今年台湾经济表现出乎意料之糟,第一季度经济增长率仅为1.06%,而第二季度更为一2.35%,估计第三季度也仍是负增长,而第四季度则充其量恢复正常而已,因此,8月17日,台湾“行政院主计处”预估台湾今年全年经济增长率为-0.37%,查阅台湾统计资料,这是台湾自1952年以来首次出现负增长。固然美国经济衰退、日本经济持续低迷对台湾经济造成了影响,但经济表现如此之糟,既差于两次石油危机时期,更差于亚洲金融风暴

This year Taiwan’s economy showed unexpected performance. The economy grew by only 1.06% in the first quarter and 2.35% in the second quarter. It is estimated that the third quarter will still be negative while the fourth quarter will resume normal at all. Therefore, on August 17, Taiwan’s “Statistical Office of the Executive Yuan” estimated Taiwan’s economic growth rate to be -0.37% for the whole year this year. Viewing the statistics of Taiwan, this is the first time that Taiwan has experienced negative growth since 1952. Although the U.S. recession and Japan’s economic downturn have affected Taiwan’s economy, its economic performance is so bad that it is worse than the two oil crises and worse than the Asian financial crisis
