New Delhi, June 10 -- Taiwan's exports soared to an all-time high in May, rising 38.6 percent year-on-year to USD 51.74 billion, according to a report by Focus Taiwan, citing data from the Ministry of Finance (MOF).

This marks the 19th straight month of export growth and is the first time the island's monthly exports have crossed the USD 50 billion mark.

The sharp increase was largely driven by a surge in foreign orders ahead of the expiration of a 90-day pause on U.S. reciprocal tariffs in early July.

The tariff suspension followed U.S. President Donald Trump's April 2 announcement of new tariffs, including a 32 percent duty on goods from Taiwan. A week later, the 90-day pause was introduced to give time for negotiations.
