Fiscal Balance in Taiwan
Taiwan - Fiscal Balance
Annual economic growth accelerated for the second consecutive time in the third quarter, as government spending ramped up and private consumption growth accelerated slightly, supported by stronger loan growth. On the external front, exports of goods and services increased at a robust pace, defying the wider global trade slowdown. Turning to the fourth quarter, however, the economy seems set for a slowdown. Tourist arrivals from mainland China were down almost 50% in September compared to the same month a year earlier, which contrasted a small increase in August and was due to the Chinese government’s decision to curb tourist visits to Taiwan amid poor cross-strait relations. Moreover, the manufacturing PMI fell in October, pointing to weaker business activity, after the PMI momentarily rebounded for the first time in 11 months in September.Taiwan - Fiscal Balance Data
