Taiwan drafting sovereign wealth fund bill for year end

Taiwan is drafting legislation for a sovereign wealth fund with initial capital of about NT$30 billion (US$912 million), and the National Development Council aims to complete the draft bill by the end of this year.

Why it matters: A draft bill would be the first concrete legislative step for the fund President Lai Ching-te announced in May 2025, which has been under study since with no law, capital or leadership named.
