Taiwan’s Central Bank says factors including the US presidential election will cause uncertainty for Taiwan's economy this year.

Officials say the economy is rebounding steadily with several institutions raising their forecasts for its growth rate this year to over 3.5% but the bank says five major issues will affect the island's economic performance, most notably, the outcome of the presidential election in the US at the end of the year, which could lead to significant changes in the international political and economic landscape.
