Companies listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) with paid-in capital of more than NT$15 billion (US$498.1 million) would need to publish informational materials in Chinese and English from July 1, TWSE spokeswoman Rebecca Chen (陳麗卿) told the Taipei Times by telephone yesterday.
Listed companies with paid-in capital of NT$10 billion to NT$15 billion and firms that are more than 30 percent held by foreign investors would be required to publish informational materials in both languages from next year, Chen said.
Companies with paid-in capital of NT$2 billion to NT$10 billion would be required from 2022, she added.
From 2024, all companies listed on the TWSE would need to comply with the dual language requirement, as the nation’s main bourse endeavors to build a bilingual environment for investors, she said.
The new regulations resulted from yesterday’s amendments to the Procedures for Verification and Disclosure of Material Information of Companies with Listed Securities (對有價證券上市公司重大訊息之查證暨公開處理程序).
The exchange categorized listed companies into four groups based on the size of their capitalization or percentage of foreign shareholders, Chen said.
“Some large companies have taken charge in providing informational materials in Chinese and English to investors,” she said.
The number of companies listed on the TWSE reached 937 at the end November last year, with foreign investors holding on average 42 percent of a company’s shares, Chen said.

China yesterday announced anti-dumping duties as high as 74.9 percent on imports of polyoxymethylene (POM) copolymers, a type of engineering plastic, from Taiwan, the US, the EU and Japan. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce’s findings conclude a probe launched in May last year, shortly after the US sharply increased tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, computer chips and other imports. POM copolymers can partially replace metals such as copper and zinc, and have various applications, including in auto parts, electronics and medical equipment, the Chinese ministry has said. In January, it said initial investigations had determined that dumping was taking place, and implemented preliminary
Intel Corp yesterday reinforced its determination to strengthen its partnerships with Taiwan’s ecosystem partners including original-electronic-manufacturing (OEM) companies such as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) and chipmaker United Microelectronics Corp (UMC, 聯電). “Tonight marks a new beginning. We renew our new partnership with Taiwan ecosystem,” Intel new chief executive officer Tan Lip-bu (陳立武) said at a dinner with representatives from the company’s local partners, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the US chip giant’s presence in Taiwan. Tan took the reins at Intel six weeks ago aiming to reform the chipmaker and revive its past glory. This is the first time Tan
CUSTOMERS’ BURDEN: TSMC already has operations in the US and is a foundry, so any tariff increase would mostly affect US customers, not the company, the minister said Taiwanese manufacturers are “not afraid” of US tariffs, but are concerned about being affected more heavily than regional economic competitors Japan and South Korea, Minister of Economic Affairs J.W. Kuo (郭智輝) said. “Taiwan has many advantages that other countries do not have, the most notable of which is its semiconductor ecosystem,” Kuo said. The US “must rely on Taiwan” to boost its microchip manufacturing capacities, Kuo said in an interview ahead of his one-year anniversary in office tomorrow. Taiwan has submitted a position paper under Section 232 of the US Trade Expansion Act to explain the “complementary relationship” between Taiwan and the US
