2024 Taiwan White Paper
Overview
Future-Proofing Taiwan
With each new administration comes a fresh opportunity to evaluate and enhance existing programs, highlighting successes and addressing areas in need of improvement. Taiwan’s adept handling of the pandemic and its semiconductor prowess have drawn international attention, setting the stage for Taiwan to further elevate its business identity and turn itself into an irresistible choice for global partnerships.
Now ranked as one of the world’s richest countries in terms of financial assets, Taiwan stands at the threshold of a transformative era. The time calls for bold vision over incremental changes, leveraging technological and political achievements to spur rapid economic growth, expand global influence, and greatly enhance quality of life. The challenge of a rapidly aging population further underscores the urgent need for innovative governance and comprehensive planning to effectively navigate the complexities of the future.
Unfortunately, progress in transforming the business environment has not been aligned with a sense of urgency in recent years. Of the 95 issues brought up in the 2023 edition of the White Paper, only 5 are considered fully resolved by the Chamber’s committees. Additionally, more than a quarter of the issues from the previous year have either stalled or been dropped. While these outcomes are disappointing, the Chamber finds encouragement in the 25 issues that are making good progress and looks forward to more decisive actions on these and new suggestions in the coming year.
For Taiwan to capitalize on its momentum, it is crucial to implement the specific, actionable recommendations from AmCham’s industry committees on refining Taiwan’s business environment. Addressing outstanding issues and making notable progress will signal decisively to the international business community that Taiwan is a prime partner for trade and investment, committed to continuously advancing its economic landscape.
The most important step Taiwan must take to cement its position on the global stage is aligning itself with international standards. The progressing talks and first agreement under the U.S.-Taiwan Initiative on 21st Century Trade serve as a reminder of the importance for Taiwan to harmonize its regulatory framework with those of major economies, ensuring that its trade practices and commercial environment are conducive to international business.
A well-regulated market attracts foreign direct investment. Investors are more likely to allocate resources to environments where regulatory frameworks are transparent, predictable, and aligned with international standards. AmCham committees highlight several Taiwan- specific policies that introduce unnecessary challenges for multinational companies operating across multiple markets.
This year’s suggestions regarding harmonization include aligning Taiwan’s financial regulations with global standards to attract foreign investments, matching Taiwan’s investment environment with international norms, upgrading registration frameworks of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices to achieve international uniformity, and adopting principles-based supervision methods to enhance transparency and regulatory processes.
STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION
Providing adequate public notice regarding proposed new or revised regulations to relevant stakeholders, along with offering a platform for them to submit comments for the regulator’s consideration, is a cornerstone of good regulatory practices (GRP). Public disclosure and ample consultation time are needed to preserve the integrity and accountability of the governance framework. Naturally, such notice and comment periods must also be supported by meaningful communication with stakeholders as implementation details are formulated. Faithful adherence to this practice benefits businesses, regulators, and the public by helping to ensure that the final proposals are both sound and effective.
Taiwan’s 60-day notice and comment period, initiated in 2016 at the urging of AmCham, has fallen short of expectations. As consistently reported by our members and reflected in various committee papers in this volume, many regulations are being implemented without adequate public notice and, in some cases, without any notice whatsoever. One reason for this shortfall is that the executive orders pertaining to notice and comment requirements, as currently written, specifically refer to regulations affecting international trade, investment, or intellectual property. This provision is frequently interpreted too narrowly. In reality, many regulations thought to affect only domestic commerce also impact international trade and investment.
Another loophole allows regulations to bypass the 60-day rule in cases deemed “emergencies.” A liberal interpretation of this exemption has opened up for potential abuse. AmCham continues to call for stricter oversight of the notice and comment process, the elimination of the “trade, investment, or intellectual property-related” exception, and the publication of a clear definition of what truly constitutes an emergency.
Strict adherence to the 60-day public consultation rule for all draft regulations, provision of bilingual versions of drafts at the beginning of the consultation period, and the development of comprehensive checklists and proposal templates for government agencies would ensure an open, fair, and meaningful policy deliberation process, bettering stakeholder trust and cooperation. The Chamber has brought its concerns to the attention of the National Development Council before, emphasizing the importance of ensuring proper implementation of an established procedure for GRP.
