Taiwan's industrial production surge 4.6%

It exceeded market expectations.

According to BBVA Research, Taiwan’s IP increased by 4.6% in October, from 3.0% in September, higher than market expectations (consensus: 2.6%).

Here's more from BBVA Research:

The improved production was mainly driven by the manufacturing sector, implying increasing demand for Taiwan’s electronics. The trend is likely to continue - at least in the near future - given the improved performance on a sequential basis in Taiwan’s export orders (a forward-looking indicator).

Retail sales also accelerated to 2.0% from 0.4% in September, indicating improving consumer sentiment. Finally, the “final” reading of Q3 GDP came out at 0.98% y/y, in line with the preliminary estimate (1.02%) released at the end of October. Taken together, the data released today suggests that growth momentum of Taiwan’s economy is stabilizing.

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.
