TAIPEI: Taiwan's economy is forecast to expand at an annual 3.7 percent in the third quarter from a year ago, barely changed from 3.74 percent seen in the second quarter, a Reuters poll showed.

The gross domestic product growth forecast for the July-September quarter is based on the median figure of 13 analysts surveyed by Reuters.

Friday's preliminary GDP figure issued by Taiwan's statistics agency will be followed by revised figures two to three weeks later, with more detail.
