Taiwan, with a population of around 23.38 million people, has a GDP of approximately 804.89 billion making it the 22nd largest economy in the world. The official currency of Taiwan is the New Taiwan Dollar (TWD)
The economy is a global leader in technology, driven by the manufacturing of semiconductors and electronic components. It is a member of APEC and the WTO, with China, the United States, and Japan being its most crucial economic partners.
The most popular digital payment method in Taiwan is the credit card, which is widely used for both online and offline retail. E-wallets like LINE Pay and JKOPAY are also extremely popular for in-store QR code payments, P2P transfers, and bill payments.
