Taiwan Business Bank Co., Ltd. 2020 Business Report

In 2020, the global economic performance was deeply affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. At the end of 2019, a severe outbreak of COVID-19 occurred in Mainland China. In March 2020, the epidemic spread from Asia to Europe and the U.S.; countries across the world implemented lockdown measures to contain the spread of the epidemic, resulting in an immediate halt of the global economy and transportations. The supply and demand of crude oil experienced serious imbalances in the international market, which led to a sharp drop in its price on an ongoing basis, and triggered substantial fluctuation in the global financial market. The Lockdown measures implemented by countries to contain the spread of the outbreak materially affected the performance of the transportation industry, tourism service industry, and import/outport business. Fortunately, countries rolled out corporate and personal burden alleviation measures and easing monetary policies to slow down the panic sentiments in the financial market and mitigate liquidity risks.

On March 3 and 15, 2020, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) significantly cut down the Federal Funds Rate by 150 basis points, returning to the zero-interest rate policy that has been ceased since the financial crisis in 2008. In March 2020, the U.S. stock market experienced setbacks due to the panicking sentiments of investors resulted from the outbreak, triggering constant circuit breakers. The Fed upgraded the quantitative easing (QE) program of US$700 billion just implemented to an unprecedented limitless QE in a short period of time, and initially include investment-grade corporate bonds and investment-grade listed ETF into the scope of purchases. Central banks in Europe and Japan soon followed up on canceling their QE policies with purchase ceilings. In the meantime, the People's Bank of China adopted the targeted Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) cuts in response, the central banks and governments of major and emerging countries across the world adopted easing policies one after another and rolled out various burden alleviation programs shortly to maintain the drivers for the economy and employment, and stabilize the confidence of corporates and citizens.

As countries maintain their easing monetary policies, Central Bank in Taiwan also had an interest cut of 25 basis points in March, with a rediscount rate at 1.125%. With respect to the currency rates, the U.S. monetary easing policy weakened U.S. Dollars (USD), coupled with the repatriated funds from the Taiwanese businesses, the currency rate of New Taiwan Dollars (NTD) against USD appreciated from NT$30.114 at the beginning of 2020 to NT$28.508 at the end of 2020. In aggregate, the currency rate appreciation amounted to NT$1.606 for NTD throughout 2020, representing an increase of 5.63%.

Under the impacts of COVID-19 and the trade war between the U.S. and the PRC, multinational enterprises reduced the production ratio in the PRC or moved production bases out of the PRC. Taiwan possesses comparative advantage to other countries in manufacturing technology and has relatively better control for the

  • 6 -

epidemic. It, therefore, become a stronghold for Taiwanese businesses and multinational enterprises when making such transfers, contributing to the domestically economic performance.

According to the figure marked up by the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS), the economic growth rate in Taiwan was 2.54% for 2020, and it is estimated that the economic growth rate in Taiwan for 2021 will increase to 3.83%. According to the forecast made by the DGBAS, the economic performance in 2021 will surpass that of 2020. According to ITRI's IEKCQM, it is estimated that the output value of the manufacturing industry in Taiwan will reach NT$19.68 trillion in 2021 with an output value growth of 4.75%.

As the Fed implied that mark-up of the interest rate would not occur by 2023, the probability of interest rate increase by the Central Bank of Taiwan is low with the backdrop that the probability of interest rate increase by Fed of the U.S. is low. As the interest rate in Taiwan is at the low range historically, the probability of interest rate decrease is low, unless another global trend of interest rate decrease occurred. Therefore, it is estimated that bank interest rate differential for banks funded by the government is unlikely to experience further significant shrinkage and the impacts arising from the shrinking interest rate differential will also decline. Regarding the exchange rate performance, with the continuous weakening of USD, the exchange rate for NTD against USD is maintained at approximately USD 1: NTD 28, which may become the new norm as indicated by the Central Bank.

The return trend of Taiwanese businesses created demands for investments, capital utilization, and plant establishment, which benefit the potential opportunities for financing, loans, and wealth management businesses of the banking industry. Suppliers turn to Southeast Asia for establishing their production capacity also brought chances for banks in Taiwan to promote overseas businesses, including margin purchase businesses such as wealth management planning, plant establishing and land purchase, and equipment investment. It is estimated that such conditions will contribute to the business volume of banks in Taiwan regarding deposits, loans, and wealth management in 2021.

In terms of industry development trends, the isolation policy in response to COVID-19 materially minimized the chances of consumers entering real outlets, generating significant impacts on the retail service industry. Transaction models and operating methods of merchants may be significantly changed due to the safe distance. The low-contact payment model will become the key innovative development for the financial service models after the outbreak. In 2021, it is expected that there will be more banks continue to optimize their mobile banking service platform and increase the cross-field operations with different industries to build scenario finance, create the financial ecosystem, and put focus on the non-high-end asset customer groups that received minor services in the past, so as to expand their businesses to general citizens and bring new business opportunities for the banking industry. In terms of internal management, to develop new financial services, the banking industry has strengthened their online credit investigation/loan

  • 7 -

supervision, legal compliance, risk management, performance management techniques, while considering the rise of sustainable finance in the aftermath of the pandemic, the banking industry has also increasingly placed emphasis on climate change and natural disasters, systemic risks of plague, and financial disclosures.

In the future, the Bank will continue to develop the loan supervision optimization program by carrying through the internal controls using three lines of defense and strengthening the overall risk control and reinforce FinTech development as well as information security controls. Furthermore, from the perspective of a professional financial institution, the Bank will grasp the business opportunities upon the return of Taiwanese businesses and proactively assist the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in transformation and second-generation inheritance in accordance with government policies. Meanwhile, the Bank will provide financial products and services integrated with environmental protection and social welfare that correspond to social requirements, proactively strengthening and assisting in the sustainable growth of Taiwanese SMEs, thus fulfilling its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The Bank will endeavor to turn the Bank into a leading brand in the field of SME financing and establish a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the Bank upon stepping into the next century
