With the signing of the memorandum of understanding on cross-strait financial supervision on November 16, 2009, Taiwan’s banks will be able to smoothly set up operation in mainland China. For Taiwanese businesses operating in the mainland, the presence of Taiwanese banks there can be regarded as providing another option for fund procurement. But though this should be able to improve the difficulties experienced by Taiwanese businesses in raising funds in the mainland, those businesses will still need to enhance their own credit worthiness and the quality of their collateral security. Since Taiwanese banks will lag behind other well-known foreign banks in the timing and scale of their entry to the mainland, their business operation is likely to be restricted at the outset, and their prospects will not be too rosy. The interest spread in the mainland is high, and developing a new market to serve Taiwanese businesses will be the banks’ best opportunity for creating profit. In terms of strategy, they must first consider their own business strengths and possible future customer, business and expansion opportunities, and assess their operating strengths and weaknesses, capital and risks, as the basis for mapping out clear stage-by-stage development strategies. Then they must decide whether to enter the mainland by means of setting up branches or sub-branches, or investing in local banks. |
