Taiwan’s exports have expanded for more than two consecutive years, driven mainly by demand across server, semiconductor and other supply chains supporting artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing and cloud services. The Ministry of Finance said continued growth in technology applications was sustaining export momentum, making overseas shipments an important pillar of Taiwan’s economic growth.
The ministry said February exports reached $49.8 billion, up 20.6% from a year earlier and the highest level ever recorded for the month. The result also marked a 28th consecutive month of growth. Strong demand for AI and high-performance computing also pushed cumulative exports in the first two months of the year to a record for the period.
