Source : TGdaily The Taipei Times reports that the Minister for Finance of the island has been shocked by the latest figures concerning exports.
Last December, the export of electronics products dropped by 43,4% compared to last year. Among these products, LCD screens are most affected, with a steep fall of 69,2%.
China should be also affected since they import many components from Taiwan to manufacture end products exported to the rest of the world. They have lowered their orders by 54%.
This does not obligatorily mean that the market of computer sales has stopped, but that all manufacturers are reducing to the lowest possible their product stocks in order to spare their bank accounts.
