The economy actually shrunk if you consider inflation.

No it’s not.

I stand corrected. It is real GDP.

That’s annual growth, 4th quarter was 5.12%. It was negative in Q1, what was Taiwan supposed to do when the whole world suddenly decided to jack up rates and reduce money supply? I think it was handled well, next year projections are at 3.5% too.

This is not exhaustive, but 1.4% seems piss poor.

Those numbers don’t look accurate. I just looked up Bank of Korea’s numbers, and they’re 1.4% for 2023.

Chat gpt isn’t good for anything after 2021.

Not really. These countries all had severe recession in 2020 and did awful in 2022, or are lying through their teeth (China). In aggregate 1.4% is fine.

Looks like you are right. I asked Bard. It does have somewhat up-to-date information, but yeah AI are wrong a lot.

Since you used a generative AI platform to come up with these (false) figures, it’d be helpful if you identified your source right as you post it. Then we’d know immediately what we are dealing with. This comment btw is not specific to you—it would be helpful for everyone to clarify where they are getting their numbers.

Yeah I am sorry. You can come down off your high horse. I stand by my point though. 1.4% is shit.

This conversation is hilarious.

My horses may be high, but they are clearly sourced. :upside_down_face:

There is already enough bullsh&t on this site to last several lifetimes. I struggle to see the burning need to add more. :person_shrugging:

Yes sir, holier than thou, and good to know. But it was not your horses whose pedigree I was doubting.

Mind you there was a weak base effect at play. Beat forecasts though.
