This surge has resulted in higher brokerage commissions and improved ROAA.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Benefits and Risks for Banks and Insurers<\/strong>: Banks are seeing growth in corporate foreign-currency loans, driving overall loan growth of 8 to 9 percent. Life insurers benefit from stronger premium income, though currency fluctuations remain a risk especially due to declining hedging ratios. Mortgage lending remains subdued due to property market caution.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Trouble for Leasing Companies<\/strong>: Leasing companies, particularly those serving small and medium-sized non-technology firms, face difficulties due to weak borrowing demand and excess capacity, resulting in low ROAA and elevated delinquency rates from China operations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taiwan\u2019s AI boom widens finance gap https:\/\/www.taipeitimes.com\/News\/biz\/archives\/2026\/07\/11\/2003860552 Publish Date: 2026-07-10 12:00:00 Source Domain: www.taipeitimes.com Here&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":242076,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/img.taipeitimes.com\/images\/2026\/07\/11\/P09-260711-602.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-242075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242075"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242075"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242075\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":242077,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242075\/revisions\/242077"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
