IPO in Taiwan

Download

Since 2008, the Taiwan government has strongly encouraged foreign firms and overseas Taiwanese-owned businesses to list locally on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or the Gre-Tai Securities Market through an initial public offering (IPO) or by issuing Taiwan depositary receipts (TDRs).

The IPO application process is clear and transparent, with a predictable timeline and outcome. Also, the authorities have relaxed restrictions on the qualifications of foreign issuers and the use of raised funds, which can now be remitted for investment in any offshore territory, including China.

PwC has produced an introductory booklet for interested applicants, which provides an overview of the IPO listing process and requirements and outlines the basic steps involved.
