Central Bank Governor Yang Chin-lung stated that the focus is on whether the housing market affects financial stability, with indicators being banks' loan-to-deposit ratios and stress tests. Even in severe scenarios like a 3% interest rate hike and 40% decrease in house prices, national banks are equipped to handle operations comfortably. The bank also watches for excessive real estate credit concentrations to ensure stability, as structural changes, like the rise in semiconductor industry in Taiwan, can influence housing prices, although speculation is also a concern. Lessons from the US subprime crisis remind the importance of assessing banks' capital adequacy amid market changes to maintain financial stability.

WeWork's bankruptcy reorganization plan was approved by a US court on May 30, allowing the company to operate its coworking business under new ownership as a smaller private entity, with John Santora appointed as CEO, aiming to turn a profit by 2025. The approval by New Jersey's bankruptcy court judge John Sherwood opens the doors for the once valued at $47 billion shared workspace provider to make a comeback amidst the current commercial real estate market downturn. WeWork is also severing ties with its founder Adam Neumann, who aggressively expanded the company before stepping down in 2019. After encountering setbacks following its failed IPO attempt in 2019, WeWork secured a successful SPAC listing, but later faced difficulties due to market collapse and poor financial management, leading to its bankruptcy filing in 2023. Through an injection of $45 million from Yardi Systems, WeWork's largest shareholder, the company has the opportunity to rebuild after its market value shrank to around $500 million post-bankruptcy, down from its peak of $47 billion in 2019.

Under sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies on the semiconductor industry, Chinese tech companies like Huawei have been forced to focus on independent research and development. Huawei's subsidiary HiSilicon recently developed the Ascend 910B AI chip, which has achieved an efficiency of 80% of Nvidia's A100 chip in training large language models. This has led to Tencent, Baidu, and other Chinese tech giants purchasing the Ascend 910B chips, posing a threat to Nvidia's market share in China. Despite Huawei's advancements, there remains a significant gap in AI chip expertise compared to Nvidia, whose H100 chip showcases superior performance capabilities over the A100.

According to the analysis of state-owned banks, following the central bank's increase in the reserve requirement ratio by 1 percentage point, banks will have to choose quality loan cases carefully due to reduced loanable funds; private banks see this move as a measure to suppress inflation. This adjustment signifies a tightening of monetary policy tools, leading to a decrease in available loanable funds and consequently prompting banks to be selective in extending credit. Overall, the policy indicates a consensus among policymakers and the central bank governor that domestic inflation pressures are expected to gradually ease, and economic growth momentum in the latter half of the year will slow down.
