Taiwan Stock Market Performance Outpaces Japan and South Korea on AI Boom

Taiwan stock market performance has outpaced Japan and South Korea over the past four years as an artificial intelligence hardware boom lifted the island’s tech-heavy economy, Taiwan’s central bank said.

The Taiwan stock market performance saw the TAIEX index rise about 120% from a 2022 low to 27,867 by mid-December, beating gains in Japan’s Nikkei 225 and South Korea’s KOSPI.

Strong AI chip exports, ample global liquidity and Taiwan’s dominance in AI server assembly have supported valuations, though supply-chain risks remain.
