  "account": "Taiwan's robust export performance, driven by AI-related ICT and electronics, has contributed significantly to Q4 expansion, according to Commerzbank's Lay and Hao. The country's Central Bank raised its GDP forecasts, anticipating a sustained technology investment cycle. September saw export orders surge by 62.4% year-on-year to a record USD114.2bn, slightly above consensus estimates, with growth moderating from the 71.4% in August. This marked the 20th consecutive month of annual growth, with Q3 orders reaching a record USD315.1bn, up 65.0% year-on-year. Despite the impressive numbers, the strong export performance alone is unlikely to prompt further monetary tightening from the Central Bank of the Republic of China, which maintains a wait-and-see stance on rates as the USD/TWD climbs on capital outflows and wider rate differentials.",
