Financial Inclusion × Fraud Prevention × Digital Innovation: TWSE’s Efforts in Advancing Financial Literacy

By: The WFE Focus Team Oct 2025

Strengthening Financial Literacy: Building a Solid Market Foundation

As the core platform of Taiwan’s capital market, the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) has long viewed enhancing investors’ financial literacy as a cornerstone of market stability and sustainable growth. With an ever-changing investment environment, the TWSE is dedicated to investor education – helping investors build sound investment concepts and risk awareness. These efforts reflect the core values of financial inclusion and investor education, aligning with the global trend that emphasises education as a more fundamental safeguard than protection, thereby strengthening the resilience of Taiwan’s capital market.

Bringing Education to the Public: Promoting Financial Inclusion Through Physical Engagement

Given the growing popularity of ETFs among investors, the TWSE will host the Taiwan Weeks ETF Investment Expo from 17–19 October 2025. Featuring themed zones, hands-on experiences, and expert seminars, the event will provide accessible learning opportunities for the public to better understand ETFs. By fostering a friendly, engaging environment, the Expo aims to strengthen participants’ investment knowledge and application skills, advancing financial inclusion and bringing financial education into daily life.

From Fraud Awareness to Prevention: Strengthening Investment Safety Through Education

While promoting investment knowledge, the TWSE also prioritises investment safety as essential to market participation. The 5D’onts Anti-Fraud Campaign uses creative songs to raise young people’s awareness of fraud tactics, while age-based investor education curricula for high school students incorporate real-life scenarios to build risk recognition skills. The TWSE has also produced educational comics on securities knowledge to simplify complex concepts. These materials enhance market understanding while embedding anti-fraud awareness, helping investors develop fraud-detection skills and safeguard their assets.

Empowering Investors Through Digital Innovation: Upgrading Digital Platforms

In response to digital transformation, the TWSE has upgraded the ESG InfoHub, Investment InfoHub 2.0 and ETFortune platforms, integrating ESG, market and ETF information to provide one-stop access to key data and analysis tools. These platforms make it easier for investors to obtain essential market insights, strengthen decision-making capabilities, and support the TWSE’s goal of advancing investor education through digital innovation, making financial knowledge more efficient to deliver and more accessible to the public.

Collaborating Globally to Promote Investor Education

Looking ahead, the TWSE will continue to promote investor education – from schools to broader society – to raise financial literacy and support the healthy development of Taiwan’s capital market with diverse educational resources. At the same time, the TWSE will actively engage with international bodies such as the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) to share Taiwan’s multi-faceted experience. The goal is to enhance the global visibility of Taiwan’s capital market and showcase the TWSE’s sustained efforts in investor education. Through experience sharing, the TWSE also seeks to foster international collaboration to promote financial literacy worldwide.
