Why it matters
The yearly rate is less noisy than the quarterly change and is the figure most people mean by "economic growth". It shapes the earnings outlook for local companies, tax revenue, and the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan)'s view of how much spare capacity the economy has.
How it is calculated
the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) compares real GDP (after inflation) with the same quarter or year before; full-year figures sum the four quarters.
Growth (yoy) = real GDP ÷ real GDP a year ago − 1What changes mean
- Growth above the country's trend (about 1–2% for advanced economies, more for emerging ones) tends to raise inflation pressure.
- Annual growth turns only slowly; the quarterly figure shows turning points earlier.
Higher than expected: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the New Taiwan dollar and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Lower than expected: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the New Taiwan dollar tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
A short history
Annual national accounts spread after the Second World War under the UN System of National Accounts (first edition 1953).
