The total Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) and TPEx-listed securities borrowing and lending balance stands at TWD 430.2 billion.
This is made up of the TWSE’s competitive bid transactions worth TWD 11.8 billion and negotiated transactions worth TWD 373.2 billion.
Brokers’ contributions make up the remaining TWD 45.2 billion.
The disclosure of Taiwan’s securities lending market figures comes as part of the exchange’s transparency initiative. It claimed to be the most transparent market in the world.
As evidence, the exchange pointed to that fact that, during trading hours, the fixed-rate transaction and competitive bid transaction order books, as well as the daily securities borrowing and lending quota consumption, are all publicly disclosed.
Additionally, after transactions hours, each securities lending rate, the balance of the short sale securities, and the balance of borrowed securities, are all disclosed, as reference for investors when making investment decisions.
