(MENAFN) Taiwan's export orders growth slowed in November, amid global uncertainties, while the island's economics ministry slightly cut its forecasts for the current year, Gulf News reported.
Export orders in November rose 6 percent from a year earlier, below the 8.8 percent forecast in the Reuters poll as well as the ministry's expectations for around a 10 percent gain.
Still orders for information communication goods, the main driver for Taiwan's exports, posted a record monthly high of USD13.69 billion in November, the ministry's data showed.
November orders totaled USD43.51 billion, down from October's USD44.9 billion, also a record high, because of falling demand for petrochemical goods, the ministry said.
