Amid possible U.S. tariffs aimed at nations with large trade surpluses, Taiwans central bank has defended its currency and trade policy. Thanks to hightech exports like semiconductors, Taiwans trade surplus with the United States increased by 83% last year to a record $111.4 billion. The central bank stressed that its currency rate policy seeks to preserve market stability rather than get unfair trade benefits. It ascribed this to structural causes, such as the rise in U.S. demand for Taiwanese goods. Because of its excess, Taiwan has been placed on the U.S. Treasurys foreign exchange "monitoring" list. The bank warned that tariff hikes could impede growth and increase inflation, voicing concerns about their effects on the world economy. This demonstrates the fine balance in trade relations between the United States and Taiwan. Read More..

Kenya has applied for a new IMF credit programme to employ unused cash from its current arrangement, which both parties decided to terminate early owing to time restrictions. John Mbadi, the finance minister, denied rumours of problems with the IMF by clarifying that the decision was not the result of unmet targets. Out of the $3.6 billion Extended Credit Facility and Extended Fund Facility, almost $800 million is still unused. A successor programme is being discussed and is anticipated to be launched in July of the following fiscal year.

This action demonstrates Kenyas attempts to maintain monetary stability in financial strain. Read More..
