Taiwanese Treasury officials are considering offering inflation-linked bonds amid growing fears of inflation.
The government originally planned to launch bonds linked to a consumer price index in 2007, but the economic crisis halted developments until now, reports the Economic Daily News.
The idea is based on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (Tips), as seen in the US, UK and Japan. The government hopes that fears of inflation will make the paper attractive to investors.
It was also reported that the Treasury is looking at products linked to the swap rate.
