Taiwan's central bank doesn't ship a clean machine-readable FX feed — so this actor reaches for the next-best source-of-truth: Bank of Taiwan's state-owned daily rate CSV, the de-facto on-shore TWD quote sheet that mirrors the CBC reference rate. One pull returns the full TWD matrix (USD, JPY, EUR, CNY and 15 more vs TWD across cash, spot and seven forward tenors), then layers on best-effort CBC English-portal series for the policy rate, M1A/M1B/M2 aggregates and monthly foreign reserves. Every row is bilingual, ROC-to-Gregorian normalized, and stamped with its upstream URL.

The Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) — 央行 / Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) — publishes the official monetary aggregates, policy rate, rediscount rate, and foreign-reserve balance for the world's 21st-largest economy. Bank of Taiwan (臺灣銀行), a state-owned bank operating under Central Bank Act §13, mirrors the CBC reference exchange rates daily in a public CSV — making it functionally the FX-window quote sheet for the entire TWD market.

This actor wraps both. No third-party rewrite, no aggregator overlay. Every record links back to its upstream URL on cbc.gov.tw or rate.bot.com.tw.

Honest note on CBC policy series: fx_rates is the strong, fully-real part (parsed live from Bank of Taiwan's CSV). The CBC English-portal series (interest_rates, money_supply, foreign_reserves) are best-effort HTML table scrapes — when the CBC page renders client-side or changes layout, the actor returns a single placeholder row (value 0.0, with a note field pointing to the source URL). That placeholder row is still a macro-record and is billed as one. Consult the upstream URL for the authoritative value.

What you get

• Daily TWD FX matrix — USD, JPY, EUR, CNY, HKD, GBP, AUD, CAD, SGD, CHF, ZAR, SEK, NZD, THB, PHP, IDR, KRW, VND, MYR vs TWD. Cash + spot + 7 forward tenors (10/30/60/90/120/150/180-day) × bank-buy + bank-sell sides. ~340 quote rows per business day.
• CBC policy series (best-effort) — interest rates (policy / rediscount / accommodations), monetary aggregates (M1A, M1B, M2 year-on-year), monthly foreign-reserve balance in USD billions.
• No authentication required — both upstream sources are keyless. Bank of Taiwan's rate.bot.com.tw/xrt/flcsv/0/day returns text/csv directly; the CBC cbc.gov.tw/en/ statistics pages are server-rendered.
• ROC↔Gregorian date normalization — Taiwan emits ROC-calendar dates (民國年 — 115 = 2026). The actor normalizes to ISO YYYY-MM-DD on every record.
• Bilingual labels — every record carries both series_name_tc (Traditional Chinese) and series_name_en (English). FX records also expose currency_code (ISO 4217), quote_currency, side (buy / sell), and tenor (cash / spot / fwd_10d … fwd_180d) for downstream filtering.
• Normalized schema — one row shape across all four series types makes the output a drop-in for downstream macro pipelines.

Use cases

• On-shore TWD FX reference for FP&A / month-end close — Taiwan-based subsidiaries of multinationals need daily FX for monthly close; the Bank of Taiwan CSV is the cleanest public source.
• Full onshore TWD forward curve in one pull — cash + spot + 10d→180d forward tenors × bank-buy/bank-sell, ideal for hedging desks.
• Semiconductor supply-chain macro overlay — TSMC, MediaTek, Hon Hai all hedge / report in TWD. Daily FX matrix + CBC monetary aggregates are the macro overlay every semi-supply-chain model needs.
• APAC rates desk — pair the CBC policy rate with the BoJ and BoK siblings for a unified APAC-rate signal.
• Synthetic-cross construction — CNY/TWD vs CNY/USD (offshore), JPY/TWD vs JPY/USD — compute synthetic crosses from the on-shore TWD reference.
• Macro-economic research / AI agents — feed the normalized bilingual series into LLM-based macro briefings; the series_name_tc / series_name_en fields make this an MCP-ready data shape.

How to use

Default — pull every series

{
"data_type":"all",
"max_records":200
}

Pulls the full FX matrix from Bank of Taiwan, then the CBC interest / money-supply / foreign-reserves pages — up to 200 records total.

