Figures released by Global Insight Inc. indicate that global economic performance nevertheless remained stable during the year, with the rate of economic growth reaching 3.8%--only marginally lower than the 3.9% recorded in 2006. Following its outbreak last August, the negative influence of the subprime housing loan crisis in the U.S. spread rapidly throughout the world and, despite the threat of inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered interest rates three times before the end of 2007, bringing the federal funds rate down from 5.25% to 4.25%, in an attempt to avoid a slowdown in economic growth and alleviate the credit crunch. The European Central Bank, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada, and other countries also announced large infusions of capital and reductions of market interest rates to relieve the credit crisis. The sale by American financial institutions of subprime loans all over the world in the form of securitized products brought huge loses to investment institutions and the public in many countries, and the impact of the subprime issue is expected to continue in 2008. The ceaseless rise in international oil and raw materials prices may lead to a situation of slow growth and high prices—or so-called stagflation—which will increase the difficulty of monetary policy-making by central banks everywhere. Taiwan benefited from the stable growth of the global economy in 2007. According to figures compiled by the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, the island’s rate of economic growth increased to 5.7% last year, up from 4.89% in 2006. Taiwan’s import and export volumes both topped US$200 billion in 2007, for the second year in a row, reaching record highs of US$219.3 billion and US$246.7 billion, respectively. The trade surplus for the year was US$27.4 billion, up 28.4% over the 2006 figure. Beginning in June the island’s economic indicator light was mostly green, signifying stability, turning to yellow-red in September and October. With the exception of July and August, which were affected by seasonal factors, the unemployment rate stayed below 4% throughout the year. The consumer price index (CPI) was affected by rising vegetable, fruit, and international raw materials prices; it soared to 1.8% for the year, a major increase over the 0.6% recorded in 2006. The wholesale price index (WPI) was boosted by the continuing high prices of crude oil, metals, and bulk grains in the international market, and reached a three-year high of 6.45%. Whether the rise in the CPI will affect consumer confidence and 2 ANNUAL REPORT willingness to invest is an issue that bears watching. The Standard Chartered Bank raised the curtain on the acquisition of Taiwan banks by foreign investors by acquiring the Hsinchu International Bank in September 2006, and Citibank, ABN AMRO, and HSBC followed up by acquiring domestic banks in 2007. These acquisitions boosted the number of the Taiwan branches of the four foreign banks to 230, up from the original 27; this will increase the impact on, and challenge to, Taiwan’s domestic banks. The increased competitive impact will be felt especially severely in the wealth management business, which Taiwan banks see as a key area of development, and in the small and medium business market, in which local operators are seen as having the advantage. As the cash- and credit-card turbulence gradually subsides in Taiwan, the island’s banks are giving increased emphasis to the control of risk. The non-performing-loan (NPL) ratio of domestic banks remained at a low level in 2007, falling to 1.84% at the end of December. Affected by such factors as intense competition in the market and weak demand for capital, the spread between loan and deposit interest rates among domestic banks shrank to a historic low of 1.68% in the second quarter of the year. Then, thanks to repeated interest-rate hikes by the Central Bank and the implementation of a loan-pricing examination policy by the Financial Supervisory Commission, loan pricing developed in a more rational direction and the spread recovered to 1.74% in the fourth quarter. In addition, with all the banks devoting full efforts to the wealth-management business, the amount of funds under management reached NT$8.6 trillion at the end of November. This development helped to boost their profitability. In general, Taiwan’s domestic banks experienced a great improvement in return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) in 2007. The Taiwan Cooperative Bank, thanks to the use of its branch network and its advantage as a local operator, again created brilliant operating results for the year. Our pre-tax profit exceeded the NT$10.39 billion recorded in 2006 to reach NT$11.94 billion, giving us better profitability than major domestic financial holding companies. In 2008 Taiwan’s economy will be affected by the slowdown in global economic growth, which will be unfavorable to export performance, and will have to rely on warming domestic demand to support growth. Wealth management and loans to small and medium enterprises will remain the Bank’s core businesses. We will also follow the development of the offshore operations of Taiwanese companies by strengthening the deployment of our overseas business locations and expanding business opportunities as important strategies for boosting profit. In addition, we must pay close attention to the impact of the American subprime housing loan crisis, the implementation of the Consumer Insolvency Act, and trends in the domestic real estate market, and respond appropriately.

  • A Case of the Ict Industry in Taiwan K
    Australasian Journal of Regional Studies, Vol. 13, No. 3, 2007 325 THE IMPACT OF AGGLOMERATIVE INDUSTRIAL DYNAMIC EXTERNALITIES ON REGIONAL TECHNOLOGY GAPS: A CASE OF THE ICT INDUSTRY IN TAIWAN Ku-Hsieh (Michael) Chen Graduate Institute of Industrial Economics, Tamkang University, 151 Ying-Chuan Road, Tamsui 25137, Taipei County, TAIWAN. ABSTRACT: All other things being equal, questions arise as to whether the location of firms in distinct regions will result in variations in their technology capabilities, and what the nature of the local industrial environment is that determines regional technology gaps. This study investigates these issues from a perspective of industrial agglomerative dynamic externalities, examining the roles played by three influential assertions on regional technology gaps, namely, the Marshall-Arrow-Romer (MAR), Porter and Jacobs hypotheses. The results tend to favour the contention of Porter hypothesis on the contribution of the nature of local industrial agglomeration to the production technologies of information and computer technology (ICT) firms. 1. INTRODUCTION Over the past two decades, there has been some considerable resurgence in interest in the discussion of the phenomenon of industrial agglomeration. The attention of regional and industrial public policy has also been drawn to the successful development of so-called ‘new industrial districts’ or ‘industrial clusters’, such as the electronics industries in Silicon Valley in the US, the clothing industry in Northern Italy and the Hsin-chu Science-based Industrial Park in Taiwan. Theoretically, the agglomeration of firms would provide effects of external economic benefits. As the classic argument of Alfred Marshall (1920), the emergence and maintenance of agglomeration has at least three origins, comprising of the development of a local pool of specialized labour, the increased provision of local non-tradable specialized inputs, and the maximum flow of information and ideas (Krugman, 1991).

This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee The History and Politics of Taiwan’s February 28 Incident, 1947- 2008 by Yen-Kuang Kuo BA, National Taiwan Univeristy, Taiwan, 1991 BA, University of Victoria, 2007 MA, University of Victoria, 2009 Supervisory Committee Dr. Zhongping Chen, Supervisor Department of History Dr. Gregory Blue, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. John Price, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. Andrew Marton, Outside Member Department of Pacific and Asian Studies iii Abstract Taiwan’s February 28 Incident happened in 1947 as a set of popular protests against the postwar policies of the Nationalist Party, and it then sparked militant actions and political struggles of Taiwanese but ended with military suppression and political persecution by the Nanjing government. The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.

  • The Currency Conversion in Postwar Taiwan: Gold Standard from 1949 to 1950 Shih-Hui Li1
    The Kyoto Economic Review 74(2): 191–203 (December 2005) The Currency Conversion in Postwar Taiwan: Gold Standard from 1949 to 1950 Shih-hui Li1 1Graduate School of Economics, Kyoto University. E-mail: [email protected] The discourses on Taiwanese successful currency reform in postwar period usually put emphasis on the actors of the U.S. economic aids. However, the objective of this research is to re-examine Taiwanese currency reform experiences from the vantage- point of the gold standard during 1949–50. When Kuomintang (KMT) government decided to undertake the currency conversion on June 15, 1949, it was unaided.
