The robust performance was driven by strong global demand for Taiwan&#8217;s electronic components and ICT exports. The economy is projected to continue outperforming in 2026, with a GDP growth forecast of 3.5%, potentially increasing to around 5%, notes Ho Woei Chen, CFA, from UOB.<\/p>\n<h2>Export demand fuels growth outlook<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;The sustained strength in export demand suggests that Taiwan\u2019s economy could continue to outperform this year.
