According to aviation industry reports, while strong passenger demand was expected, the robust performance in cargo transport exceeded expectations in the third quarter of 2024. The key factors driving this exceptional growth include increased demand for air cargo due to AI and e-commerce, reaching new high unit prices per kilogram. The simultaneous rise in air cargo prices and volume is set to elevate the revenue and profits of China Airlines (2610) and EVA Air (2618), turning them into unexpected heroes this year. Analysts believe that the reason behind the stellar performance of China Airlines and EVA Air is the exceptional market conditions for air cargo, leading to a double boost in profits; combined with the second-quarter decline in international oil prices reflecting in third-quarter profits, resulting in a triple positive of robust air passenger and cargo demand and reduced costs. The benefits of the rapidly improving air cargo market will be even more evident from June onwards, with growing revenues. Despite seasonal variations in air ticket prices, the overall high demand and negligible price drops have led to a significant increase in demand for resuming flights, further enhancing the revenue and profit growth of passenger services.

According to the latest national greenhouse gas emission inventory released by the Environmental Protection Department, Taiwan's net emissions in 2022 were 264.13 million tons, only a 4% reduction from the previous year and a 1.77% reduction from the base year of 2005. Scholars are urging Taiwan to quickly propose a 'Coal Phase-out Schedule' rather than making excuses for inaction on carbon reduction every year. They emphasize the need to actively phase out fossil fuels to move towards net-zero emissions, as Taiwan's greenhouse gas emissions remain high, mainly due to the consistent import of coal for electricity generation and transportation, posing a significant challenge in achieving the 10% carbon reduction target by 2025. It is suggested that the Environmental Protection Department should intensify efforts to address the gap between emissions and targets while formulating the next phase of emission reduction goals.

The latest national greenhouse gas emissions inventory was released by the Environmental Protection Administration, revealing a 4% decrease in net greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 compared to 2021, with reductions primarily in the energy sector, industrial processes, and product use. However, carbon emissions from the energy sector have increased rather than decreased since the base year of 2005, and carbon emissions in the transportation sector have also risen. The increase in energy and transportation sector emissions is attributed to economic growth, with plans to review energy calorific values and implement updates. Taiwan's semiconductor industry, which uses refrigerants, has seen an increase in hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) emissions, prompting the drafting of regulations to manage HFCs and gradually reduce their consumption starting from 2029 to combat global warming.

Compiled by Yeh Ting-jun/Integrating foreign news, as of June 25, 2024, at 6:36 PM, for high-net-worth individuals (HNW) aiming for a luxurious lifestyle, Singapore remains the most expensive city globally, while Taipei ranks 13th, a slight decline. According to the latest '2024 Global Wealth and High-End Living Report' by Julius Baer, Singapore has maintained its top spot for the second consecutive year due to its stable political and economic situation, along with the favorable business environment attracting the ultra-wealthy. The report found that the 'cost of living luxuriously' globally, including expenses like owning a car, luxury homes, fine dining, and purchasing jewelry, has increased by 4% this year, lower than the 6% increase last year. Each city has its own luxury factors, such as exorbitant car costs in Singapore, legal service fees in Hong Kong, and high-end dining in Shanghai. While Hong Kong and London have risen in rankings to second and third place, respectively, many other Asian cities have seen a decline, including Taipei sliding from third place in 2022 and eighth place in 2023 to 13th this year. Shanghai ranks fourth, possibly due to challenges in the real estate market and weakening consumer confidence, while Tokyo directly dropped to 23rd due to the depreciation of the Japanese yen. Many significant changes in rankings are attributed to exchange rate fluctuations. Living a luxurious life in Santiago, Chile, is now more expensive than in Tokyo when priced in US dollars, reflecting a scenario previously 'unimaginable'. Zurich in Switzerland jumped to sixth place, the city with the most significant ranking improvement this year, mainly due to the appreciation of the Swiss franc. London's rise in rankings is partly due to a stronger British pound and some normalization post-Brexit.
