民間投資恐衰退 六年首見
儘管台積電（2330）近來投資動作不斷、高雄廠也將導入2奈米製程，「護國神山」投資不斷。不過，根據行政院主計總處預估，全球終端需求疲弱，連帶影響廠商投資意願，今年我國民間投資規模應可撐住5兆元，卻將是近六年來首度負成長。

English Translation
Private investment may decline for the first time in six years
Although TSMC (2330) has been making continuous investment recently, and the Kaohsiung factory will also introduce a 2nm process, the investment in "Sacred Mountain of Protecting the Country" has continued. However, according to the estimates of the Headquarters of the General Office of Accounting, the global end-user demand is weak, which will affect manufacturers' willingness to invest. This year, our country's private investment scale should be able to support 5 trillion yuan, but it will be the first negative growth in the past six years.
