台资银行有望加快在大陆扩张步伐

Banking regulators in China and Taiwan had their first-ever meeting on cross-strait regulatory issues, and analysts expect the result to be faster China expansion for Taiwan banks─in particular, rules allowing a Taiwanese bank to set up a subsidiary one year after opening up a branch and to conduct yuan business immediately after setting up a subsidiary.

中国大陆与台湾的银行业监管机构首次就两岸监管事宜进行了磋商，分析人士预计台资银行在大陆的扩张步伐会加快，特别是考虑到有关当局出台规定，允许台资银行在大陆设立分支机构一年后成立子公司，而子公司成立后即可经营人民币业务。

But the firm adds that banks may cut dividend payouts to conserve capital for their China expansion. Goldman Sachs says Fubon Financial and Chinatrust will likely secure more sizable deals in China given their strong capital position and relatively longer history on the mainland.
