Taiwan’s 50 Richest

After a modest 1.3% expansion in 2023, Taiwan’s economy, propelled by an exports surge, revved up in the first quarter of 2024, logging a 6.5% rise, the fastest pace in almost three years. The benchmark Taiex stock index was up by nearly a third since we last measured fortunes 14 months ago, boosting the combined wealth of Taiwan’s 50 richest to $174 billion from $155 billion last year.
