After having a severe impact on the global economy for more than two years, the coronavirus pandemic is no longer dominating headlines and no longer the top global health concern. However, the impacts of the pandemic on global supply chains have not yet been resolved. Meanwhile the war in Ukraine has raised new concerns about energy and food security and led to surging inflation in many countries while geopolitical tensions have increased, not only between Russia and Ukraine but also between the US and China. Here in Taiwan, the economic boom enjoyed over the duration of the pandemic appears to be moderating as post-pandemic demand for electronic devices and components for remote working and digitalisation declines. It remains to be seen if Taiwan can find new economic drivers beyond the IT field.

Over the past year, the ECCT has maintained a high level and frequency of engagement with the Taiwan government, especially through meetings between ECCT committees and government officials, including cabinet ministers, heads of bureaus, departments, agencies, and numerous working level officials. Thanks to these exchanges and the government’s proactive approach, progress has been made on many of the issues raised in the 2022 Position Papers. At the launch of the ECCT’s 2023 Position Papers, we will review progress made and introduce the new papers that highlight priority issues and share European experiences, best practices and models with the government that are aimed at ensuring Taiwan’s continued economic prosperity.

As is tradition, the Minister of the National Development Council (NDC) has been invited to the launch to receive a copy of the 2023 Position Papers and make a few remarks on behalf of the Taiwan government.

About the ECCT’s Position Papers
The ECCT’s Position Papers are published annually by the ECCT and include a collection of industry-specific issues and recommendations from a European business perspective on how to further improve the business environment in Taiwan. This year’s papers, compiled by the 25 of the ECCT’s committees, primarily address the Taiwan government, but also serve to inform the European Commission, the governments of the individual European member states as well as the media and the general public.
