Taiwan's export orders rise 18.2 per cent in July =
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 20 - 08 - 2010


Taiwan's export orders grew 18.23 per cent
year-on-year in July, slightly more slowly than in the preceding
month, as demand waned in the wake of uncertainties over the global
recovery, DPA quoted the Economics Ministry as saying Friday.
July's export orders shed 4.25 percentage points compared with
June's 22.48-per-cent year-on-year growth, with orders from the
Chinese and European markets reducing slightly, the ministry said.
In July, the island received foreign orders worth 33.83 billion US
dollars. That amount represented an increase of 5.22 billion US
dollars over the same period last year, but a reduction of 390
million US dollars from June's 34.22 billion US dollars, it said.
Orders from China, including Hong Kong, increased 10.84 per cent
year-on-year to 9.07 billion US dollars, compared with June's
15.54-per-cent year-on-year growth.
The US followed with orders of 7.48 billion US dollars, up 20.29
per cent from a year earlier. The European Union logged 5.3 billion
US dollars, up 11.63 per cent, compared with June's 25.69 per cent,
the ministry said.
In its forecast for the island's 2010 export growth Thursday, the
Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics said
Taiwan's exports were expected to be dampened by the European credit
crisis and property market bubbles in some emerging economies.
Yet strong demand for high-tech products from China, which has
signed a semi-free trade agreement with Taiwan, as well as from the
United States and developing nations in Asia, should support exports,
it added.
Export orders indicate deliveries three months in advance and are
considered a key economic indicator.
Taiwan's economy depends on exports, more than 40 per cent of
which go to China.
