TAIPEI—Taiwan and the United States have mutually beneficial trade relations especially in technology, and the two have “smooth” communication channels and will keep talking to each other on currency issues, Taiwan’s central bank said on Saturday.

Taiwan, along with Vietnam, again exceeded the U.S. Treasury’s thresholds for possible currency manipulation and enhanced analysis under a 2015 trade law, but the department on Friday refrained from formally branding them as manipulators.
