At the meeting, representatives from the participating APEC economies are to discuss global and regional economic and financial outlook, among other issues, the ministry said.
The delegates would also hold discussions with representatives from the IMF, the Asian Development Bank and the APEC Business Advisory Council, the ministry said.
Chuang and her delegation are to share Taiwan’s policy experience in promoting economic growth, easing household burdens and improving tax administration, including through the use of artificial intelligence, it added.
The delegation would also discuss Taiwan’s plans to encourage private investment in digital infrastructure, as well as its efforts to promote financial innovation and financial inclusion, the ministry said.
The ministry said Taiwan would continue to participate in regional financial policy discussions and strengthen cooperation with other APEC economies to promote economic resilience and sustainable growth in the Asia-Pacific region.
Taiwan participates in APEC as a full member under the name “Chinese Taipei.”
This year’s APEC meeting, themed “Building an Asia-Pacific Community to Prosper Together,” includes some preliminary discussions today.
