For the second quarter in a row, we are cutting back our GDP growth prediction for Taiwan in 2012. We now expect growth of only 1.6%, compared to 2.2% beforehand. Lower exports, a lull in investment, and signs of internal divisions and policy drift within the Taipei government have all played a part. A significant change on last quarter is that foreign trade prospects are decidedly gloomier. In our last report we expected total trade (imports + exports) to grow by 0.9% in 2012. In contrast, we are now predicting a contraction of 3.25%. The recovery cycle will eventually kick in, but we are saying it has in effect been pushed back to 2013, when we are expecting GDP growth of 4.2% (was 5.1%).
