Taiwan’s consumer price growth picked up modestly in October 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.20% month-on-month, according to data updated on 5 November 2026. This marks a slight acceleration from September 2026, when the CPI increased by 0.18% compared with August.
The latest figures indicate a marginal strengthening in short-term price pressures, as October’s “actual” month-on-month change in prices outpaced the “previous” comparison period. The September reading reflected the price movement from August to September, while the October figure measures the change from September to October, underscoring a small but measurable uptick in Taiwan’s month-to-month inflation dynamics.
