dc.description.abstract | According to the Investment Review Committee of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, as of 2011, there were more than 40,000 Taiwanese companies in mainland China, with a total investment exceeding 14.376 billion US dollars. This can result in a significant impact on the Taiwanese international financial industry. In 2010, Taiwan-funded banks started to operate in the mainland. Since 2014, Taiwan-funded banks, in compliance with the laws and regulations in China, started to run Reminbi (RMB) business there. However, RMB capital depleted very quickly, it′s impossible to make something out of nothing, unless more RMB capital are pumped in. The RMB funding gap became an issue for every Taiwan-funded bank. The RMB funding gap had seriously impacted their development in the expanding market.
A report published by the Budget Center of the Legislative Yuan indicated that the abilities of the Taiwan-funded banks in China performed very poorly in local fund-raising. Apart from initial capital, they mostly relied on parent bank borrowing, where many of them borrow over 40% of the required funds.
Bank T ’s Chinese branch has been running a RMB business for less than a year, until it encountered difficulties in RMB funding gaps. Since its Chinese operation is based in Shanghai, it must comply with local supervision and requirements. Shanghai, being a financial hub for foreign banks, has the most stringent regulations in Chana. This study attempts to formulate a solution to tackle the problem under these conditions.
The core of the proposal is to file for a change in the proportion of RMB funds within the initial invested capital. The proposal was accepted, and initial implementation resulted in an increased RMB profit of about 53bps in 2019 compared with 2018. | en_US |
