    Annual Report 2009 Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) Taipei, Taiwan The Republic of China Foreword Fai-nan Perng, Governor The worldwide recession continued to affect Taiwan's economy during the first half of 2009. During the second half of the year, the turnaround in the U.S. and Europe, coupled with the local government's stimulus package, gradually lifted Taiwan's external trade, private consumption and investment. Economic growth resumed in the fourth quarter but remained at negative 1.87 percent for the year as a whole. The annual unemployment rate also rose to 5.85 percent. Meanwhile, weak domestic demand, on top of falling international commodity prices, led consumer prices to decline by 0.87 percent for the year, a relatively stable level among major countries. To boost domestic demand, the Bank twice lowered policy rates during the first two months of 2009, as part of the rate cut cycle that began in September 2008. A total of 237.5 basis points were slashed on seven occasions during the cycle. Lower interest rates helped reduce the funding costs of individuals and enterprises and encourage private consumption and investment. In addition, the Bank engaged in open market operations to keep reserve money and the interbank call-loan rate at accommodative levels. It also helped enhance the capacity of the Small and Medium Enterprise Credit Guarantee Fund to meet funding demands of SMEs. These measures helped create an environment conducive to economic recovery. Bolstered by monetary easing actions, and net foreign capital inflows in the second half of the year, M2 grew by 7.21 percent in 2009, breaching the upper limit of the Bank's 2.5 percent to 6.5 percent target zone.

  • 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.

The main purpose of the research is to investigate the bilateral contact in the early Tokugawa, the evolution of the copper trade, the political events involved with the trade, and to reexamine the significance of sakoku (seclusion) policy of Japan from a Chinese perspective. This thesis first explores the efforts of the shogunate from 1600 to 1625 towards reopening the kango or tally trade with China which had been suspended in the previous Muromachi period.

F: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 A Silver Transformation: Chinese Monetary Integration in Times of Political Disintegration during 1898–1933* Debin Ma and Liuyan Zhao JEL Classification: E42, F15, N25 Key Words: Silver standard, Silver Point Arbitrage, Market Integration Abstract: This paper provides the first systematic econometric study on the evolution of Chinese silver exchange and monetary regimes during 1898–1933. Using high quality data sets of monthly and daily prices of silver dollars, we apply the threshold autoregressive models to estimate the silver points between Shanghai and other seventeen cities in Northern and Central China. We find a dramatic improvement in monetary integration from the 1910s, consolidated throughout the 1920s and 1930s to rival the global standard. We supplement our analysis with new data sets on volumes and costs of silver flows and with an in-depth historical narrative. Our paper revaluates the efficiency of the silver regime and China’s economic performance in the Republican era. 1. Introduction Whether the 1842 Sino-British Opium War and the forced opening of Qing China to Western imperialism and global trade marked the beginning of a century of Chinese humiliation or era of awakening to modernity may be a matter of perspectives. But the era of 1898–1933, covered in this study, saw China’s best and worst of times, straddling several sub-periods of a tumultuous era in modern Chinese history.

  • Shanghai's Wartime Emergency Money
    SHANGHAI'S WARTIME EMERGENCY MONEY John E. Sandrock This is the story of a little known aspect of China's wartime history and an oft neglected area of numismatics. The setting for our tale is the city of Shanghai and the time 1939. Dire things are about to happen, but before we can fully appreciate and understand them, a refresher course in Chinese currency might prove useful. For centuries the currency of China had consisted of a jumble of bank notes and coins issued by every conceivable authority - government, provincial and private. Most issues circulated only within limited areas (the province of issue) or, in the case of native banks, circulation was limited to the locale of the town or city of issue. On the lower end of the scale, notes of the myriad pawn shops and money- lenders were heavily discounted when presented only a few blocks away or were refused altogether! Many of these issues had little if any financial backing in the form of reserves - most depended solely on the reputation of the person printing and circulating the notes. This chaotic situation permitted the circulation side by side of notes and coins denominated in cash, cents, ch'uan, coppers, fen, and chiao much to the consternation of foreigners and to the detriment of commerce. Silver Dollars Steps had been taken in 1890 to modernize China's currency system which led to the introduction of the first steam operated press at Canton in Kwangtung province. The mint's initial task was to strike Chinese silver dollars to replace the tremendously popular Mexican dollars which had been imported into China to facilitate trade.

  • Annual Report 2017 Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan)
    Annual Report 2017 Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) Taipei, Taiwan Republic of China Foreword Chin-Long Yang, Governor 2017 was a year of a steady global economic recovery and commodity price upswings, which combined to drive Taiwan's exports expansion as domestic consumer spending maintained moderate growth. Against this backdrop, Taiwan's economy grew at a faster pace of 2.86%, the highest annual growth rate in three years. Meanwhile, inflation was mild as NT dollar appreciation helped alleviate imported inflationary pressures and a weather-induced higher base effect held down food prices. Compared to the previous year, the consumer price index (CPI) rose by 0.62% and the core CPI (excluding vegetables, fruit, and energy prices) went up by 1.04%. While formulating this year's monetary policy, we have noted that the global economic outlook remains uncertain, the domestic economy is posting moderate growth, and the output gap is still negative. In addition, current inflationary pressures are subdued and inflation expectations are well anchored. Compared to several major economies, Taiwan's real interest rate also stands at an appropriate level. Based on these assessments, the Bank has held the policy rates unchanged during thecourseofyear2017,keepingmoneyand credit conditions adequate and accommodative to foster economic growth. We also conducted open market operations to adjust liquidity in the banking system. For the year as whole, bank credit and M2 increased by 4.79% and 3.75% year on year, indicating that market liquidity was sufficient to support economic activity. The Bank is dedicated to policy transparency. We recognize that ever-changing economic and financial conditions around the world have amplified public expectations for greater transparency at the central bank.

Abstract Although the history of the Japanese invasion of China is well-known and well-taught in China, the history of the currency war between China and Japan during the time is far less known. From 1937-1945, China and Japan engaged in not only a military war but also a "currency war." Japan, in an attempt to generate funds for the war from the war itself and to overthrow the Chinese government, attacked China's currency, the fabi (meaning “legal tender”), by printing counterfeit fabi notes and establishing “puppet” banks in China to issue mass amounts of puppet currencies to displace the fabi.
