According to Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), orders for Taiwanese exports jumped 21.1% from a year earlier to US$51.6 billion in February of 2021, accelerating from an 11.7 % rise in the previous month and beating the expectations of a 12.75% % increase.
Orders remained robust for electronic products (31.6 %) and for information & communication products (29.7 %). Orders from the US jumped 23.5 %, followed by a 22.3% rise in orders from Europe, while those from its main trading partner China were up 17.6%.
Huang Yu-ling, head of the MOEA's Department of Statistics, told reporters that the increase in Taiwan's export orders in February, also represented 24 straight months of growth. This can be attributed to an improvement in the supply of raw materials and robust demand for new emerging technologies such as 5G, high-performance computing and emerging applications.
