The government has launched the Trillion NT Dollar Investment National Development Plan (2025-2028) to attract private funding from both domestic and foreign investors into Taiwan's public infrastructure and industrial development. Through innovative partnership models that combine private sector commitments with government support, the plan will direct trillions in capital investment into Taiwan. This will alleviate the government's fiscal burden, provide the private sector with high-quality investment opportunities, and reduce the hedging costs associated with businesses' overseas investments, thereby injecting momentum into Taiwan's economic development and creating a win-win outcome for both the government and private sector.
Main strategies
■ Innovative mechanisms to advance public-private partnerships (PPP): During the planning stage for new public infrastructure programs, ministries and agencies will first assess the programs for PPP feasibility while gathering a broad range of PPP proposals, thereby expanding program opportunities from the outset. In addition, Cabinet-level project meetings have been established to provide a platform to facilitate PPP implementation and solve regulatory issues, thus increasing the private sector's willingness to invest on a larger scale in public infrastructure.
■ Improved financing and investment conditions for public construction: The plan aims to reduce the risk factor for insurance companies' 100% investments in public infrastructure through domestic private equity (PE) funds and venture capital (VC) enterprises. It also identifies strategic industries closely linked to public construction (such as offshore wind power, AI data centers, etc.) to enable the application of a higher investment ceiling for the insurance industry, while also raising financing guarantee ratios under the national financing guarantee mechanism. These measures will help reduce private investment management costs and enhance capital utilization efficiency.
■ Expanded financial products related to public construction: Through diverse financial product strategies such as promoting fund-structured real estate investment trusts (REITs), expanding the issuance of sustainable development bonds, and securitizing public construction projects, the plan will reduce the government's financing costs for public infrastructure while also offering high-quality financial products for private sector investors.
