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.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
