Taiwan's Central Bank Governor Warns of AI Sector Bubble

July 10, 2026Diego Herrera1 мин

The Governor of Taiwan's Central Bank, Yang Chin-long, stated before Parliament today that while the growth driven by Artificial Intelligence is substantial, the entire sector is at risk of developing into a bubble.

AI has emerged as Taiwan's primary economic driver. However, the central bank will be closely monitoring the risks associated with speculative investments, particularly those funded by the "aggressive" borrowing of technology companies, according to Reuters.

During the central bank's quarterly meeting in June, its board did not deem the inflationary pressures stemming from the AI boom significant enough to warrant an interest rate hike. This decision, however, was not unanimous. Following a re-evaluation of the sector's volatility, it appears the central bank governor's perspective has shifted, or at least adopted a more cautious stance.

Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, frequently visits the island, a major hub for AI chip manufacturing. He remains optimistic about future prospects, despite the surge in raw material costs.
