台湾周三出人意料地将其2025年经济增长预测从3.14%上调至3.6%,此前在美国可能征收进口关税之前,出口(尤其是科技)激增推动了第一季度的强劲表现。今年前三个月,经济同比增长5.37%,为2024年第一季度以来的最快增速。在人工智能驱动的需求推动下,强劲的生产、出口和投资为增长做出了贡献。主计处王翠华表示:“上半年预期上调,但下半年存在更多不确定性。”。经季节性调整后,经济环比增长9.67%。这一增长是在美国总统特朗普暂停全面关税计划,允许进行谈判之后出现的。台湾科技公司报告称需求强劲,特别是人工智能应用的推动。
Taiwan on Wednesday unexpectedly raised its 2025 economic growth forecast to 3.6%, up from 3.14%, following a strong first-quarter performance driven by a surge in exports, particularly in tech, ahead of potential U.S. import tariffs. The economy expanded 5.37% yoy during the first three months of the year, the fastest since Q1 2024. Strong production, exports, and investment, fueled by AI-driven demand, contributed to the growth. "First-half expectations are revised up, but there are more uncertainties for the second half," said Wang Tsui-hua of the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics. Quarter-on-quarter, the economy grew at a seasonally adjusted 9.67%. This boost comes after U.S. President Trump paused plans for sweeping tariffs, allowing for ongoing negotiations. Taiwan's tech firms reported strong demand, particularly driven by AI applications.
