Economists warn Taiwan’s 11% growth outlook may not last

They cite risks from a potential capex slowdown, broader macro weakness, and Taiwan’s heavy concentration in semiconductors.

CNBC Markets reports economists are questioning the durability of Taiwan’s AI-fueled economic growth outlook that targets 11% GDP growth.

According to the report, the concern is that Taiwan’s expansion could moderate if capital expenditure slows, if the broader macroeconomic environment weakens, or if the economy faces a downturn.

The outlet also points to Taiwan’s semiconductor concentration as a vulnerability, implying that growth driven by the AI and chip cycle could be more prone to swings than a more diversified expansion.
