Taiwan 5-Year Bond Yields Jump 32 Bps to 1.71%, Highest Since 2008

Summary
Taiwan’s five-year government bond yield climbed 32 basis points to 1.71%, its highest level since November 2008, as demand for local debt weakened.
Seasonal tax payments drained cash from the banking system, leaving lenders with less money to park in government bonds and pushing yields sharply higher.
Growing expectations of higher interest rates added to the selloff, reinforcing pressure on bond prices as investors adjusted to a tighter funding backdrop.
The move signals a broader tightening in Taiwan’s local money conditions, with liquidity and rate views now driving borrowing costs to levels last seen during the global financial crisis.
