Taiwan’s Central Bank decided to hold its key interest rates steady for the ninth consecutive time today, maintaining existing credit controls on the property market. Governor Yang Jin-long cited three primary factors influencing the decision: global economic uncertainty, moderate domestic inflation, and the need to observe the impact of previous policy adjustments. The bank indicated concerns about potential risks stemming from external economic headwinds and geopolitical tensions. Despite calls for easing, officials believe current rates adequately support economic growth without fueling excessive inflation. The existing restrictions on property lending will remain in place to prevent asset bubbles and maintain financial stability. The Central Bank will continue to closely monitor economic developments and adjust policy as needed.
