Taiwan Economic Outlook
October 17, 2017
Leading data suggests economic momentum persisted in the third quarter. The all-important external sector rounded off a quarter of strong export growth as shipments overseas soared to the best pace in nearly seven years in September. The upturn in exports reflects robust foreign demand for Taiwanese manufactured products, particularly electronics, which in turn continues to buttress activity in the domestic economy. Upbeat external dynamics, coupled with a small acceleration in real wage growth and buoyant equity prices, is also boosting confidence. Consumer and business sentiment logged their best readings in nearly two years in September. With the pipeline of new electronics product launches now in full swing, the external sector is expected to carry over its momentum into the fourth quarter and continue supporting overall growth. GDP growth is, however, expected to moderate due to an unfavorable base effect.Taiwan Economy Data

Taiwan Economic Growth
October 17, 2017
The economy is expected to grow at a stable clip next year as government consumption turns more supportive on the back of higher public-sector wages and the ramp-up of public fixed investment linked to the country’s Forward-Looking Infrastructure Plan. This will offset moderating growth in exports, which will be affected by a strong base effect and maturing economic cycles in advanced economies. FocusEconomics panelists foresee GDP growth of 2.2% next year, which is up 0.1 percentage points from last month’s estimate. For 2019, the panel also expects growth to clock in at 2.2%.Taiwan Economic News
