The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) yesterday opened 426 financial data sets on schedule ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday as the financial regulator aims to assist investors, academics and lenders to better manage their investments.
Earlier this month, the commission announced it would publish 631 or more financial data sets by the end of next month, up from 83, under the regulations of the Personal Information Protection Act (個人資料保護法).
The 426 data sets unveiled to the public yesterday include information related to stocks, bonds, bills, offshore funds, futures trust funds and offshore structured products, the commission said in a statement yesterday.
“Investors can use these data sets to help them manage their investment strategies,” the commission said.
The commission has also unveiled various data sets analyzing credit card fraud to help lower risks in the industry and build up a safer transaction environment, the statement added.
After the rest of the 631 data sets are released by May 31, the commission might further discuss with its 16 affiliated institutions the possibility of publishing more data in the near future, taking into consideration public demand and opinions shared by industry experts, it said.
The commission’s affiliated institutions include Central Deposit Insurance Corp (中央存款保險), Joint Credit Information Center (財團法人金融聯合徵信中心), Taiwan Stock Exchange Corp (TWSE, 台灣證券交易所) and others, which between them control vast amounts of financial data.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s (TSMC, 台積電) revenue jumped 48 percent last month, underscoring how electronics firms scrambled to acquire essential components before global tariffs took effect. The main chipmaker for Apple Inc and Nvidia Corp reported monthly sales of NT$349.6 billion (US$11.6 billion). That compares with the average analysts’ estimate for a 38 percent rise in second-quarter revenue. US President Donald Trump’s trade war is prompting economists to retool GDP forecasts worldwide, casting doubt over the outlook for everything from iPhone demand to computing and datacenter construction.

Alchip Technologies Ltd (世芯), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designer specializing in server chips, expects revenue to decline this year due to sagging demand for 5-nanometer artificial intelligence (AI) chips from a North America-based major customer, a company executive said yesterday.
