In 1990 the Government Information Office, the agency responsible for overseeing the film industry, began offering grants, which were worth a total of NT $ 30 million that first year. Gradual budget increases brought that figure to NT $ 120 million by 1998.
電影業主管機關新聞局也從一九九○年開始編列預算，自最初的一年三千萬元、補助十部影片，逐步增加到九八年的一億二千萬元。