USD/TWD daily snapshot

{
"data_type":"fx_rates",
"currency_pair_filter":"USD/TWD",
"max_records":20
}

Bank of Taiwan's USD vs TWD quote — cash + spot + 7 forward tenors × bank-buy + bank-sell. ~18 rows per day.

CNY/TWD on-shore reference

{
"data_type":"fx_rates",
"currency_pair_filter":"CNY/TWD",
"max_records":20
}

Useful for synthetic CNY/USD crosses computed against Bank of Taiwan's on-shore TWD reference. Pairs nicely with the offshore CNH-USD quote from a separate source.

Foreign reserves only

{
"data_type":"foreign_reserves",
"date_from":"2026-01-01",
"date_to":"2026-06-01",
"max_records":50
}

Pulls the most recent foreign-reserves balance from CBC's English portal. Note: this is a best-effort scrape — on days the CBC page renders client-side, expect a single placeholder row pointing to the source URL.

Sample output

FX rate record (data_type=fx_rates):

{
"data_type":"fx_rates",
"date":"2026-06-01",
"series_name_tc":"美元/本行買入/即期",
"series_name_en":"US Dollar (USD/TWD) bank buy Spot",
"value":31.295,
"unit":"TWD",
"source_url":"https://rate.bot.com.tw/xrt/flcsv/0/day",
"currency_code":"USD",
"quote_currency":"TWD",
"side":"buy",
"tenor":"spot",
"scraped_at":"2026-06-01T14:25:18Z"
}

CBC interest-rate record (data_type=interest_rates):

{
"data_type":"interest_rates",
"date":"2026-06-01",
"series_name_tc":"利率/Rediscount Rate",
"series_name_en":"Interest rate: Rediscount Rate",
"value":2.0,
"unit":"%",
"source_url":"https://www.cbc.gov.tw/en/lp-645-2.html",
"scraped_at":"2026-06-01T14:25:19Z"
}

For interest_rates / money_supply / foreign_reserves, the output may be a single placeholder row (value 0.0 with a note field) when the CBC page renders client-side on a given day. The fx_rates series always returns the full live matrix.

FAQ

Q: Why Bank of Taiwan and not CBC for FX? A: CBC's own endpoint returns server-rendered HTML, not machine-readable rates. The state-owned Bank of Taiwan CSV mirrors the CBC reference rate and is keyless — it is the de-facto on-shore TWD quote sheet, the cleanest FX endpoint in the entire APAC cluster (no auth, no JS-render, no anti-bot).

Q: Do the interest-rate / money-supply series always return values? A: No — they're best-effort scrapes of the CBC English portal. When that page renders client-side the actor returns a single placeholder row linking to the source URL. The fx_rates series is always fully real.

Q: Are ROC dates converted? A: Yes — Taiwan government data emits ROC-calendar dates (民國年 — 115 = 2026). Every date field is normalized to ISO YYYY-MM-DD Gregorian. The source_url always points to the unmodified upstream record.

Q: Is auth required? A: No — both upstream sources are keyless. Bank of Taiwan returns text/csv directly; the CBC English statistics pages are server-rendered.

Q: What's the difference between cash, spot, and fwd_* tenors? A: cash = physical-currency banknote rate (現金匯率). spot = wire-transfer / spot settlement rate (即期匯率). fwd_NNd = N-day forward rate (遠期匯率). Bank of Taiwan publishes all three sides for major currencies; minor currencies (THB, PHP, IDR, KRW, VND, MYR, ZAR, SEK) typically only quote cash + spot.

Q: How is Traditional Chinese (繁體中文) handled? A: Every record carries series_name_tc (TC) and series_name_en (English) side-by-side. The CSV from Bank of Taiwan is UTF-8 with BOM; the actor strips the BOM and emits clean UTF-8 strings. Use lang="zh-Hant-TW" in your downstream renderer for correct font hinting (Noto Sans CJK TC is the recommended font family).

Q: How frequently is each series updated? A: Bank of Taiwan FX CSV refreshes throughout the business day. CBC interest rates are policy-event-driven — typically updated after the quarterly Board of Directors meeting. Money supply and foreign reserves are monthly, released by CBC about 25 days after month-end.
