台湾广义M2货币供应量在上月增长6.2%后，于2024年8月同比增长5.8%，达到631790亿新台币，主要是由于资本净流出。考虑到今年前八个月，累计年均增长率为5.94%。

Broad M2 Money Supply in Taiwan increased by 5.8% year-on-year to TWD 63,179 billion in August 2024, following a 6.2% rise in the previous month, mainly due to net capital outflows. Considering the first eight months of the year, the cumulative average annual growth rate was 5.94%.

台湾共和国中央银行在2024年9月的会议上将其关键贴现率保持在2%不变，符合市场预期。政策制定者表示，维持目前的利率将支持整体经济和金融稳定的稳定发展。2024年1月至8月，居民消费价格平均上涨2.32%，核心CPI年均增长1.97%。该行预计，下半年通胀将略有缓解，预计年CPI增长率为2.16%，核心CPI为1.94%，均低于此前预测的2.49%和2.58%。与此同时，在出口强劲增长、资本设备进口大幅增加以及私人投资和消费强劲势头的推动下，本行预计下半年经济增长率为1.99%，全年为3.82%，但与上一时期相比，比较基数有所上升，略有缓和。

2024年8月，对台湾的进口同比增长11.8%，达到321.4亿美元，低于7月16.2%的增长，低于市场预测的15%的增长。经济放缓的部分原因是矿产品采购减少（-6.9%），尤其是石油（-11.9%）。与此同时，信息、通信和视听产品（22.5%）、电子产品零件（22.2%）、机械（18.4%）和化学品（16.4%）的入境人数有所增加。在主要供应商中，来自中东（26.1%）、东盟国家（19.8%）、日本（9.7%）、欧洲（5.6%）和中国及香港（1.3%）的采购量有所增加，而来自美国（-10.5%）的到货量有所下降。考虑到1月至8月，进口量比去年同期增长了9.3%。

Imports to Taiwan advanced 11.8% year-on-year to USD 32.14 billion in August 2024, easing from a 16.2% growth in July and less than market forecasts of a 15% jump.
