Rebound of Taiwan Stock Triggers Topic of Whether NFSF Should Exit 台股反彈 引國安基金是否考慮退場話題

The TAIEX opened high on Oct. 5, leading to discussions on whether the National Financial Stabilization Fund should exit.

Following the surge of major U.S. stock indexes in the past two days, Taiwan Stock opened high on Wednesday, Oct. 5, and continued to rise, led by electronics weight stocks, rendering a splendid red in the market and with an intraday rise of over 300 points, coming to 13,880 and back on the ten-day moving average. The rebound of Taiwan Stock triggered people's concern about whether the National Financial Stabilization Fund will contemplate withdrawing from the stock market during its regular meeting on Thursday.

Su Jain-rong, Minister of Finance: “The National Financial Stabilization Fund is holding its regular meeting tomorrow, and normally at a regular meeting, if no surprises, there should not be any major decisions.”

Minister of Finance Su Jain-rong hinted that the National Financial Stabilization Fund will temporarily exist; however, he emphasized that it really depends on overall economic fundamentals. Meanwhile, in terms of world economics, it is said that the U.S. will likely announce, earliest this week, new measures to block China's technological advancements, including limiting the export of equipment capable of manufacturing 14nm chips. Legislators are concerned that Taiwan's semiconductor supply chain may be impacted.

Yang Chiung-ying, Legislator (KMT): “Does our government have a plan in response to the supply chain?”
Wang Mei-hua, Minister of Economic Affairs: “Actually, for Taiwan, there should not be much impact. Whether the supply chain will be affected should not be affected because Taiwan can still purchase the relevant equipment, materials, etc. This is not a problem.”
 
The Minister of Economic Affairs Wang Mei-hua emphasized that as the U.S. government has not officially announced the new measures, they will keep a close watch on relevant information. If, as the media reports, there will be restrictions on the export of equipment that manufactures 14nm chips, Taiwan will prepare relevant plans in response and will not let it affect Taiwan's semiconductor production chain.


 

隨著美股四大指數連兩天全面上漲，台股5日週三早盤開高走高。由電子權值股領軍，盤面一片紅通通，盤中一度大漲超過300點，來到1萬3880點，站回10日線。台股反彈，外界也關心，國安基金週四將召開例行委員會，是否考慮退場。

蘇建榮表示：「國安基金明天是例會，例會的話，基本上如果沒有意外的狀況的話，大概不會做出比較重大的決定。」

蘇建榮暗示、國安基金暫時不會有退場決定，不過還是強調要看整體基本面情況。而在國際經濟方面，外傳美國最快本週宣布防堵中國科技發展新措施，包括限制可生產14奈米以下晶片的設備出口，有立委憂心台灣半導體供應鏈可能會受到影響。

國民黨立委楊瓊瓔詢問，政府針對供應鏈是否有應對的方案？經濟部長王美花回應，對台灣來說，供應鏈應該是比較沒有影響，「因為台灣還是可以去買得到相關的設備材料等等，這個沒有問題。」

王美花強調，美國政府尚未正式公布新措施，會密切注意相關訊息。倘若真如媒體報導，將限制14奈米以下晶片設備出口，我國也會有相關應變措施，不致影響到台灣半導體生產鏈。