Unlike the United States, most bills in Taiwan originate in the executive branch. As some of our committees point out this year, applying the 60-day rule to new legislation during the drafting stage within the Executive Yuan would greatly increase the soundness of Taiwan’s regulatory environment. Similarly, including AmCham members and international companies in dialogues with the government during the drafting of new regulations is crucial for fostering mutual understanding and making certain that industry expertise is integrated into decision-making processes. Regular and structured meetings between government bodies and these stakeholders not only offer mutual comprehension but also strengthen collaborative efforts toward achieving shared objectives.
This participation is essential as it allows for leveraging international practices, enriching discussions, and leading to more informed and effective policymaking. The active engagement of these companies in regulatory processes also helps align Taiwan’s standards with international norms, thereby improving the predictability and stability of the business environment and making Taiwan an even more attractive destination for foreign investment.
BUILDING RESILIENCE
Future-proofing Taiwan necessitates swift action to fortify its resilience across several critical areas:
Critical infrastructure. To bolster its critical infrastructure, Taiwan can undertake a variety of strategic measures aimed at different sectors, such as energy, telecommunications, and transportation. Furthermore, power plants, water supply, telecommunications, transportation, medical institutions, bridges, and highways might be vulnerable in the event of natural disasters or other incidents.
Prioritizing investments in grid infrastructure upgrades and deploying smart grid technologies can forge a stable and enduring grid. Further, expanding the operational flexibility at the Port of Taichung to support the transportation of large wind turbine components beyond current restricted hours can significantly streamline the deployment of renewable energy projects.
The adoption of a cloud-first policy and the integration of multi-cloud data backup systems can optimize the security and reliability of critical digital infrastructure. This approach guarantees that data and applications remain available and secure, even in disruptions. Further, collaborating with industry in drafting cybersecurity policies can help keep pace with the rapid evolution of technology-related threats.
Establishing a cross-ministerial platform to facilitate more effective coordination and policymaking across various government levels can help seamlessly implement infrastructure projects. Such a platform would also enable more holistic approaches to resolving bureaucratic and regulatory challenges that may impede infrastructure development. Implementing these recommendations requires a collaborative effort between government, industry, and international partners, ensuring that Taiwan’s infrastructure systems are robust, flexible, and capable of supporting its long-term developmental goals.
Digital transformation. With its thriving tech ecosystem and engineering talent pool, Taiwan can strategically advance its position in emerging technologies by cultivating a conducive regulatory environment, innovation, and international collaboration. A balanced regulatory framework that mitigates risks without stifling innovation is paramount to this transformation. This approach requires the designation of a coordinating agency to provide a holistic approach to AI, encompassing various sectors and facilitating a coherent regulatory environment. It is essential to prevent over-regulation at the early stages of development and instead focus on high-risk AI applications, such as social scoring or biometric identification, ensuring that regulations are narrowly tailored to address specific, high-risk deployments. To support digital trade, Taiwan could implement safe harbor principles for digital intermediaries, protecting them from legal liability for third-party content, thereby safeguarding freedom of expression and innovation online. Doing so would also encourage digital platforms to operate within Taiwan’s jurisdiction, enhancing the digital trade ecosystem.
Effective use of GRP can act as a dynamic crowdsourcing tool that integrates diverse perspectives upfront. When public consultation is overlooked, Taiwan risks silencing its highly-educated and innovative populace, consequently hampering investment by perpetually lagging behind technological advancements. Collaborations between government and industry are vital in drafting cybersecurity policies and regulations. Such partnerships ensure that policies are comprehensive and effectively address the rapid evolution of technology. Taiwan should also engage in global norm-setting by participating in international forums and standard-setting organizations, which can help prevent fragmentation of regulations that could hinder the global operations of Taiwanese companies.
Energy. To fortify its energy resilience, Taiwan can accelerate the deployment of renewable energy sources, particularly for high-demand sectors such as the semiconductor industry. Implementing a transparent electricity price review mechanism can provide predictability and stability, which are crucial for businesses to plan and invest confidently. Regular communication about rate changes and a mechanism that reflects the diverse conditions of different industries can help Taiwan maintain a cost- competitive environment conducive to foreign investment.
Adapting the regulatory framework to support the development of renewable energy is imperative. Further investment could be encouraged by reducing local content requirements, which currently add significant costs, and removing import tariffs on critical components to yield competitive pricing for green energy technologies. In the Chamber’s 2024 Business Climate Survey, 71% of respondents expressed concern about the availability of green energy in Taiwan, an indication that this issue spans all member industries.
