Taiwan’s GDP per capita surpasses both Korea and Japan

The IMF recently estimated the 2022 GDP per capita of South Korea at US$33,590 and that of Japan at US$34,360, down 4 percent and 12.6 percent year on year, respectively.

According to the IMF, this year’s difference between the two is likely to the smallest since its records began. It also said that Taiwan is likely to post the highest GDP per capita in East Asia by beating both South Korea and Japan.

Taiwan’s GDP per capita is estimated to increase from US$33,140 to US$35,510 this year. Then, its GDP per capita will exceed South Korea’s for the first time since 2003 and exceed Japan’s for the first time ever.

The rapid GDP growth of Taiwan is based on the government’s intensive support in its semiconductor industry. According to industry sources, TSMC’s sales are estimated to have exceeded Samsung Electronics’ for the first time in the third quarter of this year.

 
GDP per capita in Hong Kong is expected to reach 38523.00 USD by the end of 2022, will be the highest in East Asia if Macua is not included.
GDP per capita in Macau is expected to reach 55950.00 USD by the end of 2022, but Macau is too small to be considered a proper city.
 
Congrats

That’s it what we can learn from TW. Focusing on electronics. Time to move on from making shoes.

From the details of the report we can tell it's rather due to Japan's fast decline than Taiwan's growth.

We have moved on to that, Vietnam has been manufacturing electronics for Samsung, Panasonic, Sony. And we have our own brands now like Vinfast.

Even my Sony earbuds are made in VN.

Soon, South Korea's GDP per capita will surpass Japan's. Maybe China will surpass Japan too in the next 20 years.

I am afraid Taiwan will follow Japan with population decline and slow death march.
 
And where do you think Taiwan gets all these income from?
