Taiwan Raises 2025 GDP Forecast to 4.45% on AI Demand
Taiwan's 2025 GDP growth forecast was upgraded to 4.45%, up 1.35 percentage points from May, citing strong demand for AI hardware. That's according to new data from the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics. The booming demand for AI data centers pushed estimates up, despite concerns about 20% tariffs on other goods, and looming semiconductor tariffs known as section 232.