Healthcare. Investment and regulatory reforms in the healthcare sector, particularly in the fields of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, are crucial to the societal and business environment in Taiwan. Both the government and industry have acknowledged that at 6.6% last year, the national healthcare expenditure as a percentage of GDP was far too low, particularly for a soon-to-be super-aged society. Moreover, Taiwan has opened the door to a surge of fast followers, who are rapidly altering clinical expectations regarding sources of supply and creating potential risks to the security of the healthcare sector.
A robust healthcare system, capable of delivering high-quality medical services, is pivotal in enhancing the life quality of citizens, reducing disease burden, and extending life expectancy. By creating a secure, timely, transparent, and fair approval process for new drugs and devices, Taiwan can make greater improvements in health quality outcomes and the supply of medicines.
As Taiwan looks to diversify its exports, harmonizing its healthcare regulations with international standards is integral to reducing trade barriers and expanding its participation in international trade related to pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Such alignment would help Taiwanese companies permeate foreign markets, increasing their growth opportunities.
Talent. Taiwan has the potential to strengthen its workforce by investing in domestic talent and actively encouraging the participation of foreign nationals and individuals with disabilities. To nurture and retain talent, Taiwan can leverage its educational institutions and corporate training programs to align skills with industry needs. Enhanced funding for STEM education, coupled with internships and apprenticeships in high-tech industries, can help prepare the workforce for future challenges. Moreover, lifelong learning programs and digital upskilling initiatives should be accessible for continuous professional development in an ever-evolving global economy.
Taiwan can also boost its attractiveness to foreign professionals through several key initiatives. These include streamlining visa processes and providing clear and accessible information about living and working in Taiwan through online platforms. Moreover, tax incentives and simplifying the tax reimbursement process, as suggested by making it fully electronic, could remove significant barriers that currently discourage long-term settlement.
For individuals with disabilities, creating inclusive workplaces is fundamental. Enhancing career counseling for individuals with disabilities and developing a national diversity dashboard can provide essential tools and data to support their integration and advancement in the workforce, leading to a more inclusive employment landscape.
Investing in a diverse and inclusive workforce is not just a social imperative but also an economic one. By tapping into the full potential of its human resources, Taiwan can drive innovation, fill skill gaps in critical sectors, and elevate its competitiveness on the global stage. Easing the integration process for foreign talent can lead to a more dynamic and diverse cultural and professional landscape, increasing creativity and productivity.
ENHANCING U.S. RELATIONS
Officials in both Taiwan and the United States have described the current bi lateral relationship as the strongest in many years, including in the economic sphere. Several initiatives now underway are designed to make those connections even more robust. AmCham urges the Taiwan authorities to make every effort to enable early implementation of the following programs, each of which would make a valuable contribution to deepening bilateral ties:
The U.S.-Taiwan Initiative on 21st Century Trade. Agreement of the first five chapters of this framework was concluded last year, and negotiations are continuing on the remaining portions. Early completion of the entire package would spur the start of conversations on moving on to sign a full-fledged bilateral trade agreement.
Elimination of double taxation. Legislation to accomplish that objective on the U. S. side has been passed by the House of Representatives. Once the Senate follows suit, Taiwan needs to be prepared to proceed with reciprocal legislation.
Implementation of the Taiwan Fellowship Program. This program would enable selected American civil servants and other qualified individuals to spend two years in Taiwan for language training and practical experience. The U.S. Congress has already passed the necessary authorization and initial appropriation. A memorandum of understanding between the two sides is now being drafted to enable the plan to be put into action.
LOOKING AHEAD
To increase communication and achieve improved mutual understanding, our committees are looking forward to continuous dialogue with the regulatory authorities in their sectors. Several of this year’s committee submissions include specific ideas for fostering public- private partnerships, and Chamber members stand ready to contribute their expertise for the betterment of Taiwan’s business environment.
Similarly, AmCham leadership seeks to schedule additional meetings with officials at the ministerial level and above to discuss cross-industry issues of concern. This collaboration will strengthen Taiwan’s capacity to address current and future challenges.
