The Economic Roundup is an excerpted translation of the Chinese-language ROC Economic Yearbook published by the Economic Daily News, a sister publication of the Taiwan Economic News. The yearbook is the most comprehensive and authoritative source for understanding the fundamentals of Taiwan's economy, both in the macro and micro aspects. The excerpted translation gives foreign readers a concise view of the island's overall economic picture. It is divided into four parts: general economy, primary industries, secondary industries, and tertiary industries.

| Tertiary Industry > Convenience Stores |
| In 2005, the number of convenience stores in Taiwan reached 8,709, equivalent one for every 2,605 local people, and is expected to hit 9,000 in 2006. With the slowdown in the growth of the number of outlets, the convenience-store business is going to stage a competition on the quality of stores on several major fronts, including marketing, front-line services, and logistics for the supply of fresh foods and commodities. |
