Taiwan exports rise 8.6%

Taiwan’s exports grew nearly four times faster than expected in June, boosted by brisk electronics shipments and sales to China and Japan, but analysts cautioned that momentum might not sustain. 

Exports in June rose 8.6% from a year earlier, data from the Ministry of Finance showed, against 2.3% growth forecast. That compared with a rise of 0.9% in May and 1.9% fall in April.
