The National Development Council says Taiwan is aiming for 4.56% economic
growth this year ... driven by AI and investment

NDC officials say domestic and international forecasters have recently
revised Taiwan's growth outlook for this year to above four percent.

They say two key drivers include the conclusion of Taiwan–U-S tariff talks,
and continued expansion in capital spending by global cloud service
providers—boosting demand for Taiwan's A-I and semiconductor supply chains.

The council's baseline forecast puts growth at about four-point-one-one
percent ....

.... but the government plans to lift it further through increased public
spending, stronger private investment, higher consumer demand, as well as
growth in net exports.

If successful, officials say these policies could add about
zero-point-four-five percentage points, helping Taiwan reach the new growth
target.

The council also expects per-capita G-D-P to reach around forty-two thousand
one hundred and seventy U-S dollars.
