TAIPEI -- Yang Chin-long, who becomes Taiwan's new central bank governor on Feb. 26, will need to steer the trade-reliant island economy's monetary policy as the U.S. continues raising interest rates.
Yang will succeed veteran Gov. Perng Fai-nan, who has been in office since 1998. The change in leadership comes as world's two largest economies -- also Taiwan's top trading partners -- face their own central bank transitions.
