The Central Bank of Taiwan published July check clearing data showing that 4.3 million checks worth TWD 1.15 trillion were cleared. Volume fell 11.14% from June, while value declined 1.21%, primarily because July had one month-end peak clearing day compared with two in the previous month. Insufficient-funds checks totaled 3,202, or 0.08% of cleared checks, up 0.01 percentage point. Their value was TWD 3.4 billion, or 0.29% of the total cleared value, down 0.01 percentage point, reflecting fewer dishonored checks from accounts with aggregate dishonored values of at least TWD 100 million. Corporate accounts' share of dishonored-check volume fell 1.23 percentage points, while their share by value rose 9.67 percentage points, with personal accounts moving in the opposite directions by similar amounts.
