Taiwan’s GDP plunges more than 8%

Taiwan has entered the island’s worst recorded contraction, officials said
on Wednesday as a steep slowdown in global electronics sales slammed the
export-reliant economy.

Asia's sixth-largest economy saw its gross domestic product shrink by 8.36 percent
in the last three months of 2008 compared to a year before, a bigger drop than
analysts expected and overshadowing the poor figures reported earlier
by export rivals Japan, South Korea and Singapore. For the whole of 2008
the island eked out growth of 0.12 per cent despite the fourth quarter debacle.

紀念一下，難得在Financial Times看到台灣的新聞
史上最大的經濟衰退在我有生之年出現了，不知道該高興還是難過
國際經濟情勢的惡劣當然是主要原因，但馬團隊並未即時因時制宜的提出方案也要負責
總之就是出現的，先不要想怎麼指責或自怨自艾
怎麼扭轉現在的頹勢才是當前應該要做的要事

雖然接下來大筆的資金要拿去念書
但留下來投資的錢應該會在第二季大筆投入
剩下的就看下半年了

台灣加油啊！
