中国大陆需求减缓台湾出口跌势

Taiwan yesterday posted a seventh consecutive month of falling exports, but at a slower rate of decline thanks to stronger demand from China.
台湾昨日公布的出口数据连续第七个月出现下降，不过由于来自中国大陆的需求增加，下降的速度有所放缓。

The Taiwanese trade data came as the World Bank underlined the importance of Chinese demand in its latest assessment of the region's economies. While there were “signs that the strongest economy in the region, China, is beginning to turn the corner”, the bank cautioned that “a sustainable [east Asian] recovery will ultimately depend on developments in the advanced economies”.
在台湾贸易数据公布的同时，世界银行(World Bank)在对东亚经济的最新评估中，强调了中国需求的重要性。虽然“有迹象表明东亚最强大的经济体中国正开始好转”，但世界银行警告称“实现可持续的（东亚）复苏，最终取决于发达经济体的事态发展”。

In Taiwan, March exports fell by a third compared with a year ago, the finance ministry said. Nonetheless, the $15.5bn (€11.5bn, £10.5bn) of goods shipped was the highest in four months and nearly 24 per cent more than in February. “Exports were slightly boosted by rush orders after the Chinese New Year and by the replenishment of inventory,” the ministry said.
台湾财政部称，台湾3月份出口同比下降三分之一。但155亿美元的出口总额是4个月来的最高水平，比2月份增加近24%。该部表示：“春节后的加急订单和库存补充，稍稍推动了出口增加。”

Recent consumer demand from China, spurred by Beijing's stimulus measures, has provided some relief to Taiwanese companies. China accounted for 40 per cent of Taiwan's exports last month, compared with 30 per cent at the beginning of the year.
受北京刺激方案的推动，中国大陆近期的消费者需求为台湾企业提供了一些喘气空间。向中国大陆的出口占台湾3月份出口额的40%，而今年初这一比例为30%。
