Changes to business models and consumer behavior, prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, have compressed many years’ worth of transformation and digitization into the space of several months.

  • Annual Report 2020 Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan)
    Annual Report 2020 Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) Taipei, Taiwan Republic of China Foreword Chin-Long Yang, Governor Looking back on 2020, it started with an outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19 that quickly spread out and wreaked havoc on the global economy and world trade. Hampered by the resulting demand weakness both at home and abroad, Taiwan's economic growth slowed to 0.35% in the second quarter, the lowest since the second quarter of 2016. However, the pace picked up further and further in the latter half of the year amid economic reopening overseas and the introduction of consumption stimulus policies domestically. The annual growth rate of GDP reached 5.09% in the fourth quarter, the highest since the second quarter of 2011. For the year as a whole, the economy expanded by 3.11%, also higher than the past two years. Similarly, domestic inflation was affected by the pandemic as softer international demand for raw materials dragged down energy prices and hospitality services (such as travel and hotels) launched promotional price cuts. The annual growth rate of CPI dropped to -0.23%, the lowest since 2016, while that of the core CPI (excluding fruit, vegetables, and energy) fell to 0.35%, a record low unseen for more than a decade. Faced with the unusual challenges posed by pandemic-induced impacts on the economy and the labor market, the Bank reduced the policy rates by 25 basis points and rolled out a special accommodation facility worth NT$200 billion to help SMEs obtain funding in March, followed by an expansion of the facility to NT$300 billion in September.
