Taiwan’s export success: strong high-tech performance
Taiwan’s export industry shows impressive strength with a 20.8 percent increase in orders in December. The high-tech semiconductor industry remains the main driver of this success, particularly due to robust demand from the US and ASEAN countries. Despite subdued orders from China, Taiwan is successfully repositioning itself in global supply chains.
Taiwanese technology companies clearly ahead
The increasing spread of AI technologies is opening up promising prospects for Taiwanese global market leaders. Institutional investors underline this positive assessment: an analysis of 1,600 actively managed equity funds in Asia assigns outstanding importance to Taiwanese technology companies.
The export economy thus demonstrates its resilience and innovative strength in the dynamic global technology market.
Copper market with optimistic signals
The copper price has shown a positive trend since the beginning of the year, rising by around six percent on the London Metal Exchange (LME). Hopeful economic signals from China, the world’s largest copper consumer, are driving expectations.
Chinese industrial production significantly exceeds forecasts

Production capacities are being strategically expanded, which points to dynamic economic development. The rapprochement with international trade markets and preparations for possible tariff changes demonstrate the flexibility of the Chinese economy.
