Version 0.19 (2024-04-13 07:23:48.146000)

updates: Taiwan's export market has shifted towards the US as the largest export market due to increased demand for microchip products and AI technology. The shift is attributed to the global reorganization of electronics and ICT supply chains and the growing popularity of the AI industry. Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen has been actively working to strengthen economic ties with the US since taking office in 2016. Taiwan's export orders experienced a 1% increase in November, marking the first growth in 15 months. Taiwan's total export figure for 2023 is expected to reach US$400 billion, its third-highest level ever. Taiwan's exports declined by 4.5% year-on-year in October, with weak iPhone sales being a major contributing factor. Taiwan's hi-tech sector has been affected by the decline in exports, but there has been a growing demand for semiconductor chips linked to artificial intelligence. Taiwan expects investments of US$7.3 billion in artificial intelligence (AI) in 2024. Taiwan's exports expanded for a third straight month in January with year-on-year growth of 18.1%. China's gallium export volume for December reached the highest level since July.

Version 0.14 (2024-01-22 10:54:31.307000)

updates: Taiwan's export orders declined by 16% in December, with a 15.9% decline for the full year 2023 compared to 2022. Major world central banks are unlikely to lower interest rates in the first two to three months of 2024 due to lingering inflation. Overseas commitments to buy Taiwan's consumer electronics eased 12.9% in December, while orders for information and communication products dropped 25.3%. US orders to Taiwan tumbled 21.6% last month, while European orders plunged by 39.4%. Analysts expect the demand for AI-related gear to strengthen in 2024.
