Taiwan's Central Bank to Hold Interest Rates Amid Inflation Concerns | Expert Analysis
In an exclusive Multibagger poll, economists predict that Taiwan's central bank will maintain its policy interest rate unchanged this week, remaining steady until late next year due to lingering inflation concerns. The benchmark discount rate is expected to stay at 2%, following a previous hike from 1.875% earlier this year.
Economists anticipate no change in the interest rate at the upcoming quarterly meeting, with future rate cuts potentially starting in the third quarter of 2025. Taiwan's inflation, while not as high as in Western economies, remains a priority for the central bank, which considers 2% as a warning level.
Amidst global economic shifts, Taiwan's export-driven economy faces uncertainties in AI demand and weaker projected exports. Despite a thriving tech sector, economic growth predictions have been revised slightly downward for this year.
