Taiwan Government Implements Organizational Restructuring in Ministry of Economic Affairs to Boost Industrial Competitiveness

In a significant move to enhance Taiwan's industrial competitiveness, the Legislative Yuan has passed the amendment to the Organization Act of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, as part of the government's organizational restructuring efforts. The Ministry of Economic Affairs will establish five new agencies, as highlighted in the recent legislative approval.

The transformation aims to adapt to the diverse development of industries and elevate Taiwan's competitive edge in the global market. Among the changes, the Department of Commerce will be upgraded to the Bureau of Business Development (name to be confirmed). This upgrade signifies the government's commitment to providing increased resources and support for businesses, ultimately enhancing Taiwan's international competitiveness.

Furthermore, the Bureau of Mines and Central Geological Survey will merge into the newly formed Geological Survey and Mining Management Center. This integration will streamline operations and bolster efficiency in geological investigations and mining management.

Additionally, several existing agencies will undergo reformation. The Bureau of Industrial Development, Bureau of Foreign Trade, Bureau of Energy, and Small and Medium Enterprise Administration will be restructured into independent agencies. These changes are expected to empower these agencies with greater autonomy and resources to address the evolving needs of industries, energy management, and the development of small and medium-sized enterprises.

The establishment of these agencies aligns with the government's vision to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and boost sustainable economic growth. The newly formed agencies will play crucial roles in policy planning, implementation, and research in key areas such as business development, industrial growth, international trade, energy management, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises.

By introducing this comprehensive restructuring, the Ministry of Economic Affairs aims to optimize its organizational structure and increase the effectiveness of policy execution. The government seeks to promote a business-friendly environment, foster innovation, and drive economic growth while ensuring a sustainable future.

These changes, supported by the Legislative Yuan's approval, reflect the government's commitment to enhancing Taiwan's industrial competitiveness and positioning the country as a leader in the global marketplace.
