Description

Taiwan's real Gross Domestic Product (Real GDP) quarter-on-quarter growth rate, released by the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS), measures the country's short-term economic growth. It assesses Taiwan's economic performance by comparing the current quarter's GDP with the previous quarter's GDP, after adjusting for inflation. Positive growth typically indicates economic expansion, while negative growth may signal a contraction.

The data is updated quarterly. Preliminary estimates are released approximately one month after the end of each quarter, while final estimates are released around two months later.

AI Data Insight

Taiwan's unadjusted real GDP growth rate for the first quarter of 2026 fell to -3.61% quarter-on-quarter, turning negative from 8.16% in the previous quarter, reflecting the traditional off-season effect of the Lunar New Year. However, contrasted with external institutions' estimates of high double-digit year-on-year growth, driven by robust exports of AI chips and servers, the actual economic momentum in the first quarter has far outperformed the same periods in historical years.
