00:00The Asian Development Bank has cut its forecast for Taiwan's economic growth next year,
00:05pointing to high U.S. tariffs and ongoing trade uncertainty.
00:09It's lowered the 2026 outlook from 3 percent growth to 2.3 percent.
00:14The bank says exports have stayed strong this year thanks to a rush in tech and AI-related
00:19orders ahead of the new tariffs.
00:21But it warns growth will likely slow in the second half of this year and into the next
00:25due to restrictive U.S. trade policies and weak demand at home.
