Taiwan’s central bank has warned “a few foreign investors” against violating its capital controls as it seeks to contain volatility in its rapidly appreciating currency.
台湾央行警告“少数外国投资者”不要违反其资本管制规定。该行正寻求遏制本币快速升值所带来的波动。
In a statement to the Financial Times, the Central Bank of the Republic of China said it had “strengthened communication with a few foreign investors” and “asked them to self regulate and make necessary improvements” after finding that foreign capital inflows were not being invested in domestic securities. It did not name the investors.
台湾央行在发给英国《金融时报》的一份声明中表示，已“加强与少数外国投资者的沟通”，“要求他们自律并作出必要改进”，原因是发现部分外资流入并未投资于本地证券。声明中未点名相关投资者。
The warning comes as the central bank seeks to rein in the New Taiwan dollar’s sharp rally without being labelled as a currency manipulator by the US. The Taiwan dollar has strengthened more than 10 per cent this year, threatening an economic model built around the country’s enormous trade surplus.
此番警告正值台湾央行努力抑制新台币大幅升值、同时避免被美国贴上操纵汇率的标签。今年以来，新台币已升值逾10%，对台湾以巨额贸易顺差为基础的经济模式构成威胁。
