Taiwan's government reported that its business climate monitor remained in the “yellow-red” zone for the second consecutive month, signalling a robust yet shifting export-oriented economy. The National Development Council noted a two-point drop to 32, the threshold ofb the yellow-red category, influenced by weaker industrial production due to sluggish sales in metal and petrochemical sectors. Electronics suppliers continued to benefit from the artificial intelligence boom, offsetting challenges faced by non-tech firms amid global monetary tightening. The leading indicators index, predicting economic conditions for the next six months, declined 0.47% to 101.84, affected by drops in construction activity and business confidence.
