Beginning of Industrialization in 1950s
• Rice and sugar cane had been major products during Japanese rule for 1895-1945.
• KMT confiscated all industries formerly held by Japanese.
• Land reform program redistributed land among small farmers and compensated large landowners with commodities cer-tificates and stock in state-owned indus-tries.

Private-Led Industrialization
• Who would lead industrialization? Public enterprises? Or private entrepreneurs?
• KMT decided private-led industrialization.• Some large landowners turned their com-
pensation into capital to become first generation of industrial entrepreneurs.
• Refugee businessmen from the mainland joined them to transform Taiwan from an agrarian to an industrial economy.

But Strong State Initiatives
• Fiscal policy : awarded tax-tariff ben-efit on industrial activities complying national plans.
• Foreign exchange control to address foreign exchange gap.
• State-owned bank system imposed low interest rate with credit rationing (investment savings gap).

US Aid
• The United States resumed aid as much as $4 billion, accounting for 5 percent of GNP, to Taiwan during the Korean War, enabling Taiwan to in-vest in infrastructure.
• Agricultural production increased by 14 percent and provided much of the investment capital and labor needed for later industrialization.

Import Substitution
• The first four-year economic devel-opment plan (1953–56) : reconstruc-tion, hydro-electric power, increased production of rice, fertilizers.
• In The second four-year plan (1957–60) encouraged import substitution industries.
![Page 13: Taiwan. Content Taiwan in 2010 Import Substitution in 1950s Export Promotion in 1960s Toward High-techs SMEs-Driven Taiwan Credit Rationing Foreign and.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a75199/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Export Promotion Begins
• The third four-year plan (1961–64) : labor-intensive export industries, en-ergy development, agricultural growth, and exploration and development of the island's limited natural resources.
• US loans and grants, totaling $2.2 bil-lion, and foreign direct investment fi-nanced these early stages of devel-opment.

FDIs
• FDIs in Taiwan helped not only to fi-nance industrialization but also to in-troduce modern, labor-intensive technology, and Taiwan became a major exporter of labor-intensive products.
• Most FDIs were made by overseas Chinese and some Japanese.
![Page 15: Taiwan. Content Taiwan in 2010 Import Substitution in 1950s Export Promotion in 1960s Toward High-techs SMEs-Driven Taiwan Credit Rationing Foreign and.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a75199/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Frustration on Heavy and Chemical Industries in 1970s
• By 1971, exports of manufactured goods recorded a spectacular increases, and Taiwan's trade accounts changed from chronic deficit to stable surplus.
• Attempt to redirect from labor-intensive industries to capital-intensive ones such as shipbuilding, and petrochemicals.
• The worldwide recession hit adversely.
![Page 16: Taiwan. Content Taiwan in 2010 Import Substitution in 1950s Export Promotion in 1960s Toward High-techs SMEs-Driven Taiwan Credit Rationing Foreign and.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a75199/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Toward High-Tech in 1980s
• Focus shifted toward sophisticated, capital- and technology-intensive products such as computers, robotics, and bioengineering for export and to develop the service sector.
• The appreciation of the Taiwan dollar, rising labor costs, and increasing environmental consciousness in Taiwan kicked out many labor-intensive industries, such as shoe manufacturing, to China and Southeast Asia.
![Page 17: Taiwan. Content Taiwan in 2010 Import Substitution in 1950s Export Promotion in 1960s Toward High-techs SMEs-Driven Taiwan Credit Rationing Foreign and.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a75199/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1990s
• "Statute for Upgrading Industries“ was legislated in early 1991 to pro-vide incentives for private invest-ment in R&D and high-technology sectors.
• Focus in the late 1990s concentrated on expanded privatization of state enterprises, and opening of the Tai-wan market to foreigners.

SME Driven Economy
• In 1985, small and medium enter-prises (those with fewer than 300 employees) contributed about 50% of value added,
• and employed 62% of the workforce,• and produced 65% of total export
value.

Productivity of Taiwanese SMEs
• Levels and growth of productivity are positively correlated with firm size. Why?
- Self selection of more efficient producers that survive over time
- Larger firms enjoy better access to more re-sources, better techniques.
• In Taiwan, superior micro and small firms have grown up to medium sized firms with higher productivity.
• It was the process of survival and growth rather than the absolute size.

Credit Rationing and Informal Credit Market
• Banking system had been mostly government owned until 1989.
• Credits had been rationed mainly to public enterprises and large-scale private enterprises in export-oriented industries.
• Bank credits came as additional and concessionary to most SMEs.
![Page 21: Taiwan. Content Taiwan in 2010 Import Substitution in 1950s Export Promotion in 1960s Toward High-techs SMEs-Driven Taiwan Credit Rationing Foreign and.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a75199/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Informal Credit Markets
• Productivity, profitability, and growth potential of industries had little effect on credit rationing decisions.
• Productive SMEs attained credit from informal markets.
• Credit from informal market was es-timated about 30-60% of total loans.
![Page 22: Taiwan. Content Taiwan in 2010 Import Substitution in 1950s Export Promotion in 1960s Toward High-techs SMEs-Driven Taiwan Credit Rationing Foreign and.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a75199/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Foreign Trade
• Foreign trade has been the engine of Taiwan's rapid growth during the past 50 years.
• The total value of trade increased more than 200-fold in past 50 years.
• Export composition changed from agri-cultural commodities to industrial goods (now 98%). Taiwan is the world's largest supplier of computer monitors and PCs.

Continued
• Imports of raw materials and capital goods account for more than 90% of the total.
• The mainland China supplanted the US as Taiwan's largest trade partner in 2003.
• In 2010, China (including Hong Kong) ac-counted for over 29.0% of Taiwan's total trade and 41.8% of Taiwan's exports. Japan was Taiwan's second-largest trading partner with 13.3% of total trade, includ-ing 20.7% of Taiwan's imports.

Cross-Strait Trade
• In February 2002, Taiwan formally permitted direct cross-Strait trade.
• Cross-Strait trade has grown rapidly over the past 10 years. China is Taiwan's largest trad-ing partner, and Taiwan is China's seventh-largest.
• Estimates of Taiwan investment on the main-land, range from $150 billion to over $300 billion, making Taiwan and Hong Kong by some measures the two largest investors in the P.R.C.
![Page 25: Taiwan. Content Taiwan in 2010 Import Substitution in 1950s Export Promotion in 1960s Toward High-techs SMEs-Driven Taiwan Credit Rationing Foreign and.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d8d5503460f94a75199/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
continued
• On June 29, 2010, following 6 months of negotiations, Taiwan and the P.R.C. signed the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA), aimed at bringing about liberalization of cross-Strait trade in products and services, and eventually creating an essentially free-trade regime.
