Global index provider MSCI has raised Taiwan's weighting in three major indexes for the third consecutive quarter, reflecting the strong performance of the local stock market.
MSCI says Taiwan's weighting in its Emerging Markets Index has increased from 28.86 to 29.01 percent.
Its share of the All-Country World Index and the Asia ex-Japan Index has also edged higher.
Analysts attribute the changes to strong demand for Taiwanese technology stocks amid the global artificial intelligence boom.
The benchmark TAIEX has risen more than 50 percent since the start of this year.
MSCI has also added three Taiwanese companies - Kinsus Interconnect Technology, Nan Ya Printed Circuit Board and Taiwan Union Technology - to its Global Standard Indexes.
The latest changes will take effect after the market closes on November 30th.
