Taiwan's tech-reliant economy is expected to grow faster than previously predicted in 2026, riding the wave of demand for artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the statistics office said on Friday, adding there could be further upward revisions. Gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to expand by 7.71% this year, the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics said, much better than the 3.54% pace it predicted in November.
