The ministry will sponsor roadshows in London, Amsterdam, Milan, Frankfurt, Zurich and Paris from June 25 to July 4, it said. The delegation will be led by Finance Minister Yen Ching-chang and include other government officials as well as chief executives from 12 high-technology and financial firms, such as United Microelectronics Corp 2303.TW, Quanta Computer 2382.TW, VIA Technologies 2388.TW and China Development Industrial Bank 2804.TW, it said. Similar roadshows will head to the United States and Asia in August, it said. The decision to have the roadshow was taken quickly following President Chen Shui-bian's weekend call to push ahead on several fronts to ease a credit crunch on industry and stimulate the faltering economy, it added. The government would take steps to attract more foreign investment, stimulate the economy and create jobs, the statement quoted Chen as saying. Chen's comments came after the government said on Friday the gross domestic product fell in the January-March period fell to the lowest level in 26 years, forcing the country to lower its full-year 2001 economic growth forecast for the fourth time.
