Bond market: funding opportunities for foreign issuers

Article Abstract:

The Taiwanese bond market provides a low-cost source of capital for foreign corporate issuers. The lower costs of the Taiwanese bond market are the result of economic fundamentals such as low inflation and low interest rates; the market's structure and demand, including competition among underwriters; and the government deregulation of supranational bonds.
