APB debuts Taipei Global Wealth Summit amid AI-driven wealth surge

Opening ceremony of Taipei Global Wealth Summit — Taipei, 28 April 2026

Asian Private Banker held the inaugural Taipei Global Wealth Summit this Tuesday, drawing more than 500 delegates for a day of high-level discussions on Taiwan’s fast-evolving financial landscape.

In its inaugural edition, the summit comes at a time when Taiwan’s wealth management sector is undergoing a strategic transformation, supported by a wave of government reforms.

It also coincides with a surge in wealth creation. Latest regulatory data show that the number of high net worth individuals (with assets of NT$100 million or more) rose to 23,206 by the end of March 2026, up 70% year-on-year.

The summit also examined how Taiwan’s policy push can further strengthen its financial ecosystem, and how private banks can draw on regional best practices while navigating structural challenges.
