Memo from Taipei - Issue No. 2 |
July 16, 2010
The White Paper is Out. AmCham Taipei launched its 2010 Taiwan White Paper on June 30, which by coincidence was just one day after Taiwan and China signed their Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement. Inevitably the questions at AmCham’s press conference focused heavily on our expectations for ECFA.
Fielding those questions gave AmCham Chairman Alan Eusden the chance to underscore some of the key themes set out in the Overview section of the White Paper. ECFA, we emphasized, may give multinational companies cause to take a fresh look at Taiwan as a potential investment destination – but ECFA alone won’t be sufficient to restore Taiwan’s luster as a business environment. To take full advantage of post-ECFA opportunities to attract new investment, Taiwan will also need to streamline regulatory procedures and otherwise improve government efficiency. AmCham pointed to the 165 recommendations contained in the various committee position papers as an excellent guide to the areas needing reform.
