In order to enhance the competitive capability, the government has speeded up the pace of financial reformation among institutions by possessing the privatization of state-owned financial institutions, by encouraging the financial merging and by loosening its regulatory grip over the operation of financial institutions. With a careful examination of the situation, the Ministry of Finance had announced the merger of Bank of Taiwan along with Land Bank of Taiwan, and Central Trust of China on Dec. 29, 1999.
Mainly, the frame of this thesis is composed of three sections.
