Taiwan industrial production inched higher by 1.9%

But the current pressure from China's slowing economy will keep Taiwan's outlook threatened.

According to BBVA Research, industrial production for August rose by 1.9% y/y (consensus: -0.6% y/y) on increasing mining and manufacturing production.

"Looking ahead, the ongoing slowdown in China will likely keep Taiwan’s IP outlook under pressure. Despite slowing growth, Taiwan’s policymakers kept interest rates on hold last week, after inflation rose sharply to 3.4% in August from 2.5% y/y in July. Also today, Taiwan reported unemployment of 4.29% for August, up marginally from 4.25% for July," BBVA Reseach said.

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.
