Taiwan's Q1 2013 economic growth
Commenting on Taiwan's Q1 2013 economic growth at 1.54%, way lower than the forecast value of 3.26%, Kuan said that he was surprised that this was due to the low consumption by private sectors in Taiwan. He added that CEPD aimed for Taiwan's 4% overall economic growth in 2013, although it might be impossible knowing that Taiwan will need a straight 5% economic growth for the remaining quarters of the year. However, he added that investments in private sectors are still rising, an indication of a positive economic outlook.[4]
Taiwan's 2013 global competitiveness ranking decline
Commenting on Taiwan's 2013 global competitiveness ranking decline by the International Institute for Management Development in end of May 2013, Kuan said that it is not that Taiwan not improving themselves better, but other nations did better than Taiwan. He added that the business regulations have been liberated in Taiwan but not as much as what have been done in other countries.[5]
