Treasury said on Friday it found that no major U.S. trading
partners had manipulated their currencies for an export
advantage and ended "enhanced analysis" for Switzerland after
the country met only one of three manipulation criteria.
In its semi-annual currency report, the department said
Switzerland remains on a "monitoring list" for close attention
to foreign exchange and economic policies, along with six other
trading partners: China, Taiwan, South Korea, Germany, Malaysia
and Singapore.
Taiwan's central bank responded that its communication channels
with the U.S. Treasury were "smooth".
"In the future, the two sides will continue to communicate on
issues such as overall economic and exchange rate policies on
the basis of good interactions," it said.
