Taipei, June 27 (CNA) Taiwan’s economy flashed a yellow-blue light in May for the second

Citing data, the NDC said the overall composite score of monitoring indicators for May rose three points from a month earlier to 20, representing the second consecutive monthly yellow-blue light after a blue light in March.
The NDC said the recovery also reflected increases in industrial production and manufacturing sector sales in the month. [FULL STORY]
