Taiwan Central Bank FX Intervention Reports to Go Quarterly in 2026 to Avoid US Scrutiny

Taiwan's central bank is opening its books. Starting this month, the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) will begin disclosing its currency market interventions on a quarterly basis. According to reports from Nikkei, the shift aims to appease the U.S. and avoid the dreaded 'currency manipulator' label.

Transparency Push for Taiwan Central Bank FX Intervention Reports

The decision follows a period of intense scrutiny. In July 2025, the New Taiwan dollar hit a three-year high, prompting the central bank to issue warnings against speculation and actively enter the market. While Taiwan has historically been cautious about revealing its hand, the agreement with the U.S. signals a move toward global transparency standards.

Why This Matters for Global Investors

Investors have often navigated a fog when it comes to Taiwan's currency management. By switching from semi-annual to quarterly reports in January 2026, the central bank is providing more frequent data points. This is crucial for businesses dependent on Taiwan's semiconductor exports and those tracking the broader U.S.-China trade dynamics.
