Taiwan exports tick up 3.2% in October

Question now is: Can it be sustained?

According to BBVA, Taiwan export orders improved in October, surprising to the upside with a 3.2% increase y/y (BBVA and consensus: 0.2%) from 1.9% y/y in September.

"The better-than-expected outturn is partially driven by solid demand from the US and more surprisingly, a jump in orders from Europe. Orders from ASEAN countries remain resilient as well," said BBVA.

"The coming holiday season will likely provide a boost to Taiwan’s export industry, but whether the recent trend is sustainable remains unclear given the uncertainties over the European debt crisis and concerns regarding the 'fiscal cliff' in the US," it added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
