Taiwan’s consumer price inflation slowed in October 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 2.33% year-on-year, down from 2.73% in September. The latest data, updated on 5 November 2026, indicate a moderation in price pressures after a stronger reading in the previous month.
Both the current and previous figures are measured against the same month a year earlier, showing how price growth is evolving on a year-over-year basis. The October easing suggests that inflationary momentum may be stabilizing, which could provide some relief to households and offer policymakers slightly more room as they assess the balance between supporting growth and containing prices.
