Taiwan's trade with Singapore keeps hitting records, good news for Taiwan's chip and AI exporters and for both governments' push to deepen ties.

• Taiwan passed China and Malaysia in 2025 to become Singapore's biggest trading partner, and looks set to hold that spot.
• Two-way trade in the first half of 2026 nearly doubled from a year earlier, another record.
• AI and semiconductors drive it — chips and related parts make up roughly 85% of what Taiwan sends to Singapore.
• Singapore is now Taiwan's largest source of foreign investment, supplying most of the money coming in.
• A new tax deal signed in late 2025 cuts double taxation, making it cheaper for companies to invest across both markets.

Outlook: Chip and AI demand should keep the trade numbers climbing, with more government-level cooperation likely to follow the business boom.
