Yu Kuo-hwa (Chinese:俞國華; January 10, 1914 – October 4, 2000) was a Taiwanese economist who served as thePremier of the Republic of China from 1984 to 1989.
Yu was born on 10 January 1914 inFenghua,Ningbo,Zhejiang,China. After graduating fromTsinghua University in 1934 with a bachelor's degree inpolitical science, he served as an aide toChiang Kai-shek. Yu then earned a graduate degree in economics atHarvard University, where he studied from 1944 to 1946, and theLondon School of Economics, where he studied finance from 1946 to 1947.[1]
He was appointed asMinister of Finance on 29 November 1967 and became Governor of theCentral Bank of China in 1969.
As Premier, Yu was responsible for ending Taiwan's 38 years ofmartial law in 1987.[2][3] In October 1988, he walked out of a meeting of theLegislative Yuan, the first time a government official had done so, as extensive debate made it impossible for Yu to deliver his reports.[4] He died from complications from leukemia at 4pm on 4 October 2000 at the Veterans' General Hospital inTaipei.[5]
Yu was preceded bySun Yun-suan and succeeded byLee Huan.
