Taiwan's industrial production surge 4.6%

It exceeded market expectations.

According to BBVA Research, Taiwan’s IP increased by 4.6% in October, from 3.0% in September, higher than market expectations (consensus: 2.6%).

Here's more from BBVA Research:

The improved production was mainly driven by the manufacturing sector, implying increasing demand for Taiwan’s electronics. The trend is likely to continue - at least in the near future - given the improved performance on a sequential basis in Taiwan’s export orders (a forward-looking indicator).

Retail sales also accelerated to 2.0% from 0.4% in September, indicating improving consumer sentiment. Finally, the “final” reading of Q3 GDP came out at 0.98% y/y, in line with the preliminary estimate (1.02%) released at the end of October. Taken together, the data released today suggests that growth momentum of Taiwan’s economy is stabilizing.

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.
