Fitch Sees Uneven Impact on APAC Finance Firms, Developed Markets More Resilient

Fitch Ratings said non-bank financial institutions in Asia-Pacific face uneven but broadly manageable risks from an energy shock linked to the US-Iran war, with developed markets expected to show greater resilience than emerging peers.The agency noted that higher fuel prices, imported inflation, softer demand and tighter funding conditions would weigh on finance and leasing companies, particularly in emerging markets. It added that currency weakness could further raise inflation and constrain monetary easing.Fitch warned that Vietnam and Thailand are more vulnerable due to faster fuel price transmission, riskier unsecured lending in Vietnam, and Thailand's already weak economic backdrop. India and Indonesia may also see higher funding costs as currency depreciation and inflation expectations push up interest rates, Fitch said.In contrast, China's leasing and asset management firms are expected to remain relatively stable, supported by controlled risk appetite and policy backing, despite property sector weakness.Developed Asia finance companies are seen as more resilient due to deeper funding markets and AI-related growth support, although SME exposure remains a key risk in some markets such as Taiwan, the agency said.

These include "the Taiwan question."China regards self-governing Taiwan as its province. The U.S. recognizes the government in Beijing but its domestic law requires providing weapons to Taiwan so it could defend itself, the AFP said.

Market Chatter: Taiwan's CPC Readies to Get Crude Oil, Gas Supplies for Q4 Amid Middle East Tensions

CPC Corp, Taiwan is gearing up to secure crude oil and natural gas supplies for the fourth quarter, as tensions in the Middle East continue, Taipei Times reported Tuesday, citing Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-hsin.Taiwan's supply position remains comfortable, with crude oil reserves covering around 140 to 150 days and natural gas stocks about 12 days, slightly above the mandated safety level, Kung reportedly said in a Legislative Yuan's Economics Committee meeting.Most near-term procurement has already been locked in, with planning now shifting to later in the year, the report quoted Kung as saying.Middle East shipping disruptions have cut export flows but Taiwan has been largely protected by its diversified supply sources, especially imports from the U.S., CPC Chairman Fang Jeng-zen reportedly told the committee.The government is also supporting CPC with loans, subsidies, and planned capital injections to help offset rising fuel costs, the report said, citing the economic affairs minister.

New Solvency Regime Credit Positive for Taiwan's Life Insurers, S&P Says

The new Taiwan Insurance Solvency framework is credit positive for Taiwanese life insurers managing their asset-liability mismatch and interest rate, S&P Global Ratings said in a Tuesday release.The framework encourages life insurers to retain strong asset-liability management in terms of duration and cash flow, the rating agency said.Life insurers will keep narrower asset-liability mismatch under the new regime that reduces their interest rate shock exposure, credit analyst Patty Wang said.Tighter asset-liability management will lessen capital gain chances for some insurers, but the benefits from the new regime have better value compared to short-term gains, the analyst said.Taiwan's life insurers have also made stride to prevent unnecessary future risk on top of the 15-year transition period specified by the local regulator, S&P said.

Market Chatter: ADB to Trim ASEAN Growth Forecasts as US-Iran War Drags On

The Asian Development Bank's (ADB) previous "early stabilization" scenario is no longer valid amid continued war in the Middle East, The Star reported Tuesday, citing ADB chief economist Albert Park's address to reporters.This prompts a revision of the earlier outlook, he reportedly said, as the conflict has stretched beyond initial expectations. Under updated projections, regional growth is now seen slowing to 4.7% in 2026 and 4.8% in 2027, while inflation forecasts have also been revised higher to 5.2% this year.Park warned that energy markets remain under pressure, with gas prices up around 30% and diesel rising even more sharply, while fertilizer costs have surged, raising risks for food and industrial supply chains. He also cautioned that prolonged disruption could keep oil prices elevated, with scenarios showing averages near $96 per barrel in 2026 and even higher in worst-case conditions, the news outlet said.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

Taiwan's Manufacturing Activity Expands at Fastest Pace Since December 2021, S&P Global Says

Taiwan's manufacturing sector strengthened in April, with the S&P Global Taiwan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rising to 55.3, the highest level since December 2021.The PMI increased from 53.3 in March, signaling a fifth consecutive month of expansion and a sharper improvement in business conditions.The rise was driven by stronger output and new business, with firms citing higher demand as well as efforts to build inventories ahead of expected supply disruptions and price increases linked to the Middle East conflict."The war contributed to the greatest disruption to supply chains since the COVID-19 pandemic and a substantial rise in input costs at the start of Q2," said Annabel Fiddes, Economics Associate Director at S&P Global Market Intelligence.Taiwanese manufacturers reported a sharp increase in new orders, including export demand from the U.S., Europe, mainland China, Japan, and Southeast Asia, with stockpiling activity supporting growth.Purchasing activity rose at one of the fastest rates in nearly four-and-a-half years, although supplier delivery times lengthened at the quickest pace in just over four years, reflecting heightened supply chain strain.Input prices increased at one of the fastest rates since the survey began in 2004, driven by higher raw material and energy costs, while output charges rose at the steepest pace since late 2021 as firms passed on cost pressures."Expenses rose at one of the fastest rates since the survey began 22 years ago amid widespread reports of supplier price hikes, with rising oil prices a key driver of inflation. These higher costs were often passed on to clients, with selling prices also rising at a substantial pace," Fiddes added.Employment declined slightly as firms chose not to replace voluntary leavers, while backlogs of work increased at one of the quickest rates since late 2021.Business confidence remained positive but eased to a three-month low, with firms citing uncertainty linked to the Middle East conflict, according to S&P Global.The strength in manufacturing aligns with broader economic momentum, as Taiwan's gross domestic product expanded 13.7% year-on-year in the first quarter, driven by strong external demand tied to artificial intelligence, according to the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics.
