تايوان معدل النمو السنوي للناتج المحلي الاجمالي

Taiwan on Wednesday unexpectedly raised its 2025 economic growth forecast to 3.6%, up from 3.14%, following a strong first-quarter performance driven by a surge in exports, particularly in tech, ahead of potential U.S. import tariffs. The economy expanded 5.37% yoy during the first three months of the year, the fastest since Q1 2024. Strong production, exports, and investment, fueled by AI-driven demand, contributed to the growth. "First-half expectations are revised up, but there are more uncertainties for the second half," said Wang Tsui-hua of the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics. Quarter-on-quarter, the economy grew at a seasonally adjusted 9.67%. This boost comes after U.S. President Trump paused plans for sweeping tariffs, allowing for ongoing negotiations. Taiwan's tech firms reported strong demand, particularly driven by AI applications.
