</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Market Review:</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Taiwan Stock Exchange Index (&#147;TAIEX&#148;) was down by -16.85% in U.S. dollar terms in October.
Local institutions and foreign investors net sold NT$5.80&nbsp;billion and NT$114.58&nbsp;billion,
respectively; while proprietary traders net bought NT$3.78&nbsp;billion. The plastic and chemical
sectors outperformed relative to the TAIEX, with an increase of 0.33% and a decrease of 2.87%
month-over-month (&#147;MoM&#148;) in NT dollar terms, respectively. On the other hand, the tourism and steel
sectors underperformed and declined 26.71% and 23.26% MoM in NT dollar terms, respectively. On the
economic front, Taiwan&#146;s Consumer Price Index (&#147;CPI&#148;) in September rose 3.09% year-over-year
(&#147;YoY&#148;). The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose to 4.12% in September, 0.19% more than last
month. According to Customs&#146; records, Taiwan&#146;s exports in September decreased by 1.6% YoY to
US$21.85&nbsp;billion; export orders in September were up by 2.82% YoY.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Fund Performance Review:</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Taiwan Fund, Inc. (the &#147;Fund&#148;) outperformed its benchmark by 0.29% in October. An overweight
position in the retail sector and an underweight position in the banking sector contributed
positively to the Fund&#146;s performance, while an overweight position in the optoelectronic sector and
an underweight position in the petrochemical sector negatively contributed to the Fund&#146;s
performance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Investment Strategy:</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Due to the recent global financial crisis, Taiwan&#146;s central bank announced emergency rate cuts by
lowering the discount rate to 3%. Moreover, in order to raise investor confidence, the government
announced that: (1)&nbsp;all deposits at financial institutions would be 100% guaranteed, and (2)&nbsp;the
implementation of the National Stabilization Fund, the purpose of which is to stabilize the market.
All these measures were aimed to ease market liquidity in early October. The historic visit from
China&#146;s Association for Relations Across Taiwan Straits (ARATS)&nbsp;led to the execution of agreements
regarding direct cross-strait transportation links and food safety. We believe that Taiwan should
benefit from growing peace with China, Taiwan&#146;s largest trading partner. The near-term benefits
brought about by the recently executed cross-Strait agreements are not likely to wholly offset the
impact of the global slowdown on Taiwan&#146;s economy. There is still a high degree of uncertainty
regarding global economic growth and corporate earnings in 2009, which will likely prevent the
index from having a sustainable rally. In the near term, cross-strait beneficiaries, especially
those that have significant operations in China should lead the rebound. It is unlikely that
technology shares will perform well given the sector&#146;s gloomy outlook and the passing of the peak
season. Therefore, we have raised the Fund&#146;s cash position in terms of sector allocation. The Fund
has a slightly overweight position in defensive technology (i.e. telecoms) and underweight
positions in cyclicals and financials.
