世界各國中央銀行法制改革潮流之探討

最近我國正在修改中央銀行法，擬透過立法程序，對中央銀行的地位重新界定，賦予該行法定的獨立性，以超然的地位，獨立自主的行使職權。在制訂貨幣政策時，不受政治干預。這是順應時代需要，合乎世界潮流的開明措施，值得稱頌讚揚。

Taiwan's legislature recently revised the Central Bank of China (CBC) Act, conferring full operational independence on Taiwan's leading monetary institution. Under the new legislation, CBC, like central banks in developed countries, will be granted supra-governmental status, freeing it from potential political influence.
The legal guarantee of CBC's operational independence will not only strengthen price and financial stability in Taiwan, but will also help attract foreign capital and enhance international monetary cooperation. Since the 1990s, legislation to safeguard central bank autonomy has been enacted by more than 30 countries, including developed and developing countries, as well as the newly transformed countries of central and eastern Europe. By adopting such legislation, these countries have insulated themselves from untoward consequences that could arise from the politicization of monetary policy making.
