As Japan and South Korea depreciate and grab orders, manufacturers urge Taiwan dollar to follow suit

Free Times [Reporter Zhang Xiesheng/Taichung Report] The Japanese yen and the Korean won have depreciated one after another, and orders for machinery products from many countries have shifted to Japan and South Korea. Wang Wuxiong, chairman of CHMER, the leading domestic electric discharge processing machine manufacturing company, made serious suggestions to the visiting Executive Yuan yesterday. Changjiang Yihua, the government should moderately depreciate the New Taiwan dollar, speed up the signing of FTAs ​​with other countries and speed up cross-strait ECFA goods trade negotiations, so as to prevent Taiwan, which originally occupied a place in the global precision machinery market, from losing its competitiveness.

Jiang Yihua: Overall consideration must be taken

Jiang Yihua said that whether the Taiwan dollar depreciates appropriately, in addition to respecting the free market mechanism, the central bank must take into account the import and export industries, inflation and foreign exchange reserves to make a decision that is in line with the country's overall interests. As for the cross-strait ECFA negotiations, goods trade will be the focus in the second half of the year, and the government We will definitely fight for the maximum rights and interests of the industry. Jiang Yihua also admitted that many countries are negotiating FTA (free trade agreement) with Taiwan, and they really have to consider China's reaction.

CHMER, located in Taichung Precision Machinery Innovation and Technology Park, is one of the top five electrical discharge machining machine manufacturers in the world. Chairman Wang Wuxiong said that Taiwan’s machinery industry is highly homogeneous with Japan and South Korea. Due to the recent depreciation of the Japanese yen and South Korean won, some Singaporean customers warned him that many customers who originally purchased Taiwanese machinery products have switched to buying Japanese and Korean products. The central bank should carefully consider Only by devaluing the Taiwan dollar to at least 31 to 32 yuan per U.S. dollar can the industry remain competitive; if the industry's export competitiveness improves, an increase in orders can also increase the employment rate and make the people feel that the government is fighting for the economy.

Wang Wuxiong pointed out that Taiwan used to be the second largest importer of machining center machines from China, but now it has dropped to third, and may be surpassed by South Korea. Last year, the amount of machining center machines exported to China by Japan, Germany and South Korea was growing, but only Taiwan's independence has grown by ten. 1%, hoping that the government will speed up cross-strait ECFA goods trade negotiations. In particular, South Korea has completed FTA signings with the European Union, the United States, ASEAN, etc., and South Korea’s machine tool exports are exempt from tariffs to the contracted countries. This will inevitably severely compress Taiwan’s machine tool export market. We hope that the government will speed up Negotiate FTA with international parties.

In response to the depreciation of the yen, which has caused the loss of orders from industries such as precision machinery and machine tools, when Executive Director Jiang Yihua went to Taichung yesterday (11) to hold discussions with enterprises, the industry expressed high-decibel suggestions on exchange rate issues. Wang Wuxiong, chairman of CHMER, a leading domestic electric discharge processing machine and wire cutting machine manufacturer, said that if the New Taiwan dollar remains unchanged, the industry will "sit back and wait for death."

Jiang Yihua pointed out that the opinions of the industry will be reflected to the central bank, but emphasized that the overall interests of the country must be considered. The Executive Yuan will hold intensive financial meetings in the next three weeks; negotiations on trade in services and trade in goods for this year’s Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Agreement (ECFA) are ready and will be signed in the near future.

After taking over as Executive Director, Jiang Yihua made his first two-day and one-night industrial visit to Taichung. He chose to stay overnight in the Shanghai Banking Staff Dormitory to experience first-hand the efforts of Taiwanese enterprises to fight for the economy. Yesterday, he went to CHMER to continue his visit.

However, after Zhuo Yongcai, chairman of Shanghai Banking Technology, heavily criticized the central bank for "not shedding tears until he sees the coffin," Xu Xiucang, chairman of the Taiwan Machinery Association, also said that Peng Huainan is not worthy of being the president of 9A, and the industry is booming. Wang Wuxiong, chairman of CHMER, said yesterday in front of Executive President Jiang that the exchange rate of the yen against the U.S. dollar has exceeded 100 yuan. Taiwan's export-oriented industry is facing the crisis of products being replaced by Japan and South Korea, and its market share is rapidly losing to China. .

Wang Wuxiong said that due to the successive depreciation of the yen and the Korean won, Taiwanese products used to be 30% cheaper than Japanese products. Now with the depreciation of the yen, the price difference is almost even. Many foreign buyers have begun to buy Japanese and Korean products instead. The price advantage of Taiwanese products Lost.

Wang Wuxiong pointed out that last month he went to Singapore to attend the anniversary celebration of his agent, and his boss told him privately that after the depreciation of the yen, Japanese businessmen were "dumping goods" everywhere. Originally, a local customer had negotiated to purchase five machining centers produced by a large Taiwanese manufacturer. , but was snatched away by Japan's Makino at the last moment, and the business worth nearly 20 million yuan was ruined.

Regarding the suggestions from the industry, Jiang Yihua said that the successive depreciations of the Japanese yen and the Korean won have put great pressure on Taiwan. The central bank must consider market mechanisms, foreign exchange reserve control and other factors, and must consider the overall interests of the country, but it will convey the expectations of the industry to the central bank.
