  "account": "DBS Group Research economist Ma Tieying examines Taiwan’s macroeconomic outlook, noting a robust AI sector, diverse energy imports, and shifting tariff dynamics with the US. The report predicts a deceleration in GDP growth from around 12% year-on-year to high-single digits from the fourth quarter of 2026. Full-year projections for 2026 and 2027 GDP growth stand at 11.6% and 5.6%, respectively. Inflation is forecasted to hover near 2.5% in the fourth quarter of 2026. Despite some moderation, GDP growth is expected to remain on track with expectations. The full-year forecasts for GDP growth in 2026 and 2027 are 11.6% and 5.6%, respectively. CPI inflation is projected to remain close to 2.5% in the fourth quarter of 2026 and 2.0% and 2.1% for 2026 and 2027, respectively. Taiwan has managed the global environment effectively thus far, propelled by strong AI exports and investments, a diversified energy import strategy, and efforts to manage higher energy costs. Normalization is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026 and 2027 as the AI-driven growth surge subsides and domestic energy prices adjust.",
