Taiwan’s economy returned to growth in the third quarter, expanding by a weaker than expected 1 per cent as subdued domestic demand outweighed a pickup in overseas orders for electronics.

台湾经济第三季度重回增长轨道，尽管1%的增幅低于预期，原因在于海外电子产品订单的增长无法弥补岛内需求的减少。

Analysts had expected quarterly gross domestic product growth of 1.5 per cent, up from the 0.2 per cent contraction in the three months to June – the first quarterly contraction since 2010. Government economists blamed “frail domestic demand for the disappointing headline figure in a statement accompanying the data.

分析师此前预计台湾第三季度国内生产总值(GDP)将增长1.5%。台湾经济第二季度收缩0.2%，是2010年以来首次出现收缩。政府经济学家在针对最新经济数据的声明中称，整体数据令人失望的主要原因是“内部需求萎靡。

The government also lowered its full-year growth forecasts to 1.05 per cent from 1.66 per cent, and its forecasts for next year to 3.09 per cent from 3.67 per cent, citing weak consumption and uncertainty over the outlook for export markets.

同时，政府将今年全年增长预期从1.66%下调至1.05%，将明年的增长预期从3.67%下调至3.09%，原因是消费乏力，并且出口市场前景充满不确定性。

The slight rebound comes amid a recovery in the country’s exports, boosted in part by increased demand for electronics components in a period with many product launches, including computers running the new Windows operating system and the new Apple iPhone.
