台湾中央銀行（写真）は２０日、政策金利を２％に据え置いた。インフレ懸念がくすぶり、トランプ米政権の関税政策に不確実性があることを踏まえた措置。２０２２年１２月撮影（２０２５年 ロイター／Ann Wang）［台北 ２０日 ロイター］ - 台湾中央銀行は２０日、政策金利を２％に据え置いた。インフレ懸念がくすぶり、トランプ米政権の関税政策に不確実性があることを踏まえた措置。ロイターのエコノミスト調査でも据え置きを予想していた。中銀は２０２５年の成長率予測を３．０５％とし、昨年１２月時点の３．１３％から下方修正した。２４年は４．５９％だった。２５年の消費者物価上昇率予想は１．８９％に据え置いた。四半期金融政策会合後に発表した報告書は、米国がカナダ、メキシコ、中国などに課した関税引き上げの影響は今のところ限定的で、輸出の勢いは今年維持されると予想した。私たちの行動規範：トムソン・ロイター「信頼の原則」, opens new tab
