ecosystem valuation premium' that makes Taiwan a key hub for global AI capital pricing. Lin emphasized that Taiwan sells the entire supply chain, not just individual companies. Wiwynn's Hong noted that as AI development scales, the massive capital expenditure by cloud service providers puts pressure on supply chain liquidity, making Taiwan's active capital market a crucial support for global operations. The TWSE plans to continue market reforms, including optimizing odd-lot trading and ETF development, to strengthen international connectivity.
