00:00Taiwan's March export orders hit a record single-month high.
00:04The Finance Ministry says exports hit over 80 billion U.S. dollars last month.
00:09That's 61 percent higher than February and almost 62 percent up year-on-year.
00:14The Ministry says the growth reflects a global shortage of tech parts,
00:18prompting foreign buyers to stock up.
00:20Meanwhile, the Economy Ministry's data shows domestic investment in tech fabs is slowing down.
00:25Some analysts say it's an early sign of the industry shifting to the U.S.,
00:29but the Ministry says it's because of a high basis of comparison
00:32after many companies invested heavily last year.
