Does First Financial Reform in Taiwan Improve the Performance of Focused Financial Firms?
Does First Financial Reform in Taiwan Improve the Performance of Focused Financial Firms? Chien-Ting Lin* Graduate Institute of Finance National Taiwan University of Science and Technology Taipei Taiwan & University of Adelaide Business School Adelaide SA Australia [email protected] Tel: +61-8-8303-6461 Fax: +61-8-8223-4782 Meng-Chun Kao Department of Finance Yuanpei University of Science and Technology Hsinchu Taiwan [email protected] Tel: +886-3-610-2367 Fax: +886-3-610-2366 *Corresponding author 1 Does First Financial Reform in Taiwan Improve the Performance of Focused Financial Firms? Abstract We examine the impact of first financial reform in Taiwan that removes the separation of commercial and investment banking activities on the performance of focused financial firms. Applying data envelopment analysis (DEA), we find that they fail to achieve efficiency gains in the post-reform era. In particular, commercial banks experience lower technical and pure technical efficiencies while insurance companies and securities firms also show little improvement in operating performance. Our findings suggest that the benefits of financial reforms on the diversified financial holding companies documented in recent studies do not extend to these smaller focused financial firms. The overall efficiency gains driven by the financial deregulation is therefore rather limited. As a result, further consolidations in the financial sector may continue as smaller focused financial firms find it difficult to compete against their larger and more efficient financial conglomerates. Keywords: Focused financial firms, Bank efficiency, First financial reform, Financial deregulation JEL classification: G21, G28 2 1. Introduction Following the global trend of financial liberalization for more than a decade, Taiwan introduced the Financial Institutions Merger Act in 2000 and Financial Holding Company Act in 2001 that removes the separation of commercial and investment banking activities imposed on its financial firms.

International Liquidity Shocks, the Real Economy, and Social Unrest: China, 1931-1935 Abstract What are the social consequences of liquidity shocks? We answer this question relying on a natural experiment from 1930s China, where the money supply contracted as a consequence of the 1933 US Silver Purchase program. Using a novel, hand-collected data set of loan contracts to individual Chinese firms and labor unrest, we find that the resulting bank liquidity shock led to a widespread, large credit contraction. We also find that firms borrowing from banks with a larger exposure to the monetary shock were more likely to experience labor unrest.

Figures released by Global Insight Inc. indicate that global economic performance nevertheless remained stable during the year, with the rate of economic growth reaching 3.8%--only marginally lower than the 3.9% recorded in 2006. Following its outbreak last August, the negative influence of the subprime housing loan crisis in the U.S. spread rapidly throughout the world and, despite the threat of inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered interest rates three times before the end of 2007, bringing the federal funds rate down from 5.25% to 4.25%, in an attempt to avoid a slowdown in economic growth and alleviate the credit crunch.

The Political Economy of Bank Privatization in Taiwan
台灣國際研究季刊第 4 卷第 2 期頁 109-48 2008 年/夏季號 Taiwan International Studies Quarterly, Vol. 4, No. 2, pp. 109-48 Summer 2008 The Political Economy of Bank Privatization in Taiwan Shih-hsien Sue Specialist, Intellectual Property Office, Ministry of Economic Affairs Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Public Administration Tamkang University, Tamsui, Taiwan Abstract There is a widespread perception that bank privatization promotes operating performance of public banks, and that subsequently this stimulates economic growth. Consequently, in the last two decades bank privatization has become a crucial component of financial reform. Followed the government announced financial liberalization as guidelines for Taiwan’s future economic development in 1984, bank privatization was adopted in 1989. However, the banking sector was not privatized until 1998. This article studies the promotion and implementation of bank privatization policy in Taiwan and its evolution over the last two decades. This attempts to explore why privatization agenda is adopted and why privatization is proved so difficult to implement. Also, the reasons for the sudden speeding up of bank privatization in the wake of the Asia crisis are explored.

