Taiwan GDP grows 2.1% in Q2

But exports posted the slowest growth in three quarters.

Taiwan posted a 2.1% YoY GDP growth, slower than Q1's 2.6%.

On a quarter-to-quarter basis, the GDP growth fell to 0.6% to 3.8%.

In a report by DBS Equity Research, exports of goods and services grew 5% in Q2, but it was the slowest in three quarters.

The country's gross capital formation also increased by a marginal 0.1%, whilst private consumption stood still at 2%.

Imports grew slower than exports at 4.3%. Net exports were able to contribute 0.9 ppt to GDP growth for the quarter.

“There is no change in our view that the economy will regain momentum in 2H17. Among the leading indicators, export orders returned to double-digit growth in June. Consumer confidence has also risen from the bottom, reaching a four-month high of 78.2 in July,” said DBS analysts.

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.
