2025年8月，台湾出口订单同比增长19.5%，达到600亿美元，较上月上调的20.8%有所缓解。轻微放缓的原因是机械（7月份为+3.0%对+6.2%）、信息和通信产品（+20.6%对+24.2%）、光学和摄影仪器（+9.8%对+13.6%）和其他商品（+13.0%对+19.4%）的增长疲软，而化学品（-9.5%对+7.8%）、电机（-2.0%对+2.3%）、运输设备（-18.1%对+1.1%）、纺织品（-0.8%对+0.8%）和矿产品（-9.1%对+10.4%）的增幅有所下降。相比之下，电子产品的出口订单增长更快（+39.5%对+32.9%），部分抵消了整体放缓。

Orders for Taiwanese exports rose 19.5% year-on-year in August 2025 to USD 60.0 billion, easing from an upwardly revised 20.8% increase in the previous month.

台湾中央银行在2025年9月的会议上将其关键贴现率维持在2%，符合市场预期。这一决定反映了在全球不确定性中采取的谨慎态度，包括美国贸易政策、央行主要行动、中国经济增长放缓和地缘政治风险。台湾经济在2025年上半年表现出色，这得益于对人工智能和新兴技术的强劲需求、强劲的出口和不断扩大的私人投资。央行将2025年的GDP预测上调至4.55%。2025年1月至8月的CPI平均为1.83%，部分原因是最近天气条件下食品价格上涨，而核心CPI上涨了1.64%。央行预计全年CPI和核心CPI分别增长1.75%和1.67%，均低于2024年2.18%和1.88%的水平。该行强调，保持政策利率稳定旨在应对全球经济不确定性和美国贸易政策风险，同时支持国内稳定增长和通胀持续放缓。

The Central Bank of Taiwan maintained its key discount rate at 2% in its September 2025 meeting, in line with market expectations. The decision reflects a cautious approach amid global uncertainties, including US trade policy, major central bank actions, slowing growth in China, and geopolitical risks. Taiwan’s economy outperformed in H1 2025, supported by strong demand for AI and emerging technologies, robust exports, and expanding private investment. The central bank raised its GDP forecast for 2025 to 4.55%. CPI for January–August 2025 averaged 1.83%, partly due to elevated food prices amid recent weather conditions, while core CPI rose 1.64%. The central bank projects full-year CPI and core CPI growth of 1.75% and 1.67%, respectively, both below 2024 levels of 2.18% and 1.88%. The Bank emphasized that keeping the policy rate steady aims to navigate global economic uncertainties and US trade policy risks, while supporting stable domestic growth and continued moderation in inflation.
