Taiwan's exports likely fell 0.22% in July, down for a fifth straight month though at a slower pace as the Covid-19 pandemic hit global demand for the island's electronic goods, according to the median forecasts of 14 analysts polled by Reuters.

Taiwan is one of Asia's major exporters, especially of technology goods, and its export trend is a key gauge of global demand for technology gadgets worldwide. Its largest trading partner is China.

Forecasts ranged widely from a decline of 4.5% to a growth of 3% in the midst of uncertainties over the coronavirus outbreak that has disrupted global supply chains and hit the growth outlook for the island's tech manufacturers.

Exports in June dropped 3.8% from a year earlier to $27.13 billion, falling for a fourth straight month.

Taiwan's economy recorded its deepest contraction in nearly 11 years in the second quarter, as the pandemic dampened tourism though global demand for the island's tech exports helped counter the slowdown.

Meanwhile, the poll showed the inflation rate in July was seen at -0.44% from a year earlier, compared with -0.76% recorded in June.

The Dazzling Fake Flowers: Is there any alternative to artificial flowers while decorating homes, showrooms, offices and business establishments? Fresh flowers are undoubtedly beautiful, but they dry out quickly. Hence, the demand for plastic flowers is rising day by day. Traders said these lifelike silk flowers usually come from China and Thailand. The photo was taken from the 29th International Trade Fair of the Chattogram Chamber on Friday.
