Economy
Its success was built on a policy of rapid industrialisation coupled with low overheads and labour costs rather than raw materials, of which there is a dearth. Massive foreign currency reserves accumulated over the years have since helped Taiwan to minimise the effects of turbulence in the world economy.
After a brief recession in 2000/01, the economy is growing at a healthy rate (5.5% in 2007). The performance of the Taiwanese economy is significantly affected by external political and economic conditions, especially in China (PR). In January 2002, Taiwan was admitted to the World Trade Organisation.