增進台灣的未來布局
台灣正處於歷史上的關鍵時刻,擁有策略性增進國家韌性與經濟定位之良機。 今年適逢台灣新任政府上台,美國大選亦隨即展開,值此變動之際,台灣握有提升未來競爭力的空前機會,在全球局勢演變、科技日新月異、永續發展面臨挑戰的經貿環境下,美國商會亦期許新內閣藉此評估與強化既有政策、以過往政績借力使力並與國際規範接軌。拜防疫有成與半導體於國際市場有目共睹之賜,台灣廣受全球注目,亦躍升成為極具吸引力的國際夥伴。
以金融資產來看,台灣目前名列全球最富有的國家之一,在面臨多項變革之際,不應屈就於漸進改變,而必須懷抱遠大願景,發揮自身在經濟與民主政治的優勢,激勵經濟快速成長、拓展全球影響力、大幅提升生活品質。然而,台灣的人口迅速老化乃為一大課題,進一步突顯創新治理與周詳規畫的急迫性,以期成功駕馭複雜多變的未來。
可惜的是,儘管經商環境近年逐漸轉型,仍緩不濟急。2023年白皮書列出的95項議題當中,美國商會各委員會認為只有5項完全解決。此外,逾四分之一的議題沒有進展或遭到擱置。如此結果固然不理想,但美國商會樂見有25項議題有具體進展,並期許台灣在未來一年針對既有與新增建議果斷行動。
台灣若要掌握轉型動能,落實美國商會各產業委員會的建議將成關鍵,這些旨在精進台灣的經商環境之建議具體可行。一旦解決延宕多時的議題,同時促進實質進展,全球企業界將可清楚看到台灣是貿易與投資的絕佳夥伴,而台灣 亦致力於持續提升經濟態勢。
為了鞏固台灣在國際舞台的地位,其關鍵在於與國際標準接軌。「台美21世紀貿易倡議」已達成第一階段協議,相關協商仍持續進行,有關雙邊貿易之議題討論,除了不斷強調了台灣法規制度與全球主要經濟體接軌的重要性,亦呼籲確保台灣的貿易實務與法規環境有利於國際商務,響應健全的市場規範,並吸引海外直接投資。倘若法規框架公開透明、具可預期性且符合國際標準,投資方自然更加願意為台灣保留資源。
然而,美國商會各產業委員會據市場觀察提及,若干台灣政策對經營眾多市場的跨國企業已然造成多項不必要的瓶頸,並於下述說明,供各單位參酌。
針對與國際標準接軌部分,委員會今年的建議包括:將台灣的金融監理與國際標準接軌,以期吸引外資;促進台灣投資環境符合國際規範;升級化學品、藥品與醫療器材的註冊框架,以期符合國際標準;採行以原則為基準的監理方式,強化透明度與監管流程。
利害關係人徵詢
良好法規實務的展現,關鍵之一在於針對擬議的新法規或法規修正,相關單位應於國際認可之公開期限內充分告知相關利害關係人,並提供平台讓利害關係人提出意見,供主管機關審議。主管機關必須公開揭露相關資訊,並給予利害關係人之充裕的徵詢時間,以維護政府治理框架的透明與可問責性。
公眾評論期後,主管機關擬定執行細節與實行時,亦必須與利害關係人進行實質溝通。落實這項原則,有助於確保最終通過的法規完善而有成效,能夠裨益企業、主管機關與社會大眾。
在美國商會的籲請下,台灣在2016年通過60天公眾評論期的規定,但實際執行並未符合預期。無論是會員企業持續反應,或本次白皮書的許多委員會建議所述,有太多法規在執行前並未充分對外公告,有時甚至毫無通知。執行面之所以出現落差,在於目前函令允許「法律草案經主管機關檢視確認與貿易、投資或智慧財產權無關者,得免為公告周知」,但許多經主管機關認定僅影響國內商務的法規,實則亦牽涉貿易與投資,因此不應狹義詮釋評論期規定。
另一個漏洞在於,若屬「情況急迫」,法規可不受60天評論期的限制。寬鬆詮釋這項豁免權,容易產生濫用情況。美國商會持續敦促加強監督60天預告及收集意見的過程、取消「與貿易、投資或智慧財產權無關者」之例外,並公布實際急迫情況的明確定義。
