 2017-01-2003:00 / Staff writer, with CNAThe legislature yesterday passed the government’s general budget proposal for fiscal year 2017, after cutting it to NT$1.97 trillion （US$62.3 billion）.During the two-week extraordinary session, opposition lawmakers put forward about 500 proposals for budget cuts, but the number was reduced to 63 during cross-caucus negotiations that were chaired by Legislative Speaker Su Jia-chyuan （蘇嘉全）.Lawmakers settled on a budget of NT$1.97 trillion, cutting 1.2 percent from the government’s proposed NT$1.99 trillion.The proposed budget has a deficit of NT$132.9 billion and an estimated NT$74 billion for principal payments on government debt, all of which the government said would be covered through loans.At the end of the session, Su commended the party caucuses and legislative staff for their efforts to process major bills, such as amendments to the Long-term Care Services Act （長期照顧服務法） and the Electricity Act （電業法）, as well as the budget bill.This was achieved though rational communication, efficiency and order among the caucuses, he said.Su’s performance over the session was praised by New Power Party （NPP） caucus convener Hsu Yung-ming （徐永明）.“Swords were drawn over this legislative session and there were even some topics that were not appropriate to handle during a special session, but we support Su’s handling of matters,” Hsu said. “Dealing with the budget, the whole process was relatively smooth.”He expressed regret that his party’s calls for more rigorous pension bonus standards had not won approval, adding that the NPP would support the Democratic Progressive Party’s （DPP） plans for military and economic development.Before the session ended, the legislature, with the DPP’s majority, rejected three budget cut proposals put forward by the KMT caucus, including a proposal to slash the Mainland Affairs Council’s （MAC） budget, which the KMT said was “not thoughtfully planned” and would not improve stagnant relations between Taiwan and China amid a cooling of cross-strait interactions.The KMT said that MAC Minister Katharine Chang （張小月） should be held responsible for the cooling of cross-strait ties since May 20 last year, when President Tsai Ing-wen （蔡英文） took office.The MAC “has obviously misjudged the situation,” the KMT caucus said, adding that the council should outline response strategies within a month and deliver a report about its misjudgement to the legislature’s Internal Administration Committee within two months.However, the budget cut proposals and the request for the MAC to submit a report were voted down by DPP legislators.The DPP controls 68 of the 113 seats in the Legislative Yuan, while the KMT has 35. The NPP has five and the People First Party has three, while the Non-Partisan Solidarity Alliance and an independent have one seat each.KMT proposals to slash the budget for the Ill-gotten Party Assets Settlement Committee and disband the committee were also rejected.The committee was established by the Cabinet in August last year based on the Statute on Handling the Inappropriate Assets of Political Parties and Their Affiliated Organizations （政黨及其附隨組織不當取得財產處理條例）. The statute was enacted by the legislature in July last year.According to the regulations, some of the KMT’s property has been frozen pending investigations into party assets.The KMT caucus also proposed cutting the Ministry of Education’s budget, which weighed in during a controversy over a phrase used by Lai He （賴和）, the father of Taiwan’s nativist literary movement, that has been cited by the Presidential Office in the spring couplets it plans to give away.The KMT said the ministry’s response amounted to education serving political goals.The next legislative session is to open after the Lunar New Year holiday ends on Feb. 1.Additional reporting by Abraham Gerber新聞來源：TAIPEI TIMES ▲喬科維奇。(圖／達志影像／美聯社) 記者張克銘／綜合報導 澳網男單賽事昨日爆出大冷門，尋求衛冕的喬科維奇(Novak Djokovic)敗給世界排名117名的烏茲別克伊斯托明(Denis Istomin)，爆冷在64強止步，前喬科維奇教練貝克(Boris Becker)，接受訪問時表示，喬科維奇打的太保守。 貝克可說是幫助喬科維奇推上巔峰的重要推手，曾一度占據長達122周的球王寶座，並在2015年4個大滿貫都打進決賽，不過去年喬科維奇在連續輸掉了溫布頓如何學英語、里約奧運、美網後，最終兩人決定分道揚鑣。 ▲貝克(右)和喬科維奇。(圖／達志影像／美聯社) 喬科維奇在澳網爆冷出局後，貝克接受訪問時表示喬科維奇比賽太過保守，貝克說：「我相當意外，他打的太保守沒有採取主動，沒有努力去爭取勝利。」貝克更表示，喬科維奇首盤就相當保守，到了第4盤更是遲鈍。 貝克也提到，喬科維奇目前的狀態相當艱困，澳網是一整年的開始，如果能夠拿下冠軍，今年就會好打許多。但喬科維奇如今提早出局，不但澳網三連霸落空，職業生涯也遭遇到考驗。 ?接收更多精彩賽事，歡迎加入《ETtoday運動雲》粉絲團 ★圖片為版權照片，由達志影像供《ETtoday東森新聞雲》專用，任何網站、報刊、電視台未經達志影像許可，不得部分或全部轉載！ 彭政閔合約簽定! 6年總值3600萬 富邦盃少棒崇學打擊血濺緊急送醫 三級跳洪珮寧世大運瞄準全國紀錄 6年約留兄弟恰恰：我要在這退 富邦洋將大逆轉歐布萊恩真加盟 申皓瑋不會上一軍葉總：除非我完全不會英文受不了 塞爾維亞盼復仇澳洲團隊戰力高 過年包紅包給老婆？陳偉殷：沒錢包 衛少明星賽落選林書豪驚訝 發球機模擬情境兄弟學英文會話練捕手新招 澳網／黑馬沒贊助自己去Uniqlo 林明杰相中12號新球季多益補習班爭取出賽 富邦春訓基地將作為二軍比賽場地？ 先發潛力股楊志龍目標站穩一軍 工商時報【呂清郎╱台北報導】 根據EPFR Global統計至11日全球資金流向，資金搶進新興市場債，美元計價創2016年10月底以來單周最大買超近7.7億美元，美元計價新興市場債券基金，獲連續3周買超，JPM新興主權債反彈至17日已有3.17％漲幅，川普政策支撐商品價格，經濟紛紛好線上學英文發音轉，短期新興債偏多看法不變，中期留意川普政策動向。 日盛全球新興債券基金經理人陳勇徵表示，美國總統川普上任，預計陸續推出相關的財政與貿易政策，勢將影響後續美國的經濟表現與美利率市場，若提出的政策強度低於預期，將提供美債價格反彈空間，有利新興債市；原油減產1月實施，油國是否確實遵守減產協議內容將受到檢視，若減產順利激勵油價，對新興國家債市將提供支撐。 群益全球新興收益債券基金經理人李忠泰指出，資金重回新興市場債ETF，使得新興市場債指數表現止跌回升。近期大宗商品價格走高，有利多數資源豐富的新興國家，加上經濟基本面出現好轉跡象，新興債具備利差優勢，有助吸引資金流入，後市表現可期。 台新新興市場債券基金經理人尹晟龢認為，隨川普上任，美國財政現況將限制其新政推行，低於預期的財政刺激計畫，將有利美債殖利率與美元回落；新興市場2017年經濟成長率可望持續優於已開發國家、原油凍產協議將使中歐與拉美等主權與企業信用狀況持續好轉，新興債後市行情看好，目前評價面仍處便宜，有利可適時布局。
