REF: TAIPEI 287
1. As part of Taiwan's campaign of name rectification (reftel),on
February 10, Taiwan's central bank changed the English name on its
website (http://www.cbc.gov.tw) by dropping "China." Its Chinese
name remains unchanged as "Zhongyang Yinhang." Its old and new
English names follow:
Old Name:
"Central Bank of China [first line] Republic of China (Taiwan)
[second line]"
New Name:
"Central Bank [first line] of the Republic of China (Taiwan) [second
line]"
2. The Taiwan Central Bank (TCB) has not changed its English name
used in its correspondence with foreign banking institutions, but
plans to do so in the near future. A senior official of TCB told
AIT/T that the new English name should have no adverse effects on
its relationship with international financial institutions. The
official said that other mergers and acquisitions have led to name
changes, but have never brought any difficulty. He noted that the
name was changed to avoid confusion between the TCB and its PRC
counterpart.