倘若所有草案嚴格遵守60天公眾評論期的規定,並於評論期之始即提供草案的雙語版本,也為政府部門擬定全面的檢查清單與提案範本,則可望確保公平、公開、實質的政策審議過程,進而提升利害關係人的信任與合作。美國商會先前已向國家發展委員會提出關切,強調確實執行此一重要程序的重要性,如此方能達到良好法制作業。
跟美國不同的是,台灣的多數法案由行政院起草。正如美國商會部分委員會今年所指出,若能在行政院起草新法階段便納入60天評論期規範,將可大幅提升台灣監管環境的健全。
在新法起草階段期間,台灣政府若能與商會成員企業等國際企業進行對話,同樣有助於促進雙方瞭解,確保決策過程納入產業面的專業知識。政府機構與利害關係人定期舉行會議,不僅能夠增進相互瞭解,亦能加強彼此合作,為實現共同目標而努力。
廣納各界參與至關重要,如此方能借重國際實務豐富討論層次,促進更有效完善的決策過程。主動尋求企業參與法規制訂過程,亦有助於台灣與國際標準接軌,進而提升商務環境的可預測性與穩定性,讓台灣更受到外資的青睞。
打造韌性
為台灣的未來超前部署,關鍵在於建立韌性。台灣必須迅速採取行動,加強幾個關鍵領域的韌性:
關鍵基礎建設。為了加強關鍵基礎建設,台灣應採多項策略來強化不同產業的韌性,包括能源、通訊、運輸等產業。此外,舉凡發電廠、供水、通訊、交通、醫療機構、橋梁與公路等設施,遇到天災或其他風險時可能不堪一擊。
優先投資於升級電網設施與部署智慧電網技術,亦可大幅提升電網韌性。此外,台中港目前針對大型風機零件設有運輸時間限制,若擴大港口營運彈性,可望大幅精簡再生能源工程的花費時間。
若能採行雲端優先(cloud first)政策,並整合多雲端(multi-cloud)資料備份系統,可望提升關鍵數位基礎建設的安全性與可靠性,即使面臨干擾,亦可確保資料與應用程式持續可及且安全無虞。此外,與產業合作擬定網路安全政策,有助於因應快速變化的科技威脅。
建立跨部會協調之平台機制,促進政府各級單位有效協調與制訂政策,有助於確保基礎建設工程之順利執行。此平台亦能多管齊下,解決有礙基礎建設發展的行政與法遵挑戰。要成功落實這些建議,需要政府機關、產業與國際盟友的多方合作,確保台灣的基礎建設系統穩健而有彈性,能夠推動長期發展目標。
數位轉型。受惠於蓬勃的科技生態圈與工程人才,台灣得以從策略面提升其在新興技術的地位,包括打造正面的法規環境、促進創新研發並強化國際合作。為了推動數位轉型,法規框架之平衡至關重要,一方面要能降低風險,一方面又不壓抑創新動能,因此必須指派協調機構,確保政府採行周詳的人工智慧政策,不僅涵蓋各產業,亦能促進法規環境的協調一致。人工智慧科技正值發展初期,尤須避免過度監管,對於限制使用人工智慧的政策,應針對特定情境下的高風險案例,例如社會信用評分或遠程生物特徵辨識等。為了支持數位貿易,台灣可針對數位中介商實施安全港原則,避免業者承擔第三方內容的法律責任,進而促進線上的言論自由與創新。此舉亦能鼓勵數位平台在台灣管轄範圍內營運,強化數位貿易生態系統。
有效的良好法制作業包含以靈活彈性的方式尋求群眾之力整合多方見解,倘若輕忽徵詢公眾意見的重要性,將錯失善加利用台灣的群眾知識與創新能量之機會,導致台灣長期落後技術進展的腳步,抑制投資力道。
公私協力是擬定網路安全政策與法規的關鍵所在,得以確保相關政策的完善,並有效因應科技的快速發展。此外,台灣亦應參與國際論壇與制定標準之組織,參與全球規範制訂,藉此避免法規紛亂不一,阻礙台灣企業的海外營運。
能源。為了增強能源韌性,台灣應加速部署再生能源來源,尤其是因應高需求產業如半導體等。執行透明的電價審查制度,可提高電價的可預測性與穩定性,讓企業在規畫與投資時更有信心。若能針對電價變動定期對外溝通,並採行能夠反映各產業不同條件的機制,有助於維持具有成本競爭力的環境,裨益外資布局。
