President Lai Ching-te says Taiwan is the logical location for Asia's version
of Nasdaq ... given its comprehensive AI ecosystem and status as a technology
powerhouse.

Speaking in an interview broadcast by TTV and (台視) and Feifan TV (非凡電視), Lai
said Taiwan hopes to become a global hub for technology investment and
capital.

To achieve that, Taipei Times reports that Lai said Taiwan needs to adopt
more flexible and innovation-friendly stock-listing rules.

He said his administration has already taken steps to make this so --
relaxing more than 52 rules and regulations over the past two years. This
includes broadening investor eligibility for trading on the main board and
allowing odd-lot trading, margin financing and day trading.

Lai said that Taiwan has better potential to earn the title of 'Asia's
Nasdaq' than South Korea, Japan, Singapore, China or Hong Kong, as it
possesses the world's most complete AI supply chain.
