Supported by Taiwan’s healthy telecom market and the acceleration of AI-driven digital transformation across industries, Chunghwa Telecom’s performance in 2025 was driven by three key growth engines: steady expansion of its core telecom business, strong momentum in its emerging ICT businesses, and increased contributions from its group subsidiaries.