為促進再生能源的發展,調整法規框架是不可或缺的一環。若要進一步鼓勵投資,可以降低導致目前成本大幅增加的國產化要求,以及取消關鍵零組件的進口關稅,確保綠色能源具有價格競爭力。觀察美國商會《2024商業景氣調查》,高達71%的受訪企業對台灣的綠色能源供應表達關切,顯示這項議題攸關所有成員企業的產業。
醫療保健。醫療保健領域的投資與法規改革(尤其是藥品與醫療器材),攸關台灣能否進一步提升社會與經商環境。
台灣的國家醫療保健支出僅占國內生產毛額(GDP)的6%,產官界均認為比重過低,在台灣即將步入超高齡社會之際更顯不足。此外,台灣已向仿製產品( fast follower)廣開大門,這些企業正在迅速改變醫界對供給來源的預期,同時可能危及醫療保健產業的安全。
健全的醫療保健體制能夠提供高品質醫療服務,得以提升民眾生活品質、降低疾病負擔、延長預期壽命。若能針對新藥與醫療器材建立安全、及時、透明與公平的審核流程,台灣可望大幅改善健康品質,確保藥品供應無虞。
隨著台灣力求出口多元化,將醫療保健法規與國際標準接軌更顯重要,藉此可望降低貿易障礙,且加強在藥品與醫療器材相關國際貿易的參與度。法規接軌有助於台灣企業拓展海外市場,活絡營運成長機會。
人才。台灣握有大幅提升勞動力素質的機會,包括扶植國內人才,以及積極鼓勵外國人士與身心障礙者的參與。
為了培育與留才,台灣可以借重教育機構與企業培訓計畫之力,讓所學專業接軌產業所需。增加資助STEM(科學、科技、工程、數學)教育,輔以高科技產業的實習與培訓計畫,可以讓勞動力為未來的挑戰做好準備。此外,持續提供終身學習計畫與提升數位技能計畫,才能確保專業人才於不斷演變的全球經濟中維持其競爭力。
為了進一步吸引外國專業人士前來,台灣亦可採行幾項重要措施,包括簡化簽證流程,以及透過線上平台介紹在台生活與工作,提供清楚而容易取得的相關資訊。此外,若能提供稅務優惠與簡化退稅流程(例如完全電子化),可望消除外國專業人士目前不願長期居留的重大障礙。
對身心障礙者而言,打造多元共融的職場環境是一大關鍵。若有關單位能藉由「多元人才平台」加強職涯諮詢以及就職輔導,促進多元人才者融入職場並持續進步,亦能營造更多元共融的就業環境。
打造多元共融的勞動力,對社會與經濟發展不可或缺。若能充分發揮人力資源的潛力,台灣能夠推動創新、消彌關鍵領域的專長落差、提升台灣在全球舞台的競爭力。對外國人才而言,若能簡化其融入台灣社會的過程,可望帶來更有活力、更多元的文化與職場環境,提高創造力和生產力。
強化美台關係
台灣與美國官員均認為,目前雙邊關係的緊密程度更勝往年,經濟領域亦是如此。目前有幾項計畫正在推動當中,旨在進一步強化雙邊合作。美國商會籲請台灣主管機關全力促進盡早落實以下計畫,藉此深化雙邊關係:
「 台美21世紀貿易倡議」 。該協議的前5項協定已於去年簽署完成,雙方目前持續針對其餘議題協商。若能及早簽署全數協議內容,可望使雙方進一步討論在未來簽署全面雙邊貿易協定之可能。
避免雙重課稅。為此,美方已由眾議院通過相關法案,一旦參議院跟進通過,台灣勢必做好立法互惠的準備。
執行台灣學人計畫 (Taiwan Fellowship Program)。該計畫提供獎助金予美國聯邦政府公務員或符合資格的公民,讓其赴台接受兩年的語言培訓與累積實務經驗。美國國會已通過必要授權與初步撥款,美台雙方目前正在草擬備忘錄,促進該計畫的落實。
展望未來
為了增加互動溝通、深化雙邊共識,美國商會各產業委員會期盼與主管機關持續對話。今年的委員會建議包括促進公私協力的具體構想,成員企業亦願意貢獻一己專業,讓台灣的商務環境更上一層樓。
此外,美國商會之領袖期許有更多機會會面部長級以上官員,共同探討涵蓋各產業的議題。透過加強合作力道,相信台灣將可強化韌性,因應當前考驗。
