The Atradius Payment Practices Barometer for May 2019 indicates that the insolvency environment in Taiwan is expected to worsen over the next months. The economic outlook for Taiwan is less optimistic than a year ago, with domestic demand impacted by low wage growth and a reduction in tourists from mainland China. Fiscal stimulus and large investments are expected to support domestic demand. The proportion of total B2B sales made on credit in Taiwan has remained relatively stable over the past few years, at around 50%. Taiwan's top imports include mineral fuels, iron, steel, and organic chemicals, while its top trading partners are China, the US, Japan, Vietnam, and Hong Kong.
