Securities and Futures Bureau Director Sam Chang speaks at the 2020 Taiwan Capital Market Forum in Taipei on Friday. Some overseas pension funds even follow an investment strategy that sets a minimum exposure to social bonds, he added. “Given that social bonds and sustainability bonds are popular overseas, Taiwan’s bond market is likely to continue advancing after these instruments are included,” he said. It expects to see companies issue Taiwan’s first sustainability bonds or social bonds by the end of this year, Chang said. The commission should unveil a development roadmap for the local capital market so investors could clearly see what it envisions, he said.
