Key risks and considerations

Taiwan does not meet the floors for an overall rating: only 1 of 7 weighted categories could be scored (minimum 5) and data coverage is 24%, below the 70% floor. Treat the category detail below as partial evidence, not a verdict.

The main risk driver is no investment-treaty protection with Australia.

Context — not scored

Unemployment

Displayed, never scored: ambiguous for an entrant and unreliable where informal employment dominates.

Trade agreement

No Australian FTA in force

Market access is decision-relevant but a benefit, not a risk — kept out of the rating.

Regional advisories

No higher regional advisory levels

DFAT Smartraveller sub-national advice where it exceeds the overall level.
