台灣新經濟簡訊Vol.9 No.4

The twin engines of investment and exports continue to power Taiwan's economic development. During an inter-ministerial coordination meeting to address issues raised in the European Chamber of Commerce Taipei (ECCT) Position Papers on March 29, Dr. Christina Liu, minister of the Council for Economic Planning and Development (CEPD), pointed out that with the implementation of the Act for Industrial Innovation, the lowering of the business income tax rate to 17％, the signing of the cross-strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA), and other policy moves, Taiwan's investment climate is better and friendlier than ever. The minister called on members of the ECCT to take advantage of the resulting opportunities and boost their investment in Taiwan.
