According to insiders in the state-owned financial sector, the 'bulk property loans' derived from new construction projects may become a major loophole in the crackdown on straw buyers in the new housing safety inspection. This practice involves investors collectively purchasing properties and using straw buyers to apply for loans, posing a significant challenge for banks dealing with straw buyer issues. This scheme is primarily targeting properties priced around 12 million NTD, with units suitable for the maximum loan limit provided by the new housing safety inspection program. Measures have been proposed to prevent abuse in these loan transactions, including thorough screening processes and monitoring for unusual activities related to these bulk property loans.

Japanese Yen continues to decline, with the Yen to USD exchange rate hitting a 34-year low. Amid the approaching summer travel season, the APCT Executive Director David Chiu suggests there's no need to rush to exchange Yen, predicting that due to Japan's central bank likely lacking the confidence to hike interest rates, the low exchange rate may become a norm. With the Yen continuously devaluing, Taiwanese people may find exchanging Yen inviting due to lower rates. However, this could pose challenges for Taiwan's machinery exports competitiveness against Japan's competitive pricing advantage enabled by the weakened Yen. Considered advisory on when to exchange currency, David Chiu advises exchanging 'short-term' only when there is a need for travel or investment.
