Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act of 2025

This bill tells the United States to push for fair treatment of Taiwan at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It directs the U.S. representative at the IMF to support Taiwan’s membership if Taiwan seeks it, to include Taiwan in regular IMF economic checkups, to allow qualified Taiwan nationals to work at the IMF, and to provide Taiwan with technical help and training. It also says the U.S. should not discourage Taiwan from applying to join. These steps would end if Taiwan is admitted to the IMF or after 10 years, whichever comes first. The Treasury Secretary must report efforts each year for seven years during required testimony. A one-year waiver is allowed if it would help reach the goal of meaningful participation for Taiwan in international financial institutions.

The bill is based on findings that Taiwan has a large, connected economy and is active in global trade, even though it is not currently an IMF member. It notes Taiwan’s past ties to the IMF and long-standing U.S. policy to support Taiwan’s role in international groups.

• Who is affected: Taiwan, the U.S. representative at the IMF, and the U.S. Treasury.
• What changes: The U.S. must actively back Taiwan’s IMF membership and participation, support jobs for Taiwan nationals at the IMF, and provide technical assistance. Annual testimony on these efforts is required for seven years. A limited waiver is possible.
• When it takes effect: The requirements last until Taiwan joins the IMF or for up to 10 years after the law takes effect.
