Taiwan’s export orders soared for 4 months in a row

Here are the key regions which drove the momentum.

According to BBVA Research, Taiwan’s December export orders grew for a fourth straight month on an over-year basis, increasing by 8.5% y/y (consensus: 10.0% y/y) after a strong pickup in November (11.1% y/y).

Here’s more:

On balance, export orders showed a marked improvement in Q4 compared with the first three quarters of 2012 (7.6% y/y in Q4 vs. -1.1% y/y from Jan-Sep). Orders for information & communication products grew by double-digit rates, on a surge in demand from Europe. For the whole year of 2012, orders from ASEAN, the US and Europe reached all time highs in value terms. Looking ahead, export orders are expected to improve further in 2013 given an expected recovery in external demand.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
