Taiwan's export orders edge up amid rising China, US demand

The 1.9% rise ended 6 depressing months.

According to BBVA Research, Taiwan’s export orders increased in September by 1.9% y/y (in line with the consensus), ending six straight months of contraction.

Here's more from BBVA Research:

On a seasonally adjusted sequential basis, export orders grew by 3.9% m/m. The outturn followed recent positive exports data from China and Korea as the latest in a regional trend showing some improvement in external demand.

By country, orders from China (including Hong Kong) further accelerated to 4.8% y/y, in line with China’s recent stabilization of growth momentum. Demand from the US also increased, however European demand was negative.

The latest outturn suggests a positive outlook for Taiwan’s exports in Q4, furthering Taiwan’s rebound from this year’s second quarter, when the economy contracted by -0.2% y/y.

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.
