- On May 25, 2026, Taiwan achieved the milestone of becoming the world's fifth-largest stock market, surpassing India in the global rankings.
- The total market capitalization of Taiwan's stock market reached approximately US$4.95 trillion, while India's total market value stood at around US$4.92 trillion.
- A key factor attributed to this progress by Taiwan is the sharp surge in the shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.
