The Industrial Development Bureau of Taiwan proposed initiating carbon tax at 100 NTD during the upcoming carbon tax review meeting to be held by the Environmental Protection Administration on July 5, 2024. The alliance suggests considering refunds for regions with no carbon taxes on exported products and simultaneously levying carbon fees on imported high-carbon products as per climate laws to eliminate unfair competition and prevent carbon leakage. They emphasized the need for fair treatment and subsidies in setting carbon fees to maintain industrial competitiveness and called for gradual implementation and exemption thresholds in carbon pricing. The alliance highlighted concerns about the current carbon tax targets, favoring large corporations and potentially encouraging industrial fragmentation leading to unfair competition. They also mentioned the negative impact on Taiwan's global competitiveness if local products face carbon fees while foreign competitors do not. The alliance illustrated the repercussions on industries like cement, warning of severe consequences on competitiveness and survival if carbon fees are set without synchronizing imports. Overall, the alliance stressed the collective responsibility of energy conservation and carbon reduction while safeguarding domestic industries' survival and development, urging caution against green inflation.

Investor sentiment is high globally, with the Japanese stock market performing well. Investment professionals believe that Japanese stocks will lead investors into another golden decade, as they were a hotspot for global funds last year and are being driven by various positive factors this year. Firms in Japan with large cash reserves are expected to increase shareholder returns through dividends and stock buybacks. Factors supporting the continued rise in Japanese stocks include attractive valuations compared to other markets, ongoing corporate financial restructuring, the end of deflation, and strong corporate capital expenditure environment. While Japanese stocks have risen, their valuations remain lower than other major stock markets. Small-cap stocks in Japan are particularly favored, as they are currently trading at a discount and have the potential to attract market attention, leading to a capital inflow. There is optimism for sectors like domestic demand and industrial stocks. Financial analysts suggest that Japan's ongoing economic recovery, coupled with a low rate of financial product purchase by Japanese households, indicates the potential for further asset price appreciation. The opening of borders has led to a surge in tourist arrivals in Japan, further stimulating domestic consumption and signaling positive future stock market performance, with emphasis on competitive Japanese semiconductor ETFs.
