10:10 AM EDT, 09/18/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Taiwan's central bank (CBC) Thursday said its Board decided to keep the discount rate, the rate on refinancing of secured loans and the rate on temporary accommodations unchanged at 2.0%, 2.375%, and 4.25%, respectively.

Taiwan's central bank decision to stay on hold was "widely expected," with the discount rate unchanged at 2.0%, noted Scotiabank.

The domestic inflation rate was projected to drop to below 2% this year and to continue to slow down next year, noted CBC in the policy statement, adding that the domestic economy was expected to post solid growth this year and to expand at a moderate pace in 2026.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
