Taiwan Interest Rate

The Central Bank of Taiwan maintained its key discount rate at 2% during its March 2025 monetary policy meeting, in line with market expectations. The decision reflected the bank’s view that maintaining the current interest rate would support the overall stability of the economy and financial sector amid ongoing uncertainties, including US trade policies. The central bank revised its 2025 economic growth forecast to 3.05%, slightly lower than the previous estimate of 3.08%. Meanwhile, the bank expects Taiwan's annual CPI and core CPI growth rates for this year to be 1.89% and 1.79%, respectively, down from last year's 2.18% and 1.88%. The Central Bank of Taiwan emphasized that it will continue to monitor domestic inflation developments, closely track global economic factors, and remain committed to adjusting its monetary policy as necessary.
