FX.co ★ Taiwan’s Export Growth Cools in October, Year‑on‑Year Pace Eases to 58.9%

Taiwan’s exports remained robust in October 2026 but showed signs of cooling, with year‑on‑year growth easing to 58.9%, down from 60.9% in September 2026. The latest data, updated on 9 November 2026, indicate that while external demand is still strong compared with a year earlier, the pace of expansion has moderated slightly.

The figures are based on a year‑over‑year comparison, where the “actual” reading for October measures export performance against October of the previous year, and the “previous” reading reflects September’s exports versus the same month a year earlier. The shift from 60.9% to 58.9% suggests that, although Taiwan continues to post exceptionally high annual export gains, the peak momentum seen in September may have passed as global conditions evolve toward the end of the year.
