Taiwan’s consumer prices rebounded sharply in February 2026, with the CPI non-seasonally adjusted (NSA) rising 0.64% month-on-month, reversing a slight decline recorded at the start of the year. The latest data, updated on 06 March 2026, show a clear acceleration from January 2026, when the CPI NSA slipped 0.04% compared with December.
The month-on-month comparison highlights a notable shift in price dynamics: after a marginal contraction in January, February’s reading points to renewed upward pressure on consumer prices. Investors and analysts will be watching subsequent releases closely to assess whether this marks the beginning of a sustained inflation uptick or a one-off rebound following the previous month’s softness.
