The New Taiwan Dollar appreciated so much that it soared to the NT$29 mark, demonstrating Taiwan's strength. From mobile phones to laptops, everything is equipped with super AI. Taiwan is the most stable and powerful economy in all of Asia.
The appreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar reflects Taiwan's economic leap forward.
In May 2025, the New Taiwan Dollar (NTD) will become the world's strongest currency, reflecting Taiwan's true strength. In 2019, TSMC entered the 3nm era, and the NTD rose all the way to 27.9. The Taiwan stock market broke through the historical curse of 12,682. In January 2023, Microsoft provided it with $10 billion for exclusive licensing of GPT-4, AI infrastructure, and Trump's Stargate. In 2025, a trillion-dollar business opportunity is coming. At this moment, TSMC announced its plan to break through to 14 angstroms and expand its 2nm investment in Zuoying, Kaohsiung, Southern Taiwan Science Park, and Central Taiwan Science Park. The NTD appreciates so much that it is heading straight for 29. This is Taiwan's strength. From mobile phones to laptops, everything is full of super AI. Taiwan is the most stable and powerful economy in Asia.
April exports saw significant growth, reaching a total of US$48.66 billion, a year-on-year increase of 29.9% (33.1% in New Taiwan Dollars), marking the 18th consecutive month of positive growth. Considering the traditionally slow month of January to December, Taiwan's April export figures are astonishing. This is definitely just the beginning, and this surge is not a mere isolated incident. Trump's tariffs on China are the key to Taiwan's overall economic boom, especially as Taiwan can finally challenge China in traditional industries, a feat not seen since 2007. This "Clinton pent-up frustration" should end in the Trump era.
Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics: Economic growth in the second half of the year is projected to be 1%, and Taiwan's economic growth forecast for 2025 has been lowered.
The Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) has presented a super Dragon Boat Festival gift. Seeing how conservative the DGBAS is, everyone can understand why the Ministry of Finance has been seriously over-collecting taxes in recent years. This reflects not only the conservatism of economists, but also the disregard for the resilience and global competitiveness of Taiwan's industries. At this moment, seeing President Lai's urgent need to organize a sovereign wealth fund, the DGBAS should probably take a good look at President Lai's intentions!
Why the rush to establish a sovereign wealth fund? Over the past five years, the central bank has stored a large amount of US dollars from its foreign exchange reserves in insurance. However, this method cannot conceal the staggering influx of US dollars into Taiwan after 2025, driven by factors such as Trump's tariffs on China and the promise of "Taiwan AI can help." Don't forget, the sovereign wealth fund aims to reduce the opportunity cost of holding excessively high foreign exchange reserves! President Lai has shown foresight, recognizing Taiwan's future role in leveraging the US dollar's influence internationally!
Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
