Taiwan's economy surged 12.92% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026, following a 14.55% increase in the first quarter, primarily due to strong international demand for advanced semiconductors used in artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. This growth, led by tech giants like TSMC and Hon Hai (Foxconn), has resulted in a significant increase in exports, particularly to the United States. However, the prosperity is not evenly distributed, with traditional sectors struggling and wages remaining low for most workers.
