Taiwan Likely to Maintain Robust GDP Growth Through 3Q

Dow Jones07-16 11:44

0344 GMT - Taiwan should maintain above-trend GDP growth through 3Q before activity begins to normalize from 4Q onward, DBS economist Ma Tieying says in a note. DBS projects the island's 3Q growth to remain around 10% on year before moderating to a more sustainable pace of around 4% from 4Q. Ma notes that Taiwan's exports have approached a cyclical peak, as U.S.-bound exports, which are closely linked to AI demand, have shown clear signs of cooling,while stronger shipments to Asean economies have provided a partial offset. The island's inflation will likely remain sticky, reflecting delayed cost pass-through and improving domestic demand. DBS raises its 2026 and 2027 inflation forecasts to 2.0% and 2.1%, respectively, from 1.9% and 1.8%. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
