Taiwan reported a big bounce in gross domestic product for the third quarter on Thursday. But figures from Singapore and the Philippines indicated possible weakness, underscoring the uncertain prospects of Asia’s mid-sized economies.
Taipei said its economy, powered by exports, expanded by 8.3 per cent between July and September on a quarter-on-quarter, seasonally adjusted, annualised basis. The rise was below the rate of the previous quarter but well above market estimates.
