Taiwan's Economy Is Soaring As a Result of The AI Boom. Its President Will Give Cash To Residents.
Lai said the plan would use higher revenue from AI-driven growth to keep the budget balanced and avoid new borrowing.
- On Monday, President William Lai announced that Taiwan's 2027 budget includes a universal NT$10,000 cash handout for all citizens, funded by NT$235.7 billion in new spending.
- Strong economic growth, forecast to reach a 39-year high, enables the government to share what Lai described as an AI-related dividend without increasing public debt.
- The proposed NT$3.9266 trillion budget allocates NT$373 billion for family support and pushes defense spending to NT$1.1225 trillion, exceeding NT$1 trillion for the first time.
- Lai hopes the opposition-controlled Legislature will review the budget on schedule, though the Presidential Office has not provided eligibility details for the cash distribution.
- Implementation of the Smart Nation 2.0 plan and increased local government support aim to ensure economic gains benefit all citizens while maintaining long-term financial discipline.
