TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Overseas investors brought a net NT$47.8 billion (US$1.55 billion) into Taiwan in October, the Financial Supervisory Commission said Wednesday.

The October tally combines US$1.55 billion from foreign accounts and roughly US$10 million from Chinese capital, per CTEE.

Regulators said trading and capital flows do not always move in lockstep. In October, overseas investors were net sellers of listed and OTC shares by NT$71.759 billion, and the January–October total shows a cumulative net sell of NT$83.951 billion, yet funds still recorded a net inflow, per CNA.

FSC officials said structural demand tied to AI-related names and long-only allocations has helped keep cash onshore even during periods of profit-taking. It added that it will continue to monitor cross-border movements and liquidity while encouraging stable, long-term investment.
