[Reporter Zheng Qifang/Reported from Taipei] Taiwan stocks have been timid recently, and legislators are concerned about whether the 50,000-point mark can be broken. In response to this, Finance Minister Zhuang Cuiyun said, "I am not a stock market forecaster."

The Finance Committee of the Legislative Yuan today invited Zhuang Cuiyun, the head of the Ministry of Finance and the chairman and general manager of state-owned enterprises to attend the business report. Kuomintang legislator Luo Mingcai asked that the Taiwan stock market has been strong recently, but every time the Taiwan stock market reaches 50,000 points, it is "cowardly" and has been unable to break through. It has even become a foreign cash machine. Can the Taiwan stock market break through 50,000 points? Zhuang Cuiyun responded: "I am not a stock market forecaster. The committee members are more professional in this area than me."
