Taiwan’s economy grew at the fastest pace in a year as consumer spending continued to rebound, giving the government a much-needed boost before a critical presidential election in January.

Gross domestic product in the July to September period rose 2.32% from a year earlier, official data showed Tuesday. That exceeded the median estimate of 2% growth in a Bloomberg survey of economists and compares with a 1.36% rise in the second quarter, when the economy climbed out of recession.

Consumer spending was the largest contributor to third-quarter growth, rising 8.9%, stronger than the government previously forecast, according to the statistics bureau’s statement. External demand was a positive contributor to GDP growth for the first time since the third quarter of 2022.
