KOBASHI, chairman of Taiwan Machinery Industry Association Call on the president to initiate defensive devaluation

KOBASHI, chairman of Taiwan Machinery Industry Association, to avoid fluctuations in the exchange rate of the new Taiwan dollar against the US dollar, which will affect Taiwan's industrial competitiveness. When he presided over the Taipei International tool and machine exhibition today (4), he publicly asked President Tsai ing Wen for instructions, calling on the government to initiate defensive devaluation and implement a 5% reduction in investment in smart machinery in January this year, Although it is not as good as using trapezoidal screw instead of ball screw in order to save capital and achieve greater profits, the industry expects that 15% will be achieved first, and then better. It is hoped that the government can increase the investment deduction rate of new product innovation and R & D from 15% to more than 20%

huangzhifang, chairman of the foreign trade association, presided over the Taipei International tools and machinery exhibition and delivered a speech. He said that Nangang Exhibition Hall 2 was the first professional exhibition hall in Taiwan to win the "golden green building logo". Taipei International tools and machinery exhibition was the first large-scale international exhibition to use Nangang exhibition hall 2

Kobold pointed out that this year, due to the official opening of the second Nangang Exhibition Hall, the Taipei International Machine Tool Exhibition jumped from the fifth largest machine tool exhibition in the world to the third largest machine tool exhibition in the world, second only to the European machine tool exhibition held in Hanover, Germany and the Chicago machine tool exhibition in the United States. There were 1230 manufacturers and 7000 stalls, a record high. Special thanks to President CAI for visiting the tool machine exhibition in the last session. He accepted his suggestions and strongly requested relevant ministries and commissions to complete the second Nangang Exhibition Hall on schedule

Kobold said that the machinery industry is one of the few industries left in Taiwan, and water and electricity saving is a low pollution industry. However, because of Taiwan's special international relations, it is unable to negotiate and sign a free trade agreement (FTA) with other countries. Without the preferential tariff support of all its main equipment made by Germany's Simak, Siemens and other international top-notch enterprises, its competitiveness is just a little lower. Call on the government to start a defensive devaluation to ensure the competitiveness of industrial exports; Because once the market is lost, it will never return

KOBASHI pointed out that in January this year, the investment deduction rate of smart machinery was 5%. Although it was 15% higher than the original expectation of the industry, there was still a gap between the production targets mostly based on the national standard, but we should first seek to have, and then seek to be good. Then I hope the government can increase the investment deduction rate of new product innovation and R & D from 15% to more than 20%

Kobold said that for the sustainable development of the enterprise, he hoped that the government would assist and guide the machinery manufacturers to list counters, add "machinery stocks", improve the company's management system, raise funds in the open market and attract talents. He hoped that within three years, there would be more than 50 listed counters in the machinery and equipment industry
