Taiwan export orders stumble hard in February

14.5% yoy decline almost reversed January increase.

BBVA reports that Taiwan export orders disappointed to the downside. February export orders fell by -14.5% y/y (consensus: -3.0%) after an 18.0% jump in January. More than half of the decline was accounted by a fall in orders from China and Japan of more than -20% y/y.

"The outturn is a reminder of the still-weak external demand environment, despite improving export trends in China (which rose by 23.6% y/y in January/February),” said BBVA.

"That said, the February export orders data should be taken with a grain of salt given distortions from the Chinese New Year timing, and given that orders for the January/February period still increased by +1.1% y/y, even after the disappointing February outturn," it said further.

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.
