    Taiwan central bank leaves policy rate unchanged and raises second-home loan LTV cap

    Question

    Taiwan central bank leaves policy rate unchanged and raises second-home loan LTV cap

    Direct answer

    TWD, 2Y TWN yields and Taiwan bank and property names are the main immediate watchpoints; the unchanged policy rate supports front-end rates while the tighter-to-looser mortgage rule mix is a relative positive for housing activity but may cap some speculative property leverage.
