Central banks in Taiwan, the Philippines and Hong Kong raised interest rates today (March 23), following the US Federal Reserve’s decision. On March 22, the Fed’s rate-setters voted unanimously to raise the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 4.75–5%. It acted after a series of bank failures in the US and Europe.

Taiwan: In a surprise move, Taiwan’s central bank raised the benchmark discount rate by 12.5bp to 1.875%, the highest level since 2015.
