Summary
Taiwan’s 2026 growth outlook was lifted to 9.4% from 6.9%, while Fitch also raised its 2027 forecast to 4.8% from 4.0% at a July 21 forum in Taipei.
Fitch said the US-Iran conflict is expected to have only limited effects on Taiwan, supporting the sharper upgrade to the island’s near-term economic outlook.
The revisions point to stronger momentum carrying into 2027 as well, though growth is still forecast to slow from the elevated 2026 pace.
