2017 Forecast: Is Taiwan on the Road to Recovery? by Jane Rickardson
Last year Taiwan posted the lowest GDP growth rate – 0.75% – since the global financial crisis. Taiwan also suffered three consecutive quarters of negative growth, from the second half of 2015 through the first quarter of 2016. Now, however, the economy is showing definite (if still not robust) improvement. The second quarter this year saw a return to positive territory with growth of 0.7% year-on-year and third-quarter results were even stronger at 2.06%, according to the government’s Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics. DGBAS is now forecasting growth of between 2% and 2.5% for the second half of this year, with GDP expanding by 1.22% for the year as a whole and 1.88% projected for 2017.
The forecasts of other financial and research institutions vary widely. Barclays, the British bank, puts GDP growth this year at 1.1%, based largely on what it sees as better-than-expected iPhone7 sales. For 2017, it expects GDP growth in Taiwan of 1.7%, helped along by a low baseline effect. The Chung-hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER), a government-sponsored think tank, forecasts GDP growth of 1.08% this year and 1.81% in 2017.
Still, uncertainties remain about the impact on Taiwan of the Chinese economy more generally, as the mainland seeks to rebalance and move towards a consumption-based services economy. China’s overheated property market and debt expansion are among the causes for concern. Phoo, however, says China’s economy can be expected to stabilize, and while Barclays predicts a moderate slowdown in China, it does not foresee a hard landing.
Economists also worry about China’s so-called “red supply chain” – an import-substitution strategy adopted by Beijing that makes it difficult for Taiwanese exporters to stay competitive in that market. TIER’s Sun says that China has largely caught up with Taiwan in the supply of petrochemicals and machinery, a main reason for sliding export numbers for Taiwan in those sectors, and only Taiwan’s ICT products are still global standouts. Taiwanese and Chinese companies once had a complementary relationship, with Taiwan taking orders from Western branded companies and doing the high-end manufacturing, while outsourcing the lower-end production to China. But now many Taiwanese and Chinese companies have become competitors.

A large portion of the core downtown is blocked off to make room for a monster sized stage. All of the biggest names in music and the big screen take a turn at entertaining the massive crowds.
