財政部統計處長蔡美娜表示,今年全年出口規模確定超過日本,是台灣光復以來首見。十月出口九六七.六億美元,創歷年單月新高,連續三十六個月成長,創史上最長成長紀錄。
〔記者鄭琪芳/台北報導〕出口首破九〇〇億美元!財政部昨公布十月出口九六七.六億美元、創歷年單月新高,月增十.九%、年增五十八.九%,連續三十六個月成長、創史上最長成長;前十月出口七五八二.九億美元、年增四十七.七%,持續刷新歷年新高。財政部表示,全年出口衝破九千億美元毫無懸念,今年出口規模確定超車日本,可望躍居全球第七或第八名,改寫兩項歷史紀錄。
連續36個月成長 史上最長
十月進口六八八.九億美元、創單月新高,月增八.三%、年增七十五.一%;前十月進口五六九七.六億美元、年增四十四.六%。十月出超二七八.八億美元、創單月新高;前十月出超一八八五.四億美元、年增六八九.七億美元,其中對美國出超達一九〇九.六億美元。
財政部統計處長蔡美娜表示,十月出口讓人驚奇,主因AI發展持續擴散、供應鏈通膨有增無減、消費性電子新品鋪貨等,預料十一月出口約九四二億至九六七億美元、年增四十七%至五十一%。至於美國期中選舉的影響,她說,AI大趨勢不容挑戰,不管各國之間如何搏鬥,台灣仍居全球AI競賽軍火商地位,長遠來看,不太會影響台灣的優勢。
資通產品、電子零件占8成
主要貨品中,十月資通與視聽產品、電子零組件出口均創單月新高,各年增七十二.九%及六十一.四%,其餘貨類平均增二十五.七%;前十月資通產品、電子零組件合計占總出口約八成。我國出口市場板塊明顯位移,前十月對美出口比重三十一.七%、創三十六年同期新高,對中港出口比重降至二十三.八%、創二十七年新低。

Thames Water, the UK's largest water company, announced the launch of a new round of senior debt financing. The first phase plans to implement 600 million pounds of new borrowings and extend the liquidity support cycle to the autumn of 2027 to gain restructuring time to deal with the financial crisis caused by about 20 billion pounds of debt.

Nvidia shares fell nearly 5% in premarket trading amid an internal investigation into whether CEO Jensen Huang had been targeted by foreign intelligence agencies. The investigation stems from media reports about Huang's relationship with a businessman suspected of being a Chinese intelligence asset. Nvidia's board expressed confidence in Huang, a move that analysts expect will spark congressional investigations and intensify scrutiny of chip sales to China.

Data from Taiwan's Ministry of Finance show that Taiwan's exports have grown for 36 consecutive months, with monthly exports reaching US$96.76 billion, a year-on-year increase of 58.9%, a record high. Demand for AI infrastructure drove exports of electronic components and information and communication products to a record high, with the trade surplus expanding to US$27.88 billion. South Korea became Taiwan's largest single source of imports for the first time.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Labor announced that starting from January 1 next year, employers who repeatedly violate minimum wage regulations will face cumulative fines. The starting point for fines for specific entities such as listed companies and medical centers is NT$50,000. Local governments must announce the fine standards.

The Taiwan Academy of Economics predicts that Taiwan’s economy will grow by 12.34% this year and 6.45% next year. AI investment will drive exports and consumption, but the conflict in the Middle East and the intensity of AI investment will be the main variables; Nvidia CEO Huang Jen-Hsun’s extramarital affair controversy is unlikely to impact Taiwan’s AI supply chain.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang admitted to extramarital affair, and US intelligence officials said the woman involved was a Chinese spy. This incident triggered market concerns about Nvidia's over-reliance on Huang Jensen, and may affect the company's strategic position in U.S.-China chip export controls and trade secret protection.
