Taiwan’s consumer price inflation almost came to a standstill in October 2026, with the CPI non-seasonally adjusted (NSA) rising just 0.06% month-over-month, down sharply from a 0.45% increase in September 2026. The latest data, updated on 5 November 2026, shows a pronounced cooling in short-term price momentum.
On a month-over-month basis, the October reading indicates that price pressures eased significantly compared with the previous month, when September’s CPI NSA climbed 0.45% versus August. The current figure suggests that, while prices are still edging higher, the pace of increase has slowed markedly, pointing to a softer inflation environment entering the final quarter of 2026.
