Land Bank of Taiwan
Building Sustainable Cities with Finance
As the only government-designated bank for real estate credit, Land Bank of Taiwan supports housing and land policies and national infrastructure development. To enhance safety and quality of life, the Bank provides Urban Renewal and Reconstruction Loans for unsafe and old buildings, aligned with government policy. Dedicated teams track local governments' progress and manage cases through its Urban Renewal Management System. By 2024, the Bank approved NTD$200 billion in urban renewal loans and NTD$75.8 billion for reconstruction—the highest among state-owned banks.
To promote green finance and ESG principles, the Bank launched its Green Finance for Construction Program in 2022. For loans related to green buildings, eco-friendly materials, energy-saving systems, and seismic safety—or for clients purchasing or renovating properties with Green Building Label (Silver level or higher) or Energy-Efficiency Label (Level 2 or above)—interest rate discounts are offered. These incentives encourage ESG adoption and public well-being.
By end of 2024, the Bank approved 236 green building loans totaling NTD$126.8 billion.
