On July 1, 2024, National banks accelerated their loans to six core strategic industries, with loan balances reaching NT$7.52 trillion by the end of May, an increase of NT$286.2 billion since the beginning of the year, surpassing 81.78% of the third-phase growth target of NT$350 billion. The top three industries receiving the most new loans are civilian and national defense industries, cybersecurity industries, and national defense and strategic industries, with the top five increased loaners being state-owned banks like Bank of Taiwan, Land Bank of Taiwan, Hua Nan Commercial Bank, First Bank, and Mega International Commercial Bank. The increase in loans is attributed to factors such as the government's energy transition policy and the demand for artificial intelligence and high-speed computing equipment.