CHINESE BANK's CREDIT RISK ASSESSMENT Doctor
CHINESE BANK’S CREDIT RISK ASSESSMENT A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Scottish Graduate Programme in Economics Department of Economics University of Stirling By YUAN MU MSc (SGPE, University of Edinburgh) BA (Peking University) May, 2007 Declaration In accordance with the Regulations for Higher Degrees by Research, I hereby declare that the whole thesis now submitted for the candidature of Doctor of Philosophy is a result of my own research and independent work except there reference is made to published literature. I also hereby certify that the work embodied in this thesis has not ready been submitted in any substance of any degree and is not being concurrently submitted in candidature for any degree from any other institute of higher leaning. I am responsible for any errors and omissions present in the thesis. Candidate: ________________________ Yuan Mu Abstract This thesis studies the Chinese banks’ credit risk assessment using the Post Keynesian approach. We argue that bank loans are the major financial sources in emerging economies and it is uncertainty, an unquantifiable risk, rather than asymmetric information about quantifiable risk, as held by the mainstream approach, which is most important for the risk attached to credit loans, and this uncertainty is particularly important in China. With the universal existence of uncertainty, borrowers and lenders have to make decisions based on convention and experience. With regard to the nature of decision-making, this implies the importance of qualitative methods rather than quantitative methods. The current striking problem in Chinese banking is the large amount of Non- Performing Loans (NPLs) and this research aims to address the NPLs through improving credit risk management.

TAIWAN Executive Summary
Underwritten by CASH AND TREASURY MANAGEMENT COUNTRY REPORT TAIWAN Executive Summary Banking The Taiwanese central bank is the Central Bank of the Republic of China (CBC). Bank supervision is performed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, which is also responsible for supervising insurance companies and securities firms. Taiwan applies central bank reporting requirements. These are managed by the CBC, according to the rules set out in Article 39 of the Central Bank of China Act. Resident entities are permitted to hold convertible foreign currency bank accounts domestically and outside Taiwan. Non-resident entities are permitted to hold convertible foreign currency bank accounts within Taiwan. They may also hold domestic currency accounts, such as time deposits, demand deposits and demand savings deposits. Taiwan has 40 domestic banks, 23 credit cooperatives and 37 off-shore banking units. There is a significant foreign banking presence in Taiwan – 27 foreign banks have established branches in Taiwan. Payments Taiwan’s four main interbank payment clearing systems are CIFS, FISC, the TCH and the ACH. There is also new foreign-currency clearing and settlement platform processing USD and RMB domestic and cross-strait payments and a USD interbank settlement system operated by a domestic bank. The most important cashless payment instruments in Taiwan are electronic credit transfers and, in terms of volume, payment cards. The increased use of electronic and internet banking has led to a growth in the use of electronic credit transfers and a general decline in check volumes. Credit card payments have increased rapidly in recent years, especially in the retail sector, due to their aggressive promotion by banks.

Taiwan's Looming Banking Crisis
Taiwan’s Looming Banking Crisis Heather Montgomery The Asian Development Bank Institute∗ 3-2-5 Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda-ku Tokyo 100-6008 Japan E-mail: [email protected] Tel: 81-3-3593-5524 Fax: 81-3-3593-4270 June 2002 Abstract In light of the recent decline in the health of Taiwan’s banking sector, this study applies the threshold indicators approach of Kaminsky and Reinhart (1999) to evaluate the likelihood of a banking crisis in Taiwan. 70% of Kaminsky and Reinhart’s indicators signal a banking crisis, even using only a 1 year window for indication. This percentage is close to that of Korea in late 1996, just before the Asian Crisis of 1997 hit, and is actually higher than that of Japan around the same time period, just before Japan’s banking crisis erupted in the Fall of 1997. It is unlikely that an economy such as Taiwan, with a flexible exchange rate regime and substantial foreign reserves, would face a balance of payments crisis of the type that hit Asia in 1997. However, an institutional analysis of the nature and causes of the weakness in Taiwan’s banking sector suggests that the economy seems very vulnerable to an internal banking crisis. The analytic and empirical results of this study indicate that Taiwan will soon be facing a banking crisis similar in type and scale to that faced in Japan in 1997-1998. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Codes: F31 Keywords: Early Warning, Banking Crisis, Taiwan. 1Introduction Is Taiwan headed for a banking crisis? The economy weathered the Asian financial crisis of 1997 remarkably well.
