FX.co ★ Taiwan’s Trade Surplus Widens to $17.91B in May, Extending External Strength

Taiwan’s trade balance strengthened in May 2026, with the surplus rising to $17.91 billion, up from $14.35 billion in April 2026. The latest figures, updated on 9 June 2026, signal a solid expansion in Taiwan’s external position over the month.

The increase of $3.56 billion in the trade surplus between April and May underscores a notable shift in Taiwan’s trade dynamics, suggesting either stronger export performance, softer import demand, or a combination of both. While detailed drivers behind the change are not provided, the widening surplus points to continued resilience in Taiwan’s trade sector during the period.
