Looking at Taiwan before the crisis arrived, the island's continuing export growth, successful industrial restructuring and consistently prosperous economy meant that by any criterion there should have been no reason at all for the NT dollar to depreciate.
以台灣來說，在風暴未起前，憑著出口持續擴張、產業轉型成功、景氣維持榮景，台幣從任何標準評估，都絕無貶值的道理。
