TAIPEI: Taiwanese investors are reassessing their long-held preference for US-dollar assets, shifting their bets to Europe in the latest move by global investors away from the greenback.

Over the first half of 2025, Taiwanese investors have also poured 14.1 billion New Taiwan dollars into Europe-focused funds based overseas, according to data from the Securities Investment Trust and Consulting Association (Sitca).
