Article Abstract:
The new Taiwan dollar (NT dollar) is considered stable as it lacks the volatility of other Asian currencies. The Taiwan government is committed to keeping the NT dollar stable in regards to the US dollar. The NT dollar traded in a range of NT$24.5 to NT$27.98 per US dollar in the period of 1990 to 1996. After depreciating in the wake of Chinese military aggression in 1996, the government bolstered the NT dollar to keep it stable.
