Central Bank of the Republic of China held its second board meeting and decided to raise the reserve requirement by 0.25 percentage points and implement the sixth wave of selective credit control measures, decreasing the loan-to-value ratio for the second property purchase in specific areas from 70% to 60%. Despite keeping interest rates unchanged, the tightening monetary policy aims at curbing the overheated housing market. The Central Bank also adjusted the economic growth forecast to 3.77% and predicted a slight decrease in inflation to nearly 2% by the end of the year.
